Right now, I have a negative savings amount in my bank account and I do not have financial support from anyone. I'm currently working on campus, which is the only place I can legally work. But I won't be able to continue it once I graduate. All the money I've earned so far went to the housing fee and phone bills. I already have a job in NYC starting in this fall, but I must stay in this country till then without the legal right to work.     I am an international student at Wesleyan University. Four years ago, my father failed his big business and ended up bankrupting with the debt of ¥372,835,531 ($3,684,733 as of now). Due to the court petition of the largest creditor of the debt, Hidaka Shinkin Bank, all personal real estate, including my family's residential house, land, offices (which I am currently using as a fitness studio) were auctioned in July 2013. Because of these events, my family has virtually no income and thus I cannot be able to recieve any financial support from them. I was extremely priviledged to recieve a full scholarship (merit-based) at Wesleyan, which allowed me to finish college without few financial difficulties. But now that I am graduating, I am facing a life-or-death challenge posed by this financial situtation. In short, I cannot leave the country in order to start working in NYC in this fall (if I leave the US, I cannot come back), but I don't have any financial standing to survive in the coming few months until I recieve my first salary. Worse, my bank account is negative, and my credit cards were all stopped. I cannot even  apply for the OPT, which will allow me to stay in the US after graduation (Optical Practical Training). My grandmother, who has been one of my biggest supporters, passed away two months ago. And my family and I are in the extremely difficult positition both financially and emotionally.I am really really in need of the money to survive in the next few months--for rents, food and transportations. Right now, I cannot even go back home even if I end up not being able to stay in this country. Please help me!
