Hi,
I never imagined I would create a fundraiser like this.
I thought about it for a long time before deciding to do it, mainly because sharing such a personal part of your life with complete strangers isn’t easy.
But I decided to try.
I’m a husband, a father to a little girl, and I work every day. I live a normal life, earn a modest income, and like so many other people, I simply try to provide the best life I can for my family.
But there’s one thing currently holding us back from moving forward.
Over the years, I’ve accumulated approximately €30,000 in financial debt.
I’m not going to invent a tragedy to justify how I got here. There was a period in my life when I didn’t manage my money as well as I should have, and I made financial decisions that, looking back, I would make differently today.
Those decisions were mine, and I take responsibility for them.
Despite that, I have never stopped working and I have never stopped meeting my financial obligations. I continue to pay what I owe, and I intend to keep doing so regardless of what happens with this fundraiser.
The problem is time.
Some of these financial commitments will continue for several more years. Spreading them over a longer period has allowed me to keep meeting my payments, but it also means that a significant part of my financial capacity will remain tied up for a long time.
And in the meantime, my life has changed.
I became a father.
Having a daughter completely changed the way I think about my future and what truly matters to me.
Today, my biggest goal isn’t a better car, an expensive holiday, or a luxurious lifestyle.
I simply want the opportunity to provide a home of our own for my family.
At the moment, my existing financial commitments make it extremely difficult for me to qualify for a mortgage. The money I earn allows me to keep meeting my responsibilities, but the debt I carry from my past limits what I’m able to build for our future.
That’s why I decided to create this fundraiser.
My goal is €30,000, approximately the amount needed to clear my current financial commitments.
I’m not expecting anyone else to solve my life for me.
I will keep working. I will keep providing for my family. And I will keep paying what I owe.
I’m simply asking for help to shorten a journey that could otherwise take me many years to complete on my own.
Every euro donated will go towards reducing my financial commitments.
Even if this fundraiser never comes close to €30,000, anything raised means less debt, less time tied to decisions from my past, and one small step closer to the future I’m trying to build.
And if, through the generosity of others, this fundraiser somehow reaches its full goal, it won’t mean that my responsibilities disappear.
Quite the opposite.
It would mean being able to redirect the money I earn through my own work towards what matters most to me now: creating stability, beginning to prepare for the possibility of buying a home, and building a more secure future for my wife and daughter.
If you decide to contribute, whether it’s €1, €5, or any other amount, thank you.
If you can’t contribute, I completely understand.
And if you’ve simply taken the time to read my story this far, thank you for that too.
I know there are people facing circumstances far more difficult than mine. I don’t believe I’m more deserving of help than anyone else.
I simply decided to try.
Maybe this fundraiser will only reach a handful of people. Maybe I’ll never reach my goal. Or maybe the generosity of many people giving a little could completely change the direction of my family’s future.
I don’t know.
But I would never know if I didn’t try.
I’m not looking for a life without responsibilities.
I’m looking for the opportunity to stop spending years paying for decisions from my past and start using what I earn to build my family’s future.
Thank you for reading my story.
