This is incredibly hard for me to do, but I’m asking for help.

I never imagined I’d be in this position—sharing something so personal—but I’m reaching out with honesty and humility because I truly need support.

Yesterday, I was the victim of a devastating scam. Today, I woke up to find both of my bank accounts completely emptied. All of my money—gone. The emergency fund I had carefully set aside to ensure my daughters and I were okay, to cover bills and unexpected needs—completely vanished.

I’m a single mom of three daughters, originally from Canada, who relocated to Costa Rica on April 16th, 2021. I’ve built a life here from the ground up—running a property management and consulting business, and doing everything I can to give my girls a stable, meaningful life rooted in nature and community.

If you’re able to give anything—no matter how small—it would truly help. It will allow me to stabilize our situation, keep food on the table, and begin to recover. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this. Every bit of support means more than I can express.

Thank you for reading this, for caring, and for standing with us.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Jules
