Without your help, we may lose our chance to own our first home.

I Never Thought I Would Have to Ask for Help

I've always believed that if I worked hard enough, studied hard enough, and never gave up, I could build a better future. My husband believed the same.

My name is Karen, and I am a Psychology student. Because of my academic performance, I earned a scholarship that allows me to continue my education. I also study English because I believe education is the best way to build a better future.

For years, I worked full-time while studying both Psychology and English at the same time. It wasn't easy, but I knew every sacrifice would be worth it.

My husband has worked just as hard beside me. Together, we've always done everything we could to build a stable future.

Like many people trying to improve their lives, I wanted to create another source of income.

I invested the savings I had worked years to build, hoping they would help me continue my education and one day pursue a master's degree.

Instead...

I became the victim of an investment scam.

In a matter of moments, years of effort disappeared.

The money was gone, the debt remained.

What hurt the most wasn't losing the money. It was realizing how quickly years of work could disappear.

Even after everything that happened, we refused to give up.

My husband and I kept working. We kept believing.

And when the opportunity came to buy our first apartment, we committed ourselves completely.

For the past year, we've made every monthly payment required by the construction company.

Every payment reminded us that maybe, after everything we'd been through, things were finally getting better.

Now we've reached the most difficult moment. This September, we must complete the down payment for our apartment.

At the same time, because of the debt created after the scam, the bank will not approve our mortgage loan.

Without that loan, we cannot complete the purchase of our apartment.

If we fail, we risk losing not only our future home but also everything we have already invested during the past year.

Asking for help is incredibly difficult. I never imagined I would be in this position.

But after doing everything we could on our own, we have reached a point where we simply cannot overcome this obstacle without help.

Your donation will not buy us a luxury home. It will not change our lives overnight.

It will simply give us the opportunity to keep fighting for the future we have worked so hard to build.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to keeping our dream alive.

And if you are unable to donate, sharing our story could help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us.
