My dream: to get out of debt and regain financial peace of mind
I never thought I’d be asking strangers for help, but I decided to give it a go.
I am a single mum. A few years ago, whilst I was still in a relationship, I found myself in a difficult financial situation. My partner wasn’t working, and the cost of running the home, the bills and everyday expenses fell entirely on my shoulders. To ensure my family’s stability and cover our day-to-day needs, I was forced to take out a loan.
Shortly afterwards, I discovered that my partner had been cheating on me for a long time. I ended the relationship, but the loan remained with me.
Today, I am raising my children on my own. The children’s father does not pay maintenance, so we receive support from the maintenance fund. Although I make my repayments regularly and try to manage on my own, the monthly loan instalments of around PLN 1,200 are a very heavy burden on our budget.
There is still around PLN 15,000 left to pay off. That is significantly less than at the start, but it is still an amount that robs us of our sense of financial security every month.
My dream is not about luxury, exotic holidays or expensive items. I dream of closing this chapter of my life and freeing myself from the debt that reminds me of a very difficult period. Every donation, no matter how small, will bring me closer to my goal and allow me to spend more on my children’s needs and a more secure future.
Thank you to everyone who has taken a moment to read my story.
