My name is Bunga, and I am a mother of six children. For years I have been living in a very controlled environment with a partner who has strong narcissistic behavior. I cannot let him notice—even in the smallest way—that I am trying to become independent. I must always appear as if everything is normal and that I am staying, because any subtle sign of change could create a dangerous situation for me and my children. I've been trying to exit this situation since many many years ago without any good results. I have sent countless emails and request for help but have no results.

All government benefits, including Kindergeld and Child Supplement, currently go directly into his bank account. I have no safe way to change this. The authorities require his signature to switch the account, and I cannot fake it, and I cannot ask him without putting myself at risk. I also cannot involve the police. I must navigate everything silently and securely.

Because of this situation, I have no access to my own financial support. I am raising six children alone during the week, including a newborn. I have no income. The house costs 2,000€ per month, and I am responsible for food, school needs, transportation, baby essentials, and daily survival—with no financial control and no safe way to ask.

What I need most now is stability:

a safe home for at least one year, where my children and I can live peacefully while I quietly rebuild our lives.

Your support helps us cover rent, relocation costs, food, school materials, and basic needs while I secure the future for my children in the safest way possible.

Thank you for helping us during this extremely fragile time.
