Help Us Rebuild After Losing Everything in Bilbao

Hi, I’m Anna, and I never thought I’d be writing something like this.

Last night, while travelling in Spain, our car was broken into in Bilbao and everything was stolen—from passports, laptops, clothing, money, bank cards, work tools & very rare car tuning equipment, to irreplaceable personal items. Roughly £100,000 in losses. We were left with only our phones and each other.

We were meant to travel to the UK the next morning by ferry, but my partner’s passport was stolen, so we missed the ferry and had to go to the police and travel back to Madrid to the consulate. We’re now stranded in Bilbao.

We’ve reported everything to the police and are doing everything we can to replace Peter’s passport and access emergency support. But the cost of everything lost, transport, rebooking the ferry in high season and recovering even a small portion of what we had is unbelievably overwhelming.

Peter spent years building his car tuning business, all his equipment was incredibly expensive and it’s all gone. He now cannot carry out any of his work. The cost to replace is unimaginable, not only the equipment itself but an entire database he has built from scratch with pen drives etc.

If you feel called to help—even £5 makes a difference—we would be deeply grateful. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with someone who might.

Thank you for reading this and for any support you can offer to help us rebuild.

With love and hope,

Anna & Peter
