Racing Against Time to Save Our House

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Marco, and today I'm reaching out for help in a situation that has turned our lives upside down. My family and I are facing the very real possibility of losing our home, a place that means everything to us.

For the last 2 years, our home has been our sanctuary, a place of joy, hope, and countless memories. Recently, we've been hit with a devastating financial crisis. In March 2023, upon transferring our savings to our bank account, the Tax Authority seized these funds due to an outstanding debt of €23,000. This debt originated from a business I had opened years ago, which, despite never being active, somehow accumulated this debt. Instantly, our life savings were wiped out, leaving us with just €763 to survive and derailing our plans to start an Olive Oil business for our livelihood."

This seizure has not just impacted our financial stability, but it has emotionally and mentally drained us. Our home, where we dreamed of nurturing our Olive Oil business and building a future, is now at risk. We now have until January 7, 2024, to raise €26,000 to prevent losing our House.

We are urgently requesting your help. The funds raised will be used to pay off the immediate debts that are putting our home at risk. Your support would offer us a lifeline to reclaim our stability and pursue the modest dream of running our Olive Oil business.

Your donation, big or small, is not just financial aid; it’s a beacon of hope. It’s about community and compassion in times of dire need. It’s about helping a family hold onto their home and their dreams.

We understand these are challenging times for everyone, and any form of support - whether it's a donation, sharing our story, or even a word of encouragement, means the world to us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity.

Gratefully,
Marco, Grace, Victoria and Veyron
