My dear friend made a courageous decision to leave her home in Romania and move to France for what she believed was a promising new start. She was offered a job opportunity that sounded perfect — a well-paying position that matched her skills as an English teacher. But when she arrived, the truth hit hard: the job offer was a scam. The role was nothing like what was promised.

She had already given up everything back home — her stable job, her apartment, and the life she had worked hard to build — all for a fresh start that crumbled the moment she arrived. Despite this heartbreaking setback, she has not given up. She fell in love with the country, the culture, and someone special, and she has been doing everything she can to stay — applying to jobs every day, staying hopeful, and pushing forward.

She is an incredibly qualified professional who speaks six languages and has years of experience as an English teacher. She wants to work, contribute, and build a new life in France, but right now, she needs our help to make it through this difficult time.

Your support will help cover rent and basic living expenses while she continues job hunting and navigates the bureaucracy of staying in France legally. With just a little help, she can avoid being forced to return to Romania and instead have a real chance to start again in the place she’s come to call home.

Please consider donating — no amount is too small — and if you can’t contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world.

Let’s show her she’s not alone. Let’s help her stay in France and keep her dream alive.

Thank you so much.
