BACKGROUND

Maria was born in Lviv, Ukraine, but never felt truly at home there. At 20, fueled by dreams of a better life, she stole her parents' savings and fled to Finland. She believed Finland would be her salvation—a land of quiet introverts, cold weather, and peace.

She fought for five years to build a life there, but slowly realized she was just as much a stranger in Finland as she had been at home. The world didn't want her to be happy. She was not special. She was just another forgotten soul who would disappear without a trace.

The last four years (ages 25–29) have been consumed by clinical depression. Nostalgia poisons her every waking moment—memories of her parents' kindness, her father bringing her Americana pizza in bed, the streets of Lviv, her cat who understood her but wasn't enough to keep her from running away.

She has no formal education beyond 9 years of school, trapping her in dead-end jobs with no hope of advancement. Every month she ends at zero—no savings, no safety net.
