Hi CT,
M33, Married, from a 3rd world country.
Right now, I honestly have no words to describe my situation. I have a wife and two kids who depend on me, and as a man, I feel guilty and like a failure because I’m unable to provide for them properly.
Until 2025, life was stable. I had a good job, a decent life, and I never borrowed money from anyone. I was working in the UAE before life completely changed for me, but after losing my job and facing financial problems, I had no option but to return back home.
In the same year, I also lost one of my sons due to illness. That pain alone broke me completely.
To survive, I borrowed around $15,600 from a person at 5% interest to start a small business, hoping things would improve. Unfortunately, the business failed within 4–5 months, and I couldn’t even manage to pay the interest. He took my bike and household items like the TV and fridge, yet I still owe nearly $11,450.
That’s when the real struggle began.
I used to work in a good clothing manufacturing company before all this happened. My children’s school fees, house rent, milk, groceries, and daily expenses come close to $460 every month, but my current income is nowhere near enough. I travel by local buses and auto-rickshaws just to save money.
For the past 6 months, I’ve been deeply depressed and mentally exhausted. My children’s school management keeps asking for pending dues, books, uniforms, and next year’s admission fees. My landlord pressures me constantly. Sometimes I feel like giving up on life, but then I look at my children and stop myself.
Somehow, I was still managing to survive through crypto. Whatever small amount I could make from it was helping me keep things going. But last night, I got fully rugged and lost the little capital I had left to start again.
I have no assets left to sell, no ornaments, nothing. Relatives and friends avoid talking to me because they fear I may ask for financial help. That feeling is heartbreaking.
I’m not asking for luxury or big money. I just need some genuine support and kindness for a few days until I can stand again. Even basic necessities like groceries, clothes, school dresses, or books for my kids would mean a lot right now.
Anyone who wishes to help can verify everything before helping. I’m only hoping for humanity and support from kind souls.
This morning, my children asked me for basic things, and I felt ashamed because I couldn’t provide them. What I earn daily around $8–10 is not enough for my family’s needs.
I don’t even know where to ask or whom to talk to anymore, so I’m posting here with hope.
