Hi po. 

I am a breadwinner who has been taking care of my mother and my sister since my father died last year. I am a PWD and I have a Mild Marfan Syndrome but I'm working. However, due to a lot of financial burden, I was left with no choice but to borrow from OLA. Right now, I am more than 70,000 in debt due to high interest and my salary cannot suffice. It has since affected my mental health resulting to depression and anxiety to the point that my suicide thoughts has been intruding me for quite sometime. 

I hope I can find help because I have no one to turn to. Thank you po.
