A Home in Need: Helping My Mom Find Safety and Peace Again
My name is David, and I want to share the story of my mom’s home a place that should be her sanctuary, her safe space, but that has recently become a source of stress, worry, and danger. I am reaching out to all kind hearted people because we need help to restore her apartment and bring it back to a safe and livable condition.
A few months ago, my mom’s apartment was supposed to be improved through renovation work. What should have been a simple upgrade turned into a nightmare. The contractors who were hired to renovate performed the work very poorly. The consequences are serious: the electrical wiring inside the walls was almost completely destroyed, leaving many wall sockets unusable. Simple tasks like plugging in a lamp, charging a phone, or using kitchen appliances became impossible. The damage is not just cosmetic it is a danger to my mom’s safety. Every day she lives with the risk of electrical hazards, and it has created constant worry for both of us.
A little background about us. I currently work for a football club, dedicating much of my energy and time to my job. On top of that, I am pursuing education in digital marketing, hoping to build a stable future for myself and eventually help my family more effectively. Despite my efforts and full commitment, I am unable to cover the full cost of repairing the apartment.
My mom’s situation adds another layer of urgency. She is severely ill and cannot work, relying entirely on a very small amount of social assistance to cover her daily needs. For her, and for our family, the cost of repairing the apartment is overwhelming, it is something we cannot handle on our own. The financial challenge is significant, but beyond the numbers, the emotional and physical toll of living in a damaged and unsafe home has been hard for her to bear.
The repairs needed are extensive. The funds we are seeking will be used to:
-
Replace damaged electrical wiring and restore all wall sockets to full functionality
-
Repair and restore walls after the electrical work
-
Paint and finish the apartment to make it safe, comfortable, and warm again
The total estimated cost for this work is around €6,000. For our family, this is a huge sum, but every euro donated will go directly to restoring my mom’s home. Not a single cent will be wasted. Even the smallest contribution, whether it’s one euro or more, brings us one step closer to our goal.
I want to take a moment to speak directly to anyone reading this. To all people of goodwill, your support whether through a donation or simply by sharing our campaign would mean the world to us. Your generosity is not just financial; it is an act of compassion, a gift of safety and peace for my mom. May God bless you for your kindness and willingness to help a family in need. Every contribution, big or small, carries hope, love, and gratitude from the bottom of our hearts.
Living in this damaged home has been difficult, but the thought of finally being able to provide my mom with a safe, warm, and comfortable place brings hope and determination. Your help will not only restore her apartment, it will restore her sense of security and dignity things no money can ever truly replace.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading our story, for your empathy, and for your support. With your help, we can bring life, safety, and warmth back into my mom’s home, and show that with the kindness of strangers, hope is always possible.
