Lost job and lots of debt
Story
I am a 38-year-old father with 1 wife and 3 children. I have just been laid off from my job. The reason is employee reduction. Because my workplace is going bankrupt. There are still many debts that I have not had time to pay off, my children’s school fees are not cheap, and for daily food I am really struggling. Because I have no money at all. I am an Indonesian.
My first child is a 14-year-old girl who is still in junior high school and has a lot of expenses for her school. My second child is also a girl, 8 years old, still in elementary school. Not so much money is spent on her. And the last one is still a 2-year-old baby, now this is what makes me dizzy. I need formula milk and diapers for him. Oh my God, it makes me dizzy.
I have a lot of debts at the bank (BRI). Because my younger sibling is addicted to online gambling and owes a lot of money to his friends. So because he couldn’t pay it. His friends asked his family to pay it off. At that time I was annoyed and angry with him, but what can I do? He is still my younger sibling and I still have to help him. By pawning my house certificate to the bank (BRI) for 50 million rupiah and must be paid 2 million rupiah every month. For 3 years. For now I have paid it for 6 months. I don’t know how the remaining 30 months will be.
But the reality is that after the money from the bank was disbursed and I gave the money to my younger sibling. So far my younger sibling has never helped pay off the debt he made. So until now I am the one who has to pay it off. My father passed away 3 years ago, now my mother and I live with my mother and family.
Just imagine a head of a family suddenly losing his job and having no cash reserves at all.
Confused that I feel today to imagine how tomorrow will be. For now I have no money at all. I plan to sell the laptop that I am using, to make ends meet. If no one provides assistance. After all, I am the head of a family who must meet the needs of my family.
Whatever amount of money you will give I will accept it with pleasure. If there is excess money from this fundraising I plan to open a business at home. For example : Cellphone Service because I used to be a Nokia Care Center Cellphone Service Technician. So as not to depend on other people for work anymore.
Thank you. Peace be upon us all.
