HELP WITH OVERCOMING FINANCIAL CRISIS AND START OVER

Hello everyone.

First of all, I want to say that I’m here because this is my last chance to live life again like everyone else.

My name is Alex, I’m 29 years old, and I’m going through a very hard time in life where I need help more than ever before.

It’s hard for me to be here and write these words, but because of the situation I’m in, I had no choice.

I believe that those of you reading this will understand the message or the story of my life over the past few years.

I made a very big mistake when I believed I could make money through gambling, only to realize the truth after losing nearly €10,000.

€2,000 was money borrowed for household needs — things no one else could cover but me — because I live only with my grandfather, who is 86 years old. Everything is on my shoulders.

The other €4,300 was borrowed from close friends and people who were there for me when I needed help the most.

At work, my salary hasn’t increased. They told me I have to wait.

I wanted to change jobs, but with so many expenses, it’s risky, especially without any guarantee of better pay.

I’m alone. I have no one.

I can’t ask for help from relatives anymore, because I already owe almost every one of them money.

As of today, I owe €16,600 in total – €12,300 in loans and €4,300 to close friends and others who supported me.

I’m not a beggar. I never thought I’d end up like this — thinking about how to turn things around.

Even though I work and earn €800 a month, I can’t pay everything and cover daily expenses.

Today, May 13th, 2025 at 14:39, I feel like I can’t do anything anymore.

My entire paycheck is going towards utilities, and I can’t even make my loan payments.

There’s much more to say about how I ended up in this situation, but these are the main reasons that brought me to write this message, hoping that you, people who may have seen or gone through similar things, will understand.

Please let me ask: would you be willing to lend me a helping hand?

Because I truly feel like I’ve lost my will to live.

I want to regain the freedom to live, to dream, to build a future, to love this life.

There’s nothing else I can think about but this. I can’t sleep at night, haunted by the worst-case scenarios of where this situation might lead.

I’m terrified that I’ll be taken to court for unpaid debts, and this fear isolates me completely — I no longer feel present among people, only consumed by the weight of this problem.

So please, to those reading this: I beg you, don’t make the same mistake I did.

Don’t even try gambling — once you do, there’s a real chance you’ll fall into its trap like I did.

Be cautious. Take care of yourselves. I’m sending you all my love.

Thank you for reading this far. I send you a warm embrace.

I will keep you updated with any changes as I manage to collect even a small amount to cover a part of my debts.

I believe there are kind-hearted people who will understand and help me.

I truly believe, from the bottom of my heart, that I’m in the right place — where someone might help me get a second chance to love this life.

I will attach photos of all my active loans as proof , that I’m not here to scam anyone.
