Hello, let me introduce myself.

My name is Andrea and I am the mother of 4 children

19,8,6,3.

I was born in Germany but emigrated to Croatia 12 years ago with my mother and dogs.

Had a well running business until Dec 24.

I had to pay back a short term loan but as the client had not paid it was impossible.

I also have 5 employees all with families.

Now of course the problem was that I couldn't pay this loan and as a result my company account and my private account were blocked.

But I still managed to pay the salaries before Christmas.

But one thing led to another due to public holidays and it was impossible to generate new orders.

The Croatian tax office has now also blocked all my financial resources.

As I am a company owner, I am also not creditworthy.

I already have more orders on the table, but as soon as money comes in, it is gone, which means no salaries for my employees and no money for my family.

The reserves have been used up by the 3 months.

I don't get any help from the state because I'm a German citizen.

I also have no family support as my mother already lives with me and receives a small pension.

I wouldn't ask for donations if I hadn't already tried everything.

Of course I know that there are families in worse situations, but I have 5 other livelihoods hanging on it.

I am also desperately looking for private lenders.

I hope I can at least reach out here and hope for humanity, because the authorities don't care.

Thank you in advance
