My name is Barbara and I am a mother of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl.

Let me tell my story.

Three years ago, I decided to leave my ex-partner, the father of the children, because the relationship was increasingly violent. Literally overnight, I packed up, left everything I was building at the time and, for the good of the children and myself, left together with the children. But since we had nowhere to go, we had to move into a small room in my parents' house. However, because the conditions here are also intolerable and unsuitable for a child, as violence and alcoholism reign here as well. Unfortunately, I can't afford my own apartment, because I still have a loan from before, which I used to renovate the apartment in which we lived with the father of the children. Only he refuses to return my money and does not even pay child support. All I want is to provide the two children with a safe environment, a shelter, a small apartment that they could call HOME. However, since I am completely financially incapable and with my hands tied, I am also looking for additional work (I am employed full-time). From my salary, after paying the loan and all expenses, I only have a little left over for food, and with that, unfortunately, we cannot afford our own home. But I want to get to safety with my children as soon as possible, because the stress has already made me sick. I thank everyone in advance from the bottom of my heart. Barbara
