Hi, my name is Artur. This is probably one of the hardest thing for me to write, but I need to be honest about where things are right now.

The past 12 months have been one of the most difficult period of my life. In March 2025, the job I thought was stable and promising suddenly crumbled, and I have been facing a brutal period of unemployment ever since.

I’ve picked up contract work where I could, but nothing lasted long enough. Despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to find stable work. I've applied to hundreds of jobs, from roles in my field to retail and anything else I felt I could do. I'm still trying every day.

The stress of not knowing how I will cover basic survival has become overwhelming. I am now at my breaking point. I haven't been able to keep up with my bills or mortgage, and I've just received a shut-off notice for my electricity.

I don't have enough to cover my essentials, such as housing, utilities, or even basic groceries. I also have two cats who mean everything to me and have been a huge source of comfort during this time. I'm struggling to provide for them as well.

Living with ADHD adds a layer of challenge to the daily search that is hard to describe, and as depression creeps in, everything feels twice as exhausting. But I am doing everything I can to keep moving forward.

Apart from the immediate struggle, there were plans to finally close the distance with my girlfriend and be together in person. The dream of building a life as a family and getting married was one of the things that kept me going through all of this. Right now, even a plane ticket to see her feels like a distant, impossible dream.

The funds raised here will go directly toward stopping my power from being cut, covering my bills and mortgage so I don't lose my home, treatment and buying food. Every dollar is a lifeline that helps me stay safe while I continue to look for work and maintain some stability during this time. My goal is to cover the next 1-2 months of essential expenses

I hate having to ask for this. But I've exhausted every other option, and I can no longer do this alone. If you're able to help, even a little, it truly means everything to me. And if you're not in a position to give, sharing this page is just as meaningful.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Any support is greatly appreciated.
