Is unfortunate to hear the situation you are currently in but just that is some how difficult for people to believe your story and assist you just because so many people have use this approach as a lucrative business and those with good heart are no longer ready to assist any more.
It will nice if you could talk to people within your community for assistance which I believe is the best way for now in my opinion. If you don't have a skill try as much to learn one so that you will be able render service to people and get paid in return.
