[__ Prayer __] I am in a financial nightmare

[AngelsAmongstUs]

Hi, guys. Sorry it's been awhile, but things have been super awfully busy and now I'm absolutely at my wits' end and I need help. I need prayer, but I also need help financially. I know I'm just a random stranger online, but I'm desperate and panicky right now. I do have a job, but it's proving inadequate to make ends meet. I don't do drugs (I just take my prescribed medication for depression) or drink. I don't think I spend unnecessarily, but I obviously stink at handling money.

My grandparents are getting older and weaker. We pay an extra person to come in daily to help wash and clothe and feed my grandmother, who is an Alzheimers sufferer. I work in the mornings; I go shopping and errand-running for the family when needed in the afternoon, then I take care of things at night such as getting my grandmother fed and into bed.

I'm from South-Africa and my income isn't much. Compared to, say, a struggling person in America, the American is still 10x more financially stable than I am. $1 = approximately R13. I don't know what else to do, I am freaking out so bad right now. Once I'm blacklisted and in trouble with the banks and so on, I'm done for. Thank the good Lord I've made progress mentally speaking, because I'm able to work and get on with life, but right now I'm scared I'm going to regress. I already have a loan that is pending paying off.

I do have a Paypal account and I can Skype if you need to check I'm a real person. Please, please, PLEASE send me a PM if you're able to help. I could never pay you back or get back my dignity for that matter, but right now I'm absolutely floored and terrified.

Where do you live now? And what is $1 = approx. R13?

South African money.

If you have ever been you would understand instantly.

The prejudice and bigotry against blacks there is something else. At times it's warranted but in others it is just hate for "false class distinction".

The black churches there are often pathetic...Often just an area in the back storeroom of a "quickie market" sized grocery store. However the white churches are often cathedrals that are breathtakingly beautiful and elaborate. American blacks that visit there are not discriminated against because they are American...And as soon as it's discovered that they are American on holiday everyone breathes easier.


Soooo...Have I painted a clear enough picture for you to understand the issues?

I'm so sorry. I can't do much to help you financially, but I'll pray, definitely.

I'm a White South-African, but you are right about many things. There are a lot of struggling people here from all races, though.

I live in central South-Africa. One dollar equals approximately thirteen rand, South-African currency.
