I don't even know how to start this…

And if I am being honest, I feel really nervous about writing this post. I am not good at asking for help because I feel that in doing so, I am burdening others unnecessarily.

But today I really need some help.

My family and I are going through some really harsh times…

My cousin, who is like a big brother to me, is in the hospital dealing with a very high and very real risk of thrombosis, along with battling a nasty infection on one of his legs. If his condition worsens, there’s a possibility that his leg would need to be amputated. This situation alone has taken a toll on my family's and my own health. The constant worrying and the expenses are stressful enough on their own accord, but now, with the global pandemic we are currently living in, it has only made it even more stressful since he is exposed to patients with the virus.

My mother and I are the only sources of income in a household comprised of 7 people and neither of us are even close to being able to take on such a taxing financial responsibility. As is true with many others out there, this has put us deeply in debt, one in which has had us struggling for 3 years now. It just has no end, so we resorted to asking for a loan from a company that at first seemed legitimate. It seemed that with this loan we could clear our debt problems and be in a better position to support our family. It seemed like this would be the answer to our financial instability.

Big mistake.

The loan lenders turned out to be frauds and we got scammed. The money they made us pay in advance was deliberately stolen from us, blowing a bigger hole in our collective debt, one that has made the struggle slowly start sinking us further down into a financial crisis. We haven't even been able to properly buy groceries in order to feed ourselves.

Long story short, this is why I am even daring to write this plea for help. I am well aware that I am not the only one struggling, especially in the present worldwide pandemic crisis and that there's people out there having it way worse than me… but I am writing this post because I cannot do this on my own anymore.

I need help. I am ashamed to be asking for help. I feel that my problems and mistakes are only burdens to others, but to be honest, I've never needed so badly to be helped before the way I need it now.

So here I am, just a girl like so many others, asking you for help. To please help in any way you can to help get myself and my family out of this tight spot by either donating if you’re able to or simply by rebloging this.

I need to gather around $2,000 dollars to be able to even out the massive debt my family and I are currently facing. I know this is no small amount, so I will really, utterly, and truly appreciate all the help I get.
