My name is Ralitsa Georgieva, and I have been living in Sofia, Bulgaria for the past 15 years. I always dreamed of having a home of my own. It wasn’t anything special, but it was mine — a place I worked hard for, a place where I felt safe.

I lived there with my daughter, my father, and my grandmother. They were my support, my strength, and the people who helped me raise my child. Sadly, I lost both of them — my father to cancer, and my grandmother simply to old age. Their loss changed everything.

Suddenly, I was alone. Every responsibility — my daughter, the home, the bills, the daily struggles — fell entirely on me. I have worked my whole life and never stopped, but after losing them I went through several financial crises. Now I am at a breaking point.

I am doing everything I can, but I cannot gather the large amount of money needed to keep my home. Institutions are pressuring me, and I am afraid of losing the one thing I have worked for my entire life.

I don’t want to lose my home. I dreamed of it for so many years. I want to give my daughter a stable and peaceful future, but right now I cannot manage this alone.

This is why I am reaching out to kind people around the world — to share my story, and to ask for help in saving our home. Any support, even the smallest amount, means more than I can express.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and helps in any way they can.
