Fundraising for paying off debt due affected by COVID-19

This is the most awkward and embarrassing thing that I have ever done, to ask for fund to tide through difficult times like now.

My name is Malenie and I am currently based and work in Singapore. I have a boyfriend whom I have been with for the past 10 years, who was retrenched during the COVID-19 period. I am blessed that I still have my job.

While he was out of job, and the job market is tough, he tried to find some businesses that he can venture in. Being a person with no savings, my boyfriend has turned to me to ask for help. I have, foolishly, used up my very little savings, my credit card, applied a few loans, just to encourage him with his passion in venturing into his own business.

As much as I wished him success, his supposedly-business-partner, gambled and lost all the money for the startup cost and has since been uncontactable; after promising that he will return the money.

Both of us, lost all our money overnight, just like that.

To add salt to the wound, my father was asked to retire as their company was not doing well because of COVID-19. He is also depending on me, to provide a minimal allowance for daily expenses.

I am now struggling to make ends meet while trying to pay off all the debts and loans that I have, while my boyfriend continues to try to get a job in this tough time. My father, like most of anyone else's, has been the most supportive and loving father, who tried to give me the best of everything. I feel so ashamed and sad, worrying every month, that I won't even have any money left for him to spend.

I plea for your help, in any possible amount, to help me tide through this period. I am willing to share all the documentations that I have, to prove my story to you.

Thank you for your time for reading.
