I apologize in advance for what I am about to ask. I am so desperate that I don't know who to ask for help anymore. So I decided to reach out to complete strangers. I know that somewhere there are people who empathize with the fates of other people. I live in Bulgaria, a 49-year-old woman. I suddenly lost my job, and I am the head of the household, I live with my mother. She is almost unmovable on bed. The main income was my salary. Her pension is very low. I have expenses for her as she is bedridden, and even with my salary it was impossible we to live normal. In the time, because to face our needs, I also took several loans, most of them fast. But after I lost my job I can't pay even the standard bills. I already have arrears on my debts and they started calling me, they may give me to collectors. But I will not be able to pay the electricity and other monthly bills. I am asking for help in any amount, at the discretion of anyone who wants to help us. I don't know who to turn to, I know few people, and they have almost no option. I can't get new loans either. State aid and my mother's pension are only enough for the rent and the food. I have not been out of work for the past 7 years, but now, approaching my fifties, it is difficult to find a new job. I've never been in a more desperate situation, if it wasn't for my mother I don't know what I would do. I am not asking for big sums from few people, I am rather asking for small sums from more people.

Huge thanks in advance to anyone who responds!
