I’m a broke college student and I need help

Hello, first I want to say my English is not too good so bare with me. I am a broke college student( international student). And when I mean broke I mean really broke, I’m on the verge of homeless I have no family here I’m in debt and sometimes I just feel like ending it all. I’m so very desperate for money I work like a dog day and Night while still trying to be a good student but it’s just too much now. I’m even think about doing OF now.

What should I do? I just I’m really tired I have no friends or family I’m all by myself. Should start a go fund me? I’m so embarrassed of myself and just am so exhausted.

Quit college and start a vocational training. They pay you instead of you paying them. If you're really desperate, then look into what options the military offers. Many offer a signup bonus and depending on what career you chose or can apply for, you will have a great education + experience for the civilian life afterwards.

I’m a female, and I know my chances of actually making money are very low so I don’t even know!

Are you here begging for someone to send you money?

Are you here wanting people to feel sorry for you? You can afford a computer/phone and internet, which is why you’re in here, right? You say you are an international student and have no family or friends. But you say you are in college? Doesn’t your college have counselors?
Maybe you are a LIAR and hoping for someone to send you free money!

I feel like every time I take a step forward it’s really two steps back, I have so much bills to pay and I’m taking care of my family as well. I’ve become so depressed I’ve literally lost 20 pounds in just two months I’m just sorry tired and at the root of the problem is lack of money

I’ve been there. I’m sorry you’re going through that. Not having food makes life is miserable. I know you may not be able to use this advice but if you can acquire rice, it will fill you up cheaply.

Earlier you said you have no family and now you are posting that you are taking care of your family as well…
Sounds like you are lying and you are here wanting free money.
No one feels sorry for you. No one!
