I never thought I’d be here. I’m a father. My wife and I just had our first baby a few weeks ago. While I should be celebrating new life, I’m instead living in fear every single day. I’m buried in over AED 200,000 (~$54,000) of debt—credit cards, loans, and money lost from some terrible financial decisions I wish I could take back. We have no savings left. Rent is due. Baby supplies are running low. I skip meals some days just to stretch what little we have. I’m not lazy. I work hard. But no matter how hard I push, it feels like I’m sinking deeper. I wake up at night with my heart racing, wondering how I’m going to make it to the next day. My wife still believes in me. That hurts even more—because I feel like I’m letting them down. I know there are thousands of stories like mine. And I don’t deserve help any more than anyone else here. But if there’s anyone out there with the heart and means to give—even a few dollars—it would mean the world to me. Right now, any help could keep us afloat just a little longer. Thank you for reading this. Even if you can’t help, just knowing someone heard me means more than you know. Paypal me: tarequesharqi7@gmail.com
