"Facing Eviction: Our Final Chance to Save Our Home and Livelihood"
Hello! My name is Mario. I’m 20 years old and the oldest in my family. We live in Latin America, in a small wooden house that, while modest and not in great condition, has been our home for years and holds so many memories for us. Unfortunately, we’re currently facing a financial hardship that’s putting our stability and livelihood at serious risk.
The owner of the house has asked us to vacate by next month. This change would severely impact our livelihood, as we run a small food stand right outside our home. This location is perfect for our business, and having to leave would make it very difficult to continue, which would directly impact our family’s income. Additionally, we have some debts that make the situation even more challenging.
I’m not someone who usually asks for help, as I prefer to get ahead through my own efforts. That’s why I recently started a YouTube channel where I share my knowledge about hurricanes, providing updates on the threats and impacts these storms can have on Latin American countries. I’ve managed to make a little money through my channel, but it’s not enough to cover what we need right now.
The only way we can secure our home and business is by buying the house. The owner is willing to sell it for approximately $8,000. While this may seem like a high price, it reflects the value of the property due to its location. The house sits on a reasonably sized piece of land and is situated on a highly trafficked street, making it ideal for our small food stand business. This location has been crucial to our success, and moving away would make it nearly impossible to sustain our livelihood.
For now, we need all the help we can get. We kindly ask you to donate whatever you can and share this with as many people as possible. Your contribution will not only help us save our home and livelihood but will also ease the financial burden, allowing us to focus on building a stable future for our family.
Thank you so much for your support! We’re truly grateful for your kindness and generosity.
