Building a new life from scratch.

Hi, My name is Elan Sultanik. On the tragic day of the 7th of October, one of the hundred of rockets fired into Israel, fell next to my building in Tel Aviv, creating damage, trauma, lot of uncertainty and a chain of events, that completely changed my life forever. Ever since I’ve been wandering with 3 suitcases for over 3 continents and 5 cities. Without a home, I’ve been sleeping from couch to couch, at friends and family places in Berlin, Miami, Lisbon and now Madrid. I spent 5 months with my mom in Miami where I couldn't work or settle for not having a proper visa. During 3 months I had regular and PTSD therapy to manage the trauma and the pain all of these months have caused, but my goal was always to feel better. 5 months in Miami under my mom’s care passed really fast and I couldn’t overstay my visa. That’s when I decided to move to Europe, first Lisbon, where I couldn’t find a place to live and everything was really expensive pushing me to decide to move to Madrid, where I’m starting a new life from scratch! I already found a little apartment where I want to build a home, but I lack 99% of what the apartment needs, like a mattress, a sofa and basic stuff. So after almost 9 months of such a difficult time and until I can start to work soon, I would appreciate any help from so many of you I know. Starting your life from 0 after losing almost everything is so hard and I hope I can count with you guys, to finally settle and have some peace of mind after so many difficult and challenging months in the past 9 months.

all the money, hopefully collected from here, well be used to help me to rebuild my life in Madrid and get the push I need to get out of this very difficult place. The money will be used to buy food, to get basic furniture, a mattress, basic stuff and to pay some bills, so that I can finally have a home and a normal life ❤️
