Help Balint & his dog Coco to find a safe place to stay

Note from the organizer: I'm a friend of Balint’s, and I’ve created this page on his behalf. He’s currently homeless in Vienna and doesn’t have access to a bank account. I’ll be sending all donations to him via Western Union, to ensure that he and his dog Coco get the help they need as quickly and safely as possible — Thank you for your kindness and support & read his story below

Hello, my name is Balint Olah,

I’m originally from Hungary, and I’ve faced many challenges that have led me to this difficult place in life. As a Roma and a gay man, finding acceptance and stability has never been easy. Sadly, I’ve had to leave my home country in search of safety, dignity, and a chance to start over.

Right now, I’m homeless in Vienna Austria. Life on the streets is hard enough — but even more so when you carry the weight of being different in a society that often doesn't understand or accept you. On top of everything, I also have serious health issues — I need insulin, making life on the streets even more dangerous and difficult to manage.

But there is one bright light in my life — my beautiful French bulldog, Coco. He’s not just a pet; he’s my best friend, my family, and my reason to keep going. He gives me love when the world feels cold, and I love him with all my heart.

Our situation is urgent. Life on the streets is exhausting. We want to leave because here in Vienna, we are facing constant struggle and even violence, and it’s no longer safe or sustainable for us.

But we have a new hope:

We dream of building a small, mobile home — a bicycle camper that we can live in and take with us. A simple, weatherproof shelter that would give us protection, dignity, and the freedom to move safely — whether it’s in Vienna or on the way to a better future in France.

A bicycle camper means no more sleeping outside in the dirt. It means security for Coco and me. It means we could finally have a tiny place to call our own.

We’re asking for your help to make this possible.

Your donations will go directly toward building or buying a lightweight, towable camper — something we can attach to a bike and use as a tiny home. It would change everything for us.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to a life with shelter, safety, and hope. Thank you for standing with us — for believing that everyone deserves a place to rest their head.

With all our love and gratitude,

Balint & Coco ❤️
