Story

<p "="">Concepción, Chile.

February 24, 2026.

<p "="">To all potential donators:<p "="">I hope this little letter might not be too shocking. I am writing to you at a moment of great reflection and clarity in my life. Since a very young age, at 14, I have struggled with a chronic affective disorder that has marked my existence and journey through this world. Over these years, I have tried to overcome my difficulties with all my strength, seeking help and trying to build a life full of purpose and willing despite the obstacles, but I think it might not be posible.<p "="">At my current age of 21 years old, I have come to the conclusion that living this life is no longer viable for me. My depressive symptoms and other mental health struggles have reached a point where life feels unbearable. Since my last episode in July '25, which resulted in the abandonment of my university studies and a suicide attempt, I have tried to reintegrate into society, but job opportunities have been scarce and poorly paid. I was unable to develop useful skills for life or work during my youth, and I face an uncertain future where marginalization and the streets seem to be my destiny.

My family is exhausted by my erratic and unstable behavior, and the consequences of my failures. We are a humble family in a country where mental health and funeral services are extremely expensive, adding an additional burden to my situation. Therefore, I have thought that the only control I can take over my destiny is to ensure a dignified death, hoping it will be a consolation for a poorly lived and wasted life in which I never could choose or follow an optimal path.

I ask for your help to cover the expenses of my funeral, including the casket and services. Any contribution you can make will be of great help to my family, who have already endured too much with me. My desire is to relieve them of this burden and ensure they have what they need to face this difficult moment, so no one else has to deal with anything more.

I appreciate your understanding and support in advance, even if this story sounds bizarre. I am well aware that anyone would be astonished by such an idea or might have doubts about it. If you are intrigued and interested in becoming my sponsor, I can provide you with more details about my situation, the life I have led, and the donation methods, as well as agree on guarantees that you will be funding my death and nothing more than that. I look forward to your response and wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Ignacia Dolores Alvarado Venegas.
