Hello everyone<3
This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I never thought I’d be in this place, but here I am – reaching out for help with a heart full of regret and hope.
I'm a wife and mother from the UK who made a terrible mistake as a beginner in the world of Forex trading. I was drawn in by the polished, glamorous world shown on social media – where success seems instant and effortless. But the truth behind those screens is far more painful.
I lost everything. All my savings, my emergency fund, and more. I thought I could recover my losses quickly, but it only pushed me deeper into financial ruin. I didn’t truly understand the risks, and I let desperation and false hope guide my decisions. Now I’m left with overwhelming debt and no way to pay it off quickly.
What hurts even more is that my family has no idea. Every day I fight a silent battle with anxiety, depression, and the crushing weight of shame. I’ve sold everything I could from my home just to make ends meet. I barely sleep. And yet, I wake up each day and tell myself not to give up.
I know this was my responsibility. I take full accountability. I made a mistake – one that I’ll never repeat for the rest of my life. But I’m asking now, from the deepest place in my heart: please help me.
My most urgent need is to pay off my credit card, which carries the highest pressure. The minimum monthly payment is around £220 and I still have £5,000 left to pay off on my credit card. If I can just get through this one part of my debt, I can finally breathe and start rebuilding.
I’m not asking for large amounts – even the smallest donation would mean the world to me. £2, £5, £10 – whatever you can spare. I believe in people. I believe in kindness. And I believe in karma – that good things come back to those who help others. I’ve always been the one to support fundraisers and help others.
Whenever someone needed a helping hand, I was the first to reach out without hesitation, without expecting anything in return.
If anyone needs proof of my story, I can provide statements from my Broker's statements to show the of the losses. I’ve learned the hardest way possible, and I will never allow myself to fall into this again. I’ve tried to find an extra job to support myself, but nothing fits the hours I’m available to work after my regular shifts. I work Monday to Friday, and I keep searching, hoping something will come up.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And if you can’t donate, please just share this with someone who might.
Kind Regards
Agnes
