My BF accepted a job offer from a company because they were impressed with his report. (Not the job he applied for) The job took him over seas and it was suppose to be for 3-4 weeks. Which they got him over there on their dime. He had three days to get ready. Funding the job himself. From mortgaging the home and borrowing. To having his equipment and tools shipped over.
Just about five months later he is still there. He had his tools and equipment break down, resulting in thousands of $$$ I had to give him from the resources I could borrow from and getting the parts from the USA. Resulting in more money due to the $$$ exchange.Trying to get the funds for him took time and delayed him finishing up the job and come home. He was has no food for about a week because he had run out of food and no money. He got malaria & dehydrated soon after. Had to see a Dr resulting in paying for medical services and meds. He has been sick a few times since then. I have been sending him a bit of money for food, meds & transportation. I can no longer do it.
He has kids from the age of 11 and under. Their mother passed away 5 years ago and I stepped up to the mom role now. It breaks my heart to hear them crying all the time and when they speak to him on the phone. Hearing them say, they “want their daddy”! There is not always a connection to speak to or text him. He took this job to help pay for their future education, like college and/or university. So they wouldn’t have to worry about the cost or if they should go. We want him home. We need him home.
He has missed their birthdays, my birthday, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, them grading from school and now we are into the summer. We want him home.
I have exhausted all resources I could use and now paying the new bills that helped him with. I don’t have the funds to pay the extras and we are scared of loosing everything. Being homeless.
There is something wrong here. They will not give him any advance from the money they are planning to pay him. Not even a dime. He feels used and abandon. He is stuck there. He deserves better. He has a heart of gold. His mental health has been so bad, that it worries me when I don’t hear from him. He doesn’t always have connection. He tries to hide his emotions from me, but I know. If it wouldn’t be for the kids and me, I think he would of given up on life long ago. 😭😭
When we finally got the final payment for the last parts he needed and delivered to him. He fixed the equipment and proceeded to finish the job so he could come home. He notified the company he would be done the next day. He only had 5% of the job left. Then the day after, a few guys showed up at his work site. Telling him he owed taxes. He never knew about this and he was never told. Looks like he was reported on the letter. We can’t say who and where for now, in fear of reprocaution from the company and tax people.
When he called me about this, My heart sank. The kids keep asking him, when are you coming home. Summer will be over soon and they will be back in school. He had promise them a summer getaway for grading. Not sure if it will happen now.
We ask you to find it in your hearts to help out. The stress is tremendous. Especially for him. I’m trying to be strong for all of us. He keeps telling me he is so Sorry for putting us through this. He wishes he never took the job. It really has taken up a huge part of our lives. Trying to get through this. I thank the Lord everyday that we found each other and that I can be there for him and our kids.
As, you can see on the letter, they want $104,000.00/US. He will need the extra money for sending his equipment home, transportation, food,his flight home and fees. All of this has to be in US dollars.We would appreciate it if you could help us out. They have extended his deadline a few times. It’s impossible to come up with this kind of money. Once he’s home, we will deal with the rest. He has another deadline in two days. He has been unable to finish the job. His equipment has been seized until he pays the bill. No way out of this right now. The sum needed is $160,000.00 to cover everything.
Thank you for reading our story and for your help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. GOD BLESS!🙏
(PS: He doesn’t know I’m doing this for him, for our family! Hugs..)🤗
