A Real Story: A Family, A Hope
My name is Hernán, I am 42 years old, from Argentina, a husband and a father.
Like many parents around the world, my greatest dream has always been to give my children a home of their own: a safe place where they can grow with dignity and hope.
For almost two decades, my wife and I saved dollar by dollar, peso by peso. We gave up trips, luxuries, and many comforts, just to one day be able to say: “This is our home.”
In 2020, we managed to gather USD 70,000. It was the fruit of years of sacrifice. Still, it was not enough to buy a house for our family of four. Then, trusting what seemed like a legitimate international opportunity, we decided to invest in a company called Omega Pro. They promised to multiply our savings and secure our future.
A year later, we added another USD 30,000, from my wife’s severance after losing her job. The total: USD 100,000.
That money represented our dreams. It represented our future.
But we lost everything.
The company disappeared. And with it, our hope.
My Silent Struggle
Since then, I have lived with the guilt and pain of that decision. My wife was always more cautious, and it still hurts me to know I convinced her. My family still doesn’t know the truth. I don’t have the courage to tell my children that the home we dreamed of is gone.
I have spent endless nights unable to sleep, fighting against dark thoughts. At times, I felt like giving up. But every time I stood near that edge, I remembered my children’s faces, my wife’s smile… and I chose to resist one more day.
I am not strong on my own. I am strong because I love them.
Why I Am Here
I am not asking for pity. I am not asking for charity in the sense of handouts.
I am asking for an opportunity — a chance to rebuild, to repair what was lost, to one day look my family in the eyes and tell them: “We will be okay.”
If you have read my story this far, thank you.
Thank you for your time, your empathy, and your heart.
If you can help, even with a small amount, it will mean the world to us.
Your support will be a seed of hope that allows us to rise again.
✨ In Islam, it is said that charity (sadaqah) never decreases wealth, but rather multiplies it with blessings.
Though I am not Muslim, I deeply believe in that universal truth of kindness.
With your help, I hope to transform this story of loss into a story of hope.
🙏 Thank you for reading. Thank you for your generosity.
