Hello, my name is Anika. I currently live with my mom in Belgrade, Serbia. I finished my PhD in Anthropology in the US last summer, and since then, I have been searching for a job in academia. In the meantime, I've been working in sales, until now. I unexpectedly got laid off, and now I am really struggling to keep up with living costs, especially considering that my mom receives a small pension.

I also have significant debt from my time in the US, including medical and credit card debt - amounting to $6000, and am unable to keep up with the monthly payments.

I am asking for help in covering my living costs and paying off my debt. Every little bit helps.

I will admit that I am embarassed to ask for help considering how many people live in horrifying conditions. But I have no other choice. I appreciate everyone who reads this, even if you are unable to donate. Thank you.

Warmly,

Anika

Zdravo, ja sam Anika. Trenutno živim sa mamom u Beogradu. Prošlog leta sam doktorirala antropologiju u Americi i od tada tražim posao u akademiji. U međuvremenu sam radila u prodaji, ali sam iznenada dobila otkaz i našla sam se u situaciji gde ne mogu da pokrijem troškove života, posebno jer moja mama prima malu penziju.

Takođe imam dugove iz Amerike, uključujući medicinski dug i dug sa kreditne kartice - ukupno $6000, i mučim se i da pokrijem mesečne rate.

Molim vas za pomoć sa troškovima života i otplatom dugova. Svako malo pomaže.

Priznajem da se osećam posramljeno što tražim pomoć, s obzirom na to u kakvim strahovitim uslovima ljudi žive. Ali nemam drugog izbora. Cenim svakog ko je pročitao ovo, čak i ako niste u prilici da donirate. Hvala vam.

Srdačno,

Anika
