A Filipino family needing assistance.... |

Just to give you an idea of who I am, I was adopted and raised by my single parent mom and became an undergraduate with 2 years of college. Even though I did not finish college, I was raised by my mom to be a morally upright individual. I never did anyone wrong or brought other people harm starting from high school until now, although I must admit that I was a very rowdy kid growing up and was diagnosed with ADHD which my kids also unfortunately inherited. I am a father of three in the Philippines and one of the biggest reason why I posted on this website is because I feel that it's about time for me receive some good this time around. I did not believe in the saying that "nice guys finish last" initially, but I am a living proof of it. All my life people have taken advantage of my kindness, generosity and character.
I am already above 35 years old still with a minimum wage job in the Philippines, without savings, living from paycheck to paycheck, and without any property of value under my name. My eldest just entered college, my second in Junior Highschool and my youngest who has the worst ADHD among the three will start going to special education classes with other special kids this year. I was never this broke before and even lent money to people who I taught are my friends and even to people in my families second-generation which ended up with me being ghosted. Just recently we were forced to ask for money for the down payment of the tuition fees because I lost work when Covid happened and was not able to prepare money in advance. My partner was able to find some work from home opportunities that barely gives her enough time to do anything else with a bare minimum salary which made me end up to be a house-husband to take care of the house chores and take care of the kids. We are 6 months behind in rent, still has 50% of the previous school year tuition fees as balance and was always short monthly. It was a time where me and my partners' will were tested and is still being tested until now. Asking for assistance from other people on the internet is honestly something that I just thought about quite recently because when we tried to reach out to people who we thought are our friends and family, it's either we get the cold shoulder or they give you unreasonable conditions in exchange for their help. I just recently got a rank and file job which I hope would let us stay afloat for the time being. You may think I am irresponsible for having kids and ended up being this way and I can honestly say that I can't blame you, but we were not always like this. We live in a cruel world and I don't want my kids to experience what I am going through right now.
If you have read this far I would like to thank you for your patience and your valuable time. I want to reassure you that everything that is stated here is true or my soul be damned. I can still say a lot of things that have happened in my life that made me who I am or what my family has been through, but I decided it is no longer needed. This might turn into a novel if I wrote everything. I believe in the "Pay it forward" principle and I am hopeful that in time my standing would change. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I plan to post an update on this thread in the future once my family's situation gets better and eventually stop asking for assistance. Thank you again.

Hello and thank you for being here. Allow me to share my story with you.
So a few years ago I was a much better position. I had a good job, made a decent amount of money, lived a relatively happy life surrounded by a loving family and friends.
Then the company I worked for had to restructure and my services were no longer required. A few months later, I was blessed with a new job. Good money and benefits. 18 months later, they too went through a retrenchment process and again, I had to pack my stuff and leave. So I decided to start my own business.
Everything went well, I didnt make a crazy amount of money, but at least I wouldn't retrench myself and at least all the effort I put into the business was to build my own business.
And then Covid19 arrived.
Apart from the fact that I was unable to operate for a while, everything else changed. The way people did business changed. I relied a lot on the support of schools and corporate companies hosting events, but schools were closed, no sporting or other events took place and corporate companies didn't do their usual annual events. Many of my customers cut down on their marketing budget to survive. Two of my biggest clients had to close down completely. Whatever cash reserves I had was drained in no time.
Now here we are, post-Covid and it's a struggle to get back up again. I had to load money from family members but I haven't been able to repay it, leaving me in a difficult position because we're not the "happy family" that we once was. My wife and kids recently celebrated their birthdays and I had to make up some excuses as to why they didn't get any gifts. My friends want to go out for coffee, but I keep making excuses why I cant join them, because I'm too shy to tell them that I cant afford to pay for my own coffee.
I've tried so many things till now. I tried all these things on Fiverr, Upwork, User Testing, Print on Demand, Surveys, Affiliate Marketing and a million other stuff, but nothing is as simple as they make it seem to be. And nothing worked for me so far.
The accounting firm that used to take care of my business affairs handed me over to a collection company for outstanding fees. I've been paying them religiously for almost 2 years now, but because of the collection company also adding fees and interest, I actually owe more now than what I owed in the first place. I just feel like no matter what I try, I lose.
I'm at my whit's end. I don't know what to do. How do I look my kids in the eye and tell them that their dad, their superhero, is flat broke and unable to provide for them. The only reason why we have some food on our table is because of my wife's job. Now what kind of man,what kind of husband has to rely on the income of his wife? It's embarrassing.
So this is really my last resort. I sincerely hope that I can get out of this ever deepening financial hole with your help. Thank you for allowing me to share my story.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this,
Between losing hours at work,very high stress levels and making very unsmart financial decisions I have come to the last place I thought I would be to ask for monetary help. I need 1000 to cover this months rent(due today) and other bills that need to be paid soon to avoid losing service. I have tried just about everything else and it has failed, I have nowhere else to turn to.
Please if anyone is able to help I will be forever appreciate it.
