Need help with debt after domestic violence - kate234823 - 11-10-2019
I survived domestic violence to the extent I had to seek help from the police. Then I basically found myself on the street, asking friends to crash on their couch. This happened during the time I took a gap year from work, hoping to go back to school. At first I had some savings but I didn’t anticipate that I spend them on recovering from the violence accident and seeking new housing.
My current job only helps me to pay basic bills.
I realize that if I was in a better emotional state, I’d have found a better job with stable income sooner. Or at least could have found any kind of a side job to get any kind of money. But I am very exhausted with the family issues I went through during the past year, and struggling with depression.
I’m doing my best to earn additional income, but still can’t manage my debt myself and already missed a few monthly payments.
The amount I owe is around 6,000 $:
5,000 on the credit card + 1,000 I owe to my friends and need to return to them ASAP.
Half of this debt went for the school application fees (TOEFL, GRE, fees for universities) and urgent dental bills I had to cover. Another half went for paying for groceries and some basic daily expenses that helped me to hang in there before I found a job.
I’ll appreciate any help.
I also promise to return you the money you give me after I get back on my feet.
