HELP US ON OUR WAY TO OUR APARTMENT

Hello!

We are Matjaž and Teja and we are 22 years old college students from Slovenia. Currently we are living in dormitory which costs 220€ for both of us. Because of Covid-19 we lost our jobs - we both worked in catering business. Since we are not working at the moment, and it doesn't look like we will go back to work soon, we spend our stipend (230€ total) on dormitory rent and we don't have any savings left because we spent them on food and other expenses during covid lockdown.

We have an option to furnish one floor of a house. It has electricity and water, nothing else. First we have to build plaster ceilings, because now it is basically an attic. We have to buy all of the floors, paint all of the walls, buy furniture for living room, kitchen elements and bathroom fittings. Also we would need to buy a bed and a closet for a bedroom. We minimized expenses as much as we could - we looked for the cheapest furniture etc., but the final price is still quite big and there is no chance we can save for it. In approximately one year we will graduate from college and then we are on our own, because we won't be able to use the dormitory apartment anymore.

Every euro counts and we will forever be thankful for your help.
