EMERGENCY — We Need a Little Help Getting Back on Our Feet

€280 raised of
6 donations
We moved into a house we had visited twice. Four or five days later, we found mold on our belongings. We thought it was dust. It wasn’t.
Our first emergency goal: round 100.000 Thailändische Baht = 100.000,00 Thailändische Baht
We honestly never thought we’d make a crowdfunding campaign.
We didn’t move into this house expecting a huge lifechanging problem like this.
My partner and I had visited it twice before renting it. Everything seemed fine. We saw nothing that made us think there was a serious mold problem. The house is very open so it wasn‘t possible to smell something.
So we moved in.
We brought our belongings.
We bought new furniture.
We started making the place our home.
Then, after around 4–5 days, I noticed mold on my Muay Thai gear.
At first we thought it was dust.
Then we thought maybe it was simply the humidity.
We tried to clean it.
And then we found it on something else.
And something else.
And something else.
It kept appearing.
Clothes.
Furniture.
Equipment.
Personal belongings.
Things we’d owned for years.
Things we’d only just bought.
Eventually, we realized we weren’t dealing with one small patch that could simply be cleaned.
A large part of our belongings had been affected.
Around 80% of what we owned has been affected or damaged.
Some things may be recoverable.
Some aren’t.
And the timing couldn’t have been worse: we’d only just moved in and had already spent money on furniture, moving and setting up our new home and thats in a situation where you goes those steps to save money for the months…
…Suddenly, we were dealing with a situation we had never planned for.

WHY WE’RE ASKING FOR HELP
The landlord situation has also become increasingly difficult to resolve.
We need proper legal representation to understand our rights, document what happened and deal with the damage appropriately - Because of the difficult communication we started to contact the government with our issues.
At the same time, our normal financial obligations haven’t disappeared.
We still have living and housing costs.
We need to replace essential things.
And we need enough breathing room to deal with the situation without everything collapsing financially at once.
That’s why we’re setting a first emergency goal of €2670 =^ 100.000 Thb
It isn’t the total value of what we’ve lost.
It’s simply the first amount that would make a meaningful difference right now.
The money will mainly help with:
Housing & essential living costs
Keeping ourselves stable while we deal with the situation and work out our next step.
⚖️ Legal representation
Getting professional help to properly handle the situation with the landlord and understand our options.
Essential replacements
Replacing some of the things that have actually been damaged or become unusable.
We’re not asking for luxury.
We’re not asking people to finance a perfect life.
We’re asking for a little breathing room after an unexpected situation put us in a very difficult position.
And we’re not just waiting for things to get better.
As soon as we realized how serious the situation was, AA immediately started looking for work to help us stay financially stable.
We’re genuinely grateful that she was able to find a position so quickly and can start soon.
We’re both doing what we can to move forward ourselves.
The crowdfunding isn’t meant to replace that effort. It’s there to help us handle the immediate costs we couldn’t have planned for — especially the damaged belongings, ongoing living expenses and the legal support we now need.

Why should a stranger donate?
Honestly?
You don’t have to.
We don’t expect anyone to feel obligated to give us money simply because something bad happened.
But maybe you’ve been in a situation where everything suddenly went wrong.
Maybe you’ve had to start over.
Maybe someone once helped you when you really needed it.
Or maybe you simply see two people who need a hand right now and think:
“I can spare €5.”
That’s enough.
You don’t need to know us.
You don’t need to believe in everything we do.
And you certainly don’t need to donate a large amount.
€5 matters.
€10 matters.
€20 matters.
Because crowdfunding isn’t about one person solving everything.
It’s about many people contributing a little.
600 people giving €5 would already reach our first goal.
And if you can’t donate at all, sharing this campaign with someone else still helps.

❤️ To our friends & family
If you’re reading this and you know us personally, thank you.
We know everyone has their own responsibilities, their own bills and their own problems.
There is no expectation that you have to donate.
If you can help, we’re incredibly grateful.
If you can’t, a message, a share, advice, a connection or simply checking in means something too.
And to everyone we’ve never met:
Thank you for even taking the time to read this.

There’s more we’re trying to build
The mold situation is the reason we’re asking for help now.
But it isn’t the whole story of who we are.
Together with my partner, I’ve been working for months on a much bigger vision.
I’ve spent thousands of hours exploring psychology, philosophy, human behavior, technology, creativity, symbolism and different systems of meaning.
I’m building a website and an app.
I want to create something people can actually use—not another platform that simply tells everyone what to think.
Something that encourages people to think for themselves.
And then there’s the music
Some people might hear my music and think:
“It’s just AI music.”
Fair enough.
From the outside, that’s easy to see.
But that’s only the surface.
The music is part of a much larger creative experiment involving storytelling, symbolism, creative coding, recurring patterns and ideas inspired by language coded in numbers.
⸻
The long-term dream
We want to build something physical too:
a self-sufficient permaculture farm in Northern Thailand.
A place where nature, food, creativity, music, technology, education and community can exist together.
A place to grow food.
A place to learn.
A place to create.
A place to disconnect from the noise for a while.
A place that could eventually give something back to other people.
But we want to be very clear:
We’re not asking you to fund that dream today.
Today, we’re asking for help with something that has already happened.
First we get through the emergency.
Then we rebuild.
Then we keep building.
⸻
What we want to give back
If you support us, you’re not buying a product.
You’re simply helping two people through a difficult situation.
But we’d like the relationship to be more human than that.
If you donate and want to contact me, you’re welcome to.
I’ll happily exchange ideas, answer questions, talk about music, philosophy, creativity, the project—or just have a normal conversation.
We’ll also continue sharing updates as we rebuild.
If you support us and would like to connect personally, you can contact me through. I’m happy to answer questions or simply have a conversation.
Not every receipt or every single euro, but the major developments, important expenses and milestones so supporters can see where the campaign is going.
⸻
One small contribution can be enough
Maybe you have €5.
Maybe €10.
Maybe €50.
Maybe you can’t give anything.
That’s okay.
Share it.
Send it to someone.
Or simply wish us well.
We didn’t expect to be asking for help.
We didn’t plan for this.
But sometimes you don’t get to choose the chapter you’re in.
You only get to choose what you do next.
Right now, we’re choosing to rebuild.
And if you decide to be part of that—even with something small—
thank you.
Whats serving in the beginning?
It gives us room to deal with the legal situation, cover essential costs and start replacing what was damaged.
If the campaign goes beyond the first goal, additional support will go toward further documented losses, replacement of essential belongings and the costs of rebuilding our living situation.
Maybe someday, something we build will help someone else who finds themselves unexpectedly needing a hand.
That’s the kind of circle we’d like to create.
Thank you for reading our story.
