Frank and I have been together for 5 years. We've been through a lot, starting with how we met.

In August 2019 I was in Cuba to visit my family (my dad's). I met Frank on 9 August and we fell in love straight away. Fortunately, we still had 11 days to get to know each other a bit before I had to go back to Germany. We realised straight away that it wasn't just going to be a summer fling, so we started a long-distance relationship and so the journey began. We spoke on the phone every day for 6 months until I had saved up enough to travel to Cuba so that we could spend some time together again. After a short 3 weeks, I had to go back heartbreakingly to save enough money again, which is why I looked for a part-time job.

Unfortunately, COVID broke out completely, I couldn't get back to the love of my life so quickly, we talked on the phone every day, even if the internet connection was interrupted by constant power cuts, we still knew that the wait would be worth it. We started to get our papers together so that we could get married and finally start our future together. But unfortunately there was always one document missing, which we paid for through a lawyer in Cuba, but it was still missing. I thought I was going crazy and that God didn't want us to be together. But we kept fighting and didn't let ourselves be intimidated by the people who told us, whether in Cuba or here in Germany, that it wouldn't end well anyway. In June 2023, we finally got some great news. My dream came true when Frank came to Germany. We are enjoying our dream of living together, we have achieved what most people don't manage. We waited for each other to be able to live true love. What could make us any happier? Our next goal for our future is to get married and start a family. As his mum is still in Cuba (she lives alone and has cancer, the situation in Cuba is unfortunately not so good, there is a lack of everything) we support her financially. It is important to us that she can also experience our big day. But to reach this goal, we would certainly need another 2-3 years.

We would therefore be very grateful for any donation from you who believe in love.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read our story.

Kind regards Frank and Victoria
