Young couple trying to save for our first forever home after a difficult few years ❤️
Hi everyone,
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this, but here goes.
I'm a 25-year-old educator from Malta, and for a long time I genuinely believed I'd spend my life alone. Then I met the love of my life online. After months of long-distance calls, he made the huge decision to leave his home in the US and move across the world so we could build a life together.
The last couple of years haven't been easy.
We escaped a difficult and unhealthy home situation and have been renting ever since. Like many young couples, nearly half of what we earn goes towards rent, making it incredibly hard to save for a deposit on our own home.
Last year we also experienced the heartbreak of losing our first baby through miscarriage. It was one of the hardest moments of our lives.
Then, one week before our due date, something unexpected happened. We heard tiny cries coming from our car engine and found a little orange kitten trapped inside. We named him Tiger, and he quickly became part of our little family. He brought laughter back into our home when we needed it most.
Our dream isn't a luxury house or anything extravagant. We simply want a safe place to call our own—a home where we can build happy memories, welcome future children one day, and finally feel settled.
If anyone would like to help, even the smallest donation or simply sharing our fundraiser means more than you know. If you're unable to donate, thank you for taking the time to read our story.

Thank you for believing in our little family.
