Help in my time of need... A desperate plea
I am writing to you today with a very personal and painful request. It's about a story that has been with me for many years and in which I still can't find a solution.
Some time ago, I had a relationship with a man who destroyed me emotionally and financially. He was mentally ill, manipulative and led me further and further into addiction. At the time, I took out loans in my name to fulfil his wishes and help him, always believing it was the right thing to do. But the money disappeared very quickly and I could never understand where it went. In the end, there were two loans and several small amounts, all in my name, totalling around €50,000. The debts I took on are still there, but the money I borrowed for him is long gone. And I only got €2000 back from him because he refused to reimburse me for what he actually owed me.
I had no support from my family. When I fled from my ex-boyfriend a year ago and was living on the streets in Poland, my parents brought me back to Germany, but they never gave me any real help. When I came back, I had to fend for myself, without support, both emotionally and financially. I worked hard to reduce the debt he had caused and was able to pay off 8,000 euros of it last year. But the burden is still far too heavy.
Two months ago, I had an accident at work, which has made everything even worse. I now have health problems and have to have shoulder surgery next month. I expect to be unable to work for two to three months after the operation. There is also the uncertainty of whether I will be able to stay in my job at all after the accident. This means even more financial strain for me and even less prospect of an improvement in my situation.
I'm at the end of my tether. I don't know how I'm going to get through this situation on my own. I have neither the financial means to pay off my debts nor the support I urgently need to get back on my feet.
That's why I'm turning to you in the hope that there are people out there who understand my plight and can help me. Any donation, however small, would help me to reduce my debts and cover my medical costs so that I have a chance of a better life again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening to me and offering to help me in this desperate situation.
