Hello world! Hello beautiful people!

My name is Sorin, and I am currently living in Romania. I am 35 yrs old, engaged with a beautiful women, named Elena, and proud "father" of a 3 yrs old Golden Retriever, named Archie!

Our financial status right now, is..basically we're not living, we're surviving. A few months ago I was laid off from my job, due to financial struggles of the company, and that was the moment my life went upside down. Since I am the only one with a job, because my fiancee has multiple sclerosis and is retired based on her disease, with a very low income (roughly 350$ / month), loosing the main income affected us in a very harsh way, especially because we have a mortgage and the installments must be paid regardless, or we lose our home. Besides being laid off, we had some personal loans wich we were paying off, but after loosing my job we couldn't keep up with the installments and after a short while they went in default. This meant that my fiancee's income would be split in half, also my income (after getting hired) would be split in half, for the payment of the forced installments. I finally landed a job, in a call centre, where I earn approx. 650$/ month, so me and my soon to be wife are having a total income of roughly 1000$/ month, from wich we pay 350$ for mortgage ( per month), 500$ forced installments..and the rest..is history. Basically..we are in a really tough spot. We have had help from families, but we couldn't rely on their support on a daily basis, since the income is low in my country and is really difficult for them also.

I am trying to raise money, because we have some things we would really need to buy and was not able to, because of our financial situation. We really need to buy a new bed, because the one we have right now is broken and it is really difficult to sleep in a broken bed. We need to buy a carpet for our dog, because when we adopted him, half a year ago, we couldn't afford to buy a new rug (we have wooden tiles and he can't run, or jump, and also it is very damaging for his hips because he slips alot) and we glued some old blanket on the floor, but in time it ripped and we couldn't put something else, and...my dream is to buy my fiancee the ring she deserves, as I didn't had the possibility to buy her an engagement ring and...this brings me to my knees everynight I go to sleep.

We would really need these things because...they are not something that is out of the ordinary, yet..we don't have the possibility to raise money from anywhere else.

So, please, any donation would bring me closer to some happy holidays and a good sleep.
