Hello,

My name is Olga. and I’m reaching out because I truly don’t know where else to turn.

My life hasn’t been easy. I grew up without support — my mother was an alcoholic, and my early years were shaped by instability and hardship. Later in life, I tried to build a family of my own, but my former husband refused to work and lived off me, leaving behind a trail of debt. That debt eventually led to me being evicted from the room we rented. My father turned his back on me, saying I was "worthless," and cut off all contact.

Today, I live in a support facility for people with special needs, but I haven't given up on myself. I can and want to live independently. I cook, clean, do laundry, and take care of myself. All I long for is a place of my own — somewhere my daughter can come visit me and feel warmth and safety.

I'm not asking for luxury. I’m asking for a second chance. I currently owe about €2,300 in debt, and I’m trying to raise at least €70,000 to pay it off, make a down payment for a small home, buy basic clothes, and take the first steps toward rebuilding my life.

My relatives offer no support. They don’t call or check in. It feels like I’ve been left behind by everyone — except for my daughter, who still visits me and gives me the little strength I have left.

I’m not begging for pity. I’m asking for a chance to live with dignity. For myself. And for my daughter.

If you are able to help — whether with kind words, sharing my story, or any kind of support — I will be deeply grateful.

With warmth and hope,

Olga
