You need to trust in Jehovah and pray daily for the inner resources -- courage, creativity, even talents you didn't know you possessed in
finding a new career direction -- to get you through this. Also be aware that you open
yourself to ridicule when posting in this manner. If
you're a Witness then you should let us know, because this board is focused on discussions pertaining to Jehovah's Witnesses.
A better approach is to introduce yourself, state
whether you're a baptized Witness, and what lead to your financial plight. Ask for
advice on how one in deep debt maintains their place to live and food on the table; if anyone has experienced bankruptcy; and if anyone
knows of
professionals in your area who would donate their services for credit counseling, bankruptcy, or finding you a place to live?
Consider relocation to a more prosperous area. Perhaps someone who emails you will offer to provide you a job
and interim place to
stay on relocation?
Try to maintain professionalism in your search for work and interim options to sustain yourself. Ask for Jehovah's guidance, direction,
and active force to bring your life into
equilibrium.
We're all winners who sustain temporary losses. Try to come across with this self-confidence, rather than presenting yourself in a
negative light. Finally, if you really are willing to accept money from strangers,
something I advise against if at all possible, then be
willing to give them your real identity and ability to verify you are in real trouble. I also highly recommend you verify their identity so as
not to become the victim of fraud
or exploitation by those who would perpetrate crimes against the weak or downtrodden.
Above all, keep asking Jehovah to direct help in your direction.
