Our situation has changed
A month and a half ago, we managed to buy a big old house in Spain. Thanks to the support, trust, and encouragement we received, the purchase itself is now complete. For that, we are deeply grateful.
Shortly after the purchase, however, we discovered serious problems that could not have been foreseen.
The house has no water connection, the roof leaks in two places, and the electrical system is old and unsafe. These are not cosmetic issues — without addressing them, the house is simply not habitable.
At this point, we have no remaining financial reserves, and the cost of making the house minimally livable is beyond what we can manage on our own.
What we urgently need help with
We are seeking to raise approximately €20,000 to cover:
connecting the house to water,
repairing the leaking roof,
renewing the basic electrical installation,
purchasing only essential items so the house can be safely lived in.
In addition, we must pay a property transfer tax of €7,000. Although Viktorie is a resident of Spain, the house was purchased solely by one of us, who is a Czech citizen and not a Spanish resident. For this reason, we were denied a payment plan, and the full amount must be paid at once.
A difficult personal chapter
During this period, our family was also affected by loss. We lost our mother, which led us to step back for several months to grieve and regain stability.
One of us is also living with severe PTSD, which currently makes it very difficult to leave the house or function in unstable conditions. Having a safe and functioning home is not a luxury for us — it is essential.
Why this house matters beyond us
This house was never meant to serve only one family.
Our long-term vision is to create a safe, cultural, and creative space:
a place for workshops, artist residencies, and shared creation,
a welcoming environment for people seeking a new beginning in Spain,
temporary accommodation for those relocating and needing time to settle,
a project based on cooperation, including exchanges of help with renovation in return for housing.
We are not asking to renovate the entire house. We are asking for help with the absolute basics, so we can move in, stabilize, and begin opening the space to others.
Any contribution — no matter how small — brings us closer to making the house livable and safe.
If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign is already a huge support.
With your help, we can transform this difficult moment into the foundation of a place that offers safety, creativity, and community to many.
From the depths of our hearts, thank you for reading our story and for offering any support you can.
