I never thought I’d be writing something like this, but I honestly don’t know what to do.

I got trapped in online lending apps and the debt just kept snowballing. At first I thought I could manage it, but the interest, penalties, and constant pressure completely buried me financially.

Because of this, I haven’t been able to pay our rent for 3 months. Every peso I get goes to debt payments, diapers, milk, food, and basic needs for my baby.

Now we’re at risk of becoming homeless very soon.

What scares me the most isn’t even me—it’s my son (8 months old) We live in the Philippines, and the heat here is unbearable. I’m terrified of what will happen to him if we lose our place and have nowhere safe to stay.

Before anyone asks, no, I can’t ask help from my family. We’re not on good terms, and that door is basically closed for me.

I know I made bad financial decisions, and I live with that every day. I’m not here to avoid accountability. I’m just exhausted, scared, and trying to keep my child safe.

If anyone here has been through debt from online lending apps, housing insecurity, or knows any resources in the Philippines, I would really appreciate advice.

Please be kind. I’m already trying my best to survive this.

Hi. I'll be honest here, I'm a first time father who is struggling to make ends meet. I was fallen into a online lending app scam and is now trying to get out of that situation.

I was just trying if i can get a loan from here for my rent. I will pay it back as soon as I get my mid year bonus on May 15th. Thank you all in advance!

I survived

Just last night, i am 100% certain that I'm gonna take my own life. Thanks for all the kind comments from my other subreddit that I have decided I need to stay a little bit longer. For my son. I have to seek help for him. This life isn't mine anymore, it's also my son's. I thought while I'm alive, I'm gonna do whatever to survive. I need to.

I reached out to a doctor and got a prescription, went to a church to confessed. I need to heal my mind. I opened up my gogetfunding campaign again too to try and ask for help for us to escape this situation we are trapped in.

I almost left my son behind because of all of these problems. I was selfish.

I know I am going to hell and I will try to use this time while I'm on earth to try and ask help from you my fellow Christians, if it's not much of a bother, can you view my gogetfunding campaign and maybe share it with your family. Thank you and God bless you.
