Sometimes, life hits you all at once. 🌊

My name is Sanzhar, and I’m writing this because I’ve reached a point where I need to ask for a helping hand to get my life back on track. For a long time, I tried to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders alone, but the burden has become too heavy.

The last few years have been a series of unimaginable challenges. After a painful divorce, I found myself spiraling into a deep depression. At the same time, I lost my job. As a father, my first priority was always my family—making sure my son was cared for and that I could meet my alimony obligations. Without a steady income, I turned to loans just to survive, to keep a roof over our heads, and to ensure my child didn't feel the weight of my struggles.

In my desperation to fix things quickly, I made mistakes. I fell victim to a financial scam and lent money to people I trusted who never paid me back. 📉

The Hard Truth & My Efforts 💪

I have recently found a stable job, and I am incredibly grateful for it. However, my salary only covers the bare essentials: alimony, basic needs for my family, and a small fraction of the debt. Most evenings, I am out driving a taxi late into the night 🚕. Since I don't own a car and have to rent one, the profit is small, but I keep going because I refuse to give up.

Currently, I feel like I'm treading water—every time I take a step forward, an unexpected expense or interest payment pulls me back. On my own, it will take at least two years of working day and night to clear this. With your help, I could settle these obligations in just a month or two. ⏳

Why I’m asking for help 🙏

I’m facing a total debt of $17,000. I don’t need a penny more than what I owe. I am healthy and capable, but this financial weight is a heavy anchor pulling me down. My biggest dream is to clear this slate so I can focus on being the father my son deserves—present, stable, and happy. 👨‍👦
