hi

my name is francesco and if you've come to this fundraiser, don't feel obliged, but maybe if you'd like to read these two lines to get to know me a little.

i am 28 years old born and raised in apulia

at the age of 21 I moved to the north to try to create a better future for myself, to realise my dream of becoming a barber.

Unfortunately, life is difficult down there... I have not had an easy life... my parents are divorced, my father has never been present in my life... my mother has always done everything in her small way to make sure I had enough to eat...

When I was 15 I started working to help around the house... I worked as a painter and earned 15 euros a day... but I was happy even though it was little...

Then I started cutting hair as a hobby and my passion was born... I worked for 6 years from 15 to 21 as a painter and cut hair at home after work...

Then I decided to move north to try to grow and improve myself...

Everything was going well, I got a job in a barbershop... I was happy...

I took a car, got a loan... That's where I made a mistake and where I ruined my life a bit...

I lost my job and I couldn't pay back the loan...

I lost my job and I couldn't pay off the loan... I lost my job and I couldn't pay off the loan... I was taken into debt and I'm currently reported to the CRIF... they won't accept any more loans... I won't be able to take out a mortgage on a house in the future... this hurts me... it doesn't make me live any longer... I think that everything has gone wrong... and I think that I'll never be able to open a barber shop...

I'm writing here by chance... I don't know if it will work...

I still have a shred of confidence in myself... I try never to give up... I'm completely alone but I don't give up...

and I hope that one day I too will be able to say I did it...

maybe even with your help, if someone reads this announcement...

If you have come this far, I thank you infinitely... I wrote these lines with tears in my eyes...

don't feel obliged to donate, if you do, even a small one, even anonymous, I will appreciate it... even 1€ would be a nice gesture

with 25 thousand euros I could close the financing, get my hairdresser's diploma and start working in a small shop to get started right away

thanks for reading my lines.

remember that life is hard, we will face many obstacles, but never give up. maybe one day we will all be able to say 'I made it' 🍀

a hug to everyone. may god always protect you ❤️
