Life has a way of testing us in ways we never imagined. For some, the challenges are small bumps in the road; for others, they are mountains to climb. My name is Laura , and I am an asylum seeker living in Cyprus. I am also a mother, a student, and above all, a woman determined not to let my circumstances define my future.
Living on 379 Euros a Month: The Harsh Reality
Since arriving in Cyprus, my daughter and I have survived almost entirely on state aid. We receive 379 euros a month-a sum that barely covers the basics, let alone provides a decent life. Each day is a struggle: rent, food, school supplies, medical needs… all must be managed with a budget that disappears within the first week of the month.
It would be easy to give up, to accept a life of mere survival. But I refuse to make excuses. I don’t want my daughter to grow up believing that poverty is her destiny. I want to show her, through my actions, that we can always fight for a better life, no matter how difficult things may seem.
Student and Mother: Balancing Two Worlds
Alongside my responsibilities as a mother, I am also pursuing a degree in Business Administration. My studies are more than just a path to a diploma-they represent my ambition and my hope for a brighter future. I have always dreamed of applying the marketing and sales lessons I learn in school to real-world situations. But how do you do that when the odds seem stacked against you?
That’s when entrepreneurship started to call out to me. I realized that if I wanted to change my life, I had to step out of my comfort zone, explore new opportunities, and most importantly, believe in myself.
Discovering E-Commerce and Network Marketing
Since childhood, I have had a special connection to aloe vera. My grandmother used it for everything-healing wounds, soothing skin, boosting our health and my mother still used it for her body cream . It became a symbol of resilience and renewal for me. So when I came across an opportunity to join a multi-level network marketing business with LR Health & Beauty, a company specializing in aloe vera products, I felt an immediate connection.
LR is a global leader in aloe vera-based products, offering everything from skincare and nutritional supplements to immune-boosting drinks. Their commitment to quality, purity, and natural ingredients is backed by international certifications and rigorous testing. Their products are safe, effective, and suitable for the whole family.
But more than the products, it was the business opportunity that inspired me. Network marketing offers anyone-regardless of background-the chance to start their own business, build a network, and develop essential skills in sales, communication, and entrepreneurship. For someone like me, it’s a lifeline-a way to take control of my destiny.
Why Aloe Vera and LR? A Choice from the Heart
Aloe vera is more than just a plant; it’s a symbol of health, wellness, and natural beauty. LR’s products harness all these benefits, whether it’s hydrating and protecting the skin or strengthening the immune system with vitamin-rich drinks. The company’s commitment to quality and transparency gives me the confidence to recommend their products to others.
As a mother, I am especially careful about what I use for my daughter and myself. Knowing that LR offers gentle, safe products free from harmful ingredients is a huge relief. It’s also empowering to help other families discover natural solutions for their health and well-being.
Entrepreneurship as a Path to Independence
Joining LR isn’t just about making money. It’s about reclaiming my independence, moving beyond social assistance, and regaining my dignity. It’s a chance to put my marketing knowledge into practice, to develop new skills, and to build something of my own.
Network marketing allows me to work on my terms, balancing my roles as a mother, student, and entrepreneur. I set my own goals, manage my own time, and measure my progress. Every sale, every new customer, every positive review is a small victory-a step away from poverty and towards a better future.
Breaking Barriers: Refusing to Be Defined by My Environment
Being an asylum seeker often means feeling invisible, limited by bureaucracy, language barriers, and social isolation. But I refuse to let my environment or my challenges hold me back. I want to prove that success is possible, even when you start with nothing, in a foreign country, with limited resources.
Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for integration. It helps build connections, share values, and create a sense of community. By sharing the benefits of aloe vera and LR, I meet people from all walks of life, learn new things every day, and grow as a person.
Finding Confidence and Independence
This journey is not without its challenges. There are moments of doubt, exhaustion, and frustration. But every step forward-no matter how small-reminds me why I chose this path. I want to give my daughter a better future, to show her that courage, perseverance, and determination always pay off.
My dream is to become the entrepreneur I’ve always wanted to be. To build a thriving business, to mentor other women, and to inspire anyone who is struggling to find their way. I want to prove that hardship can be transformed into opportunity, fear into hope, and mere survival into a fulfilling life.
