Hello everyone, first of all I hope all of you are doing very well.
My name is Patrick and I am reaching out to you because I am about to lose my daughter. Let me explain you about my situation. I was living in Bridgeport, CT, working as a spanish interpreter for companies like Wawanesa, Alliance Insurance, 911 and so on; these companies obviously are located in USA and in Canda and payment was good, 27$ per hour so thing is that I was doing very well and every year I used to flight back from USA to my country to visit my daughter and also my mother, staying in her place the whole month. So thing is that she is 60 now but 4 years ago she got sick and ended up in the hospital with a brain aneurism and I had to come here to stay with her. She was in the hospital like for the whole month waiting for a surgery opening and after surgery I couldn’t just leave her, so I called up the company that I am working for and let them know that I am not gonna be able to go back but we can do it virtually and they did agree, I did stay the whole year, I got my ticket to flight back to the States for April 2020 but COVID did start all over the world in March 2020, my flight got canceled and well obviously I was happy because I was staying with at mom’s and even when it was kind of hard to see my daughter I was with my mother which is beautiful; you know, to feel yourself at home.
Around June that year the company let me know that they are gonna cut of my payments down to only 5$ per hour, and it was insane because we started working for 911 and calls were freaking back to back because the worldwide COVID issue and they were like if you don’t like it well “I do not care”. I kept working for them and because I had some savings I was doing ok and I didn’t want to worry to my mother. Everything was going back to normal step by step and it was since January this year (2023) that here in Perú everything is going back to normal. Because of the COVID I was not able to pay child support and also I was living with my mother thinking to myself that I will go back to the states. My payments are fixxed as it is supposed to the way it was when I was in the States but I am not over there and now I need to pay 14,733.85$ which obviously I do not have at this moment, all my savings so far are 1378.69$ not even 2K. I cannot leave the country because I need to pay child support, I cannot change the amount of payment because again I need to pay that amount of money (which obviously I don’t have at this moment) to ask for a court day to change the amount of child support I am paying but again, I need to pay the amount that is behind first, I just received the notice from the judge staying that I have until November the 9th this year otherwise I will end it up in jail and I will lose my daughter. Yes it is my fault because I did not change the payment for child support but please put yourself in my shoes and try to see this the way I was seeing. First of all I thought I am going back to the States and I am not staying this long, second of all my mom it is 60 years old now and she is not the way she was, I couldn’t leave her just like that and finally I thought that when everything ends I will go back to the States with no problems at all and look for another interpreter job over there because I am doing this for around 9 years. But now I am myself between the devil and the deep blue sea, there is nothing I can’t do to get that amount of money in less than 1 month, I work my ass off and my checks are not bigger that 138$ per week (the company gives you a warning FOR EVERYTHING, if you lost the phonecall, if there is a dog barking or amybe some noise and the other company makes a complain, and instead giving you a bonus for your hard work, they take money from your check and it gets smaller for any complain the company makes and the worst part is that they charge to the company more than 80 dollar PER MINUTE in the day and imagine how much they charge at night shift? but they pay you 5 dollars THE HOUR because I am not in USA) and with that amount I will need at least 3 years to gather the money but I will need to make the payments that are behind the schedule and I am not gonna be able to make it if I am here. If I wanna leave the country and work in the States I will need to make the payment to leave the country and not to end it up in jail. My mother does not know anything about it and I don’t know what can I do to keep her out of this, I am afraid about her health, myself losing my daughter or even worse, ending up in jail. I know it is a lot of money but even 1$ will help me out to get the 14 thousand, even just 1 dollar please, if I lose this battle, I just don’t wanna imagine what would happen next because of me, it was great in the beggining but I never thought it is gonna end it up like this, I just wanna go back to the road and start helping out my mother again and paying the child support for my daughter, I know I can work and I am good at it but not here, I am not gonna be able to gather the money with 5 dollars per hour.
That is why I am begging you please if ANY of you guys can help me out with any amount smallest as 1 dollar I will really appreciate that from the bottom of my heart, because that will help me out to get the amount of money that I need. Thank you very much for all your time and your understanding and obviously thank you very much in advance for all your help. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!…
Regards,
Patrick.
