I NEED YOUR HELP — IT’S A MATTER OF SURVIVAL AND A 9-YEAR-OLD DREAM

Today I write with a heavy heart and the humility of someone who has done everything they possibly could… and yet it is still not enough.

For 9 years, my husband and I have dedicated our lives to our small business — our shop, our livelihood, our dream. We have always fought, always paid everything, always done everything in our power to keep our business running with dignity and its doors open.

But now we are facing an ultimatum:

Our landlord has decided to sell the property where the shop is located. If we can’t buy it… we’ll be out on the street.

We’ll lose our premises, we’ll lose our income, we’ll lose what we’ve built with so much sacrifice and love.

We need €70,000 to buy the shop and ensure we don’t end up homeless. We’ve tried everything: banks, grants, loans, family, friends… There’s nowhere else we can get the money from. We’re truly at the end of our tether.

That is why I am asking, with all the courage I have left:

if you can donate, whatever you can, any amount counts; any help brings us closer to saving our livelihood and our business.

It’s not easy to lay ourselves bare like this. It’s not easy to ask for help. But it’s even harder to imagine losing everything we’ve spent years building.

I thank from the bottom of my heart anyone who can help, and also anyone who shares this message.

Every gesture, however small it may seem, can make the difference between losing everything… or managing to keep fighting.

Thank you, truly.
