Enjoy life with my son again
Donation protected
Hi,
my name is Daniel. I am 30 years old and from Germany. 8 Years ago my son was born. That time I was attending University and studying Electronic Engineering.
Unfortunately my son was born with a cleft Lip and Palate and going through three surgeries with him before he was two years old hit me so hard, that I failed University. It was a really hard time with a newborn suffering from surgery and I just could not focus on studying enough, even though I tried to.
Since then I am working as a package delivery guy trying to pay off my student loan, but this job is barley enough to pay the bills.
In the meantime his mother and I separated and my son, Luca, visits me nearly every weekend, even though I have to work most Saturdays. I love being with him but it is getting harder and harder to enjoy the time together in this financially hopeless situation. To be honest I am looking a little less forward to seeing him each weekend and I feel like I am missing his childhood and that kills me.
Without my debts, which are roughly 20.000€ (23.300USD), I would be able to enjoy the time with him again and to look for another job where I would work Monday to Friday to have full weekends for him. Maybe I even could make a vocational Training to become a programmer which would mean very low income for two up to three years being totally impossible in my current situation.
But for now all I really, really want is to be a good father for my son which is becoming more and more difficult with all those existential concerns rooting in my debts. My biggest fear is that he might suffer from me being in a kinda constantly bad mood.
I hope some of you reading this can feel with me and I would be most grateful for your support whether as a donation or for sharing this campaign.
P.S. I hope my English ain't too bad, I am a bit out of practice.
