My name is Ferdyandro Balentina, but many people know me as Andro. I am 25 years old and from Curaçao.

I grew up in the neighborhood of Marchena with my mother and sister. Life was not always easy, but my mother worked hard to support us. From a young age, I felt a strong responsibility to help my family and build a better future.

I have always worked wherever I could—small jobs, car washing, anything to move forward in life. My goal has always been simple: to create stability and support my family.

Recently, I accepted what seemed like a legitimate work opportunity in Cambodia. I made this decision with the hope of improving my situation and helping my family. Unfortunately, the situation turned out differently than expected, and I am now stranded far from home without the financial means or support system to return to Curaçao.

💰 Why I need $35,000

Returning home is not a simple flight. It is a complex international journey combined with legal, financial, and survival costs after being stranded abroad for a long period.

Because I have no local support, all expenses must be covered privately and immediately.

Breakdown of costs:

* ✈️ Emergency international flight (Cambodia → Curaçao): $2,500 – $5,000

* 🏨 Temporary accommodation & basic living costs: $3,000 – $5,000

* 📄 Travel documents, visa & administrative fees: $500 – $2,000

* ⚖️ Legal fees (lawyer / legal assistance): $5,000 – $8,000

* 💳 Outstanding debts accumulated during my time stranded abroad: $10,000

* 🚕 Local transport & logistical costs: $1,000 – $2,000

* ⚠️ Emergency buffer for unexpected travel complications: $2,000 – $3,000

💡 Total estimated goal: $35,000

This amount reflects the full reality of my situation: being stranded far from home, needing legal support, dealing with accumulated debts, and navigating expensive emergency international travel with multiple routes and uncertainties.

🙏 My promise

Every contribution will be used directly toward returning home safely and rebuilding my life. I will provide updates and transparency throughout the process.

All I want is the chance to return to Curaçao, be with my family again, and start over.

If you cannot donate, sharing this campaign would already help me greatly.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

God bless you.
