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.
There are some part of his post that may seem not believable to some but common, the guy isn't asking for direct donations. He just want some advises or recommendations, that's it. I think it is free for us to give it but if I have some good cash right now, id be willing to help the op with some amounts.
I like what you said there, to go to the closest community. Usually that is the best thing that we can do if we are in need of urgent help but I also like the personality of the op, he didn't do that but he wanted to stand up with his own feet. He is trying his best if what he can do to help his situation. He doesn't totally depend on other people.
