Dear friends:

My name is Jorge and I am self-employed, the owner of a car wash shop that has been my livelihood and that of my family for the past 10 years. This business has been more than a job; it has been a place where I have been able to take care of my wife and children, and provide them with a decent life.

However, I am facing a critical situation. The owner of the premises has decided not to renew the contract that expires in May, as she plans to sell the property. Despite my efforts to offer her an instalment payment with a reasonable down payment, she has been inflexible and has rejected my proposal and demanded the full payment of €100,000 and told me that if I don't have it, not to bother, so that I can continue to operate and avoid falling into poverty and being forced to close my business.

Unfortunately, as a self-employed person for 11 years, I have no access to unemployment benefits and have no possibility of renting other premises. Without this help, not only would I lose my business, but I would also see my family in a very difficult situation.

That is why I am turning to you today in the hope that you can help me raise the funds I need to buy the premises. Every donation will help to sustain my business and secure a future for my family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my request and for any support you can provide. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support at this critical time in my life.
