Dear friends and kind-hearted people ❤️

Imagine a life where everything you have , every memory, every bit of security... hangs by a thread. My grandma, a brave 70-year-old woman from Vukovar, faces that uncertainty every single day. 💔💔

A few years ago, doctors diagnosed her with stomach cancer — thankfully, she is better now.

During the war 🪖, that took place in 1991, my grandparents lost everything. They had to rebuild their life from scratch together, starting over with nothing. My grandpa worked as a dock worker 🏗, and my grandma worked as an accountant 👩‍💻— she often worked even without pay because her employers sometimes wouldn't pay their workers. In order to rebuild the house 🏠, they took out a mortgage in Swiss francs, but the value skyrocketed to an unmanageable level 📈📈, and my grandma and grandpa could no longer afford to repay it.

They managed to keep up with the mortgage until my grandpa passed away 15 years ago from a brain tumor (glibastioma multiforme IV), leaving my grandma alone. Since then, she has lived on her own, surrounded only by her six cats 🐈 and one dog 🐕. Without him, she fell into deep depression, and financial struggles have made her life nearly unbearable. 💵🙅‍♀️

Today, she is at risk of losing her home if she cannot pay the bank €20,000. The house is old and worn, but it is all she has — the home they rebuilt from nothing after the war, a roof she has worked so hard to create and maintain. This house is not just walls and a roof, it is home, it is memories of my grandpa, it is everything that remains of a life she built with courage. Without it, she would be homeless, along with her beloved pets, facing freezing winter days with nowhere to go. 🥶

During winter, she lives without gas... she bathes in cold water or she heats water on the stove using electricity. A warm room is a luxury she can rarely afford because firewood 🌲 is too expensive. Whenever we visit, we bring extra sweaters and thick socks because even a small space cannot provide enough warmth. 👕🧦

We are doing everything we can to help, but the situation is overwhelming — I am a student, and my parents can barely cover their own needs. €20,000 is simply beyond our reach.

Please, any donation, big or small, will mean the world to us. 🌎🙏 All funds will go directly to the bank account designated for the mortgage repayment to save her home. The deadline is December 27, 2025.

Your support will give my grandma and her pets hope and safety, and show us that we are not alone in this fight. 👫

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. ❤️
