My name is Morongoe, which means "the sent one; messenger or angel." I am from South Africa, Western Cape. I am not originally from here; I've been here for four years now and doing okay for myself until I got scammed out of the little I had, the little I was to build on top of so I could get a place to stay for myself.I do have a place to stay, which is a family place, but it has reached a point where my family no longer wants me staying here. They rent out the rooms or "flats," so I've taken the space of a possible tenant. They have indirectly given the people who rent here the liberty to mistreat me because "they pay," is what I've been told. As we speak, there's a substance they burn the whole night and day, where they hire other's as if they know what they are doing that already has me feeling nauseous, and I can't say anything. Besides, there are a lot of gaslighting tendencies, so even if I were to say anything, it would seem like I am lying, and I still wouldn't be listened to because I am not a paying customer, just to mention a few.
I was scammed to the point where I have nothing. I've tried asking for assistance from family, but was told "that we all have problems." It's true, and all I wanted to do was to lend the money as I am in a small business and know I was going to repay it back, but no one cares to hear me out. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm the black sheep of the family. As a result, I haven't eaten anything for close to 20 days, and I'm constantly sick from the substance being burned continuously.
May I please get assistance? In my small business I sold samosas, Russians, and sometimes cooked pork head for people around the areas I sold from, and it wasn't much, but I was doing okay for myself. At first, it was to raise money to fix my sewing machine. I had taken it to four different mechanics to fix it but got worse instead, to the point where it stopped working and some parts were stolen from it, and this was all for a problem with the timing. I never really got to the point where I made enough money to take it to a proper mechanic who would have charged me quite a bit, so I guess I just stayed with the food industry, which in turn kept me fit because I walked alot. My mother passed on last year so all the money I made then was all used on her funeral, hoping I'd make it all back but it's been a struggle.
I would really appreciate any help you can offer me.
Kind regards
