Hello everyone,

We are a young married couple in Croatia with a 3 year old child. Both my wife and I work full time, but our combined salary is around €2000 a month. Our rent alone is €700 which is unfortunately the average in Croatia today leaving us with almost nothing to survive on. I am also doing food deliveries on the side to bring in extra money, but even with two jobs it’s becoming impossible to keep our family afloat.

We are at the edge of losing everything. We’re not just looking for “free money.” We are desperately trying to build something of our own, we want to start a small cleaning business (apartments, facades, windows etc.), but we have zero starting capital to buy equipment or even cover the first steps. Right now, it feels like no matter how hard we work, we’re stuck in survival mode. Any advice, support, or financial help would mean the world to us,even the smallest push could help us start our business and finally get out of this cycle. We have credit card debt of 40000€ ( loans and mastercard) , because we had to take loans to survive, and those loans are accumulated throughout last 6 years.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. We’re just trying to build a safe and stable future for our little one.
