Tired of being helpless

Hi my name is Jerry and i’m just another person working hard everyday to support my family. In March of 2014 I had an incident in our family home, where I lost my mother, father, and only sibling to carbon monoxide poisoning. Nevertheless I have never reached out for help or sympathy. I had family members blaming me instead of being there for me’ I worked my ass off and made things work with what I had left. As a small business owner, I’ve worked so hard to keep Calypso Hut afloat. A business my parents worked so hard to build. To the public the optics may look great but no one really knows what goes into operating a space like this. I never made a go fund me asking for any sort of help! I always maintained and kept my head high. But this Saturday night as I was going to bed after work, my front door was kicked down and my house was stormed, ransacked and robbed at gunpoint by 4 armed men, smashing my house room by room with my children watching. I was pistol whipped multiple times. my children were horrified!! This is the 3rd time this has happened and I just feel like giving up. But before I do so i thought of my children and their futures.. This country has let me down so much and drained me to the point i just never get a break! The thieves took everything this time! My mother’s wedding rings and jewelry were priceless and all I had I left of her. That was supposed to be an heirloom I could pass down. They stole all of my daughter’s piggy’s banks and life savings. All out passports, vacation money, cash Pathetic!! All my life all people did was take from me. I’m so tired of it and have never told anyone about the way I feel inside. I wouldn’t wish this feeling for anyone on earth! My smile does a great job at how I’m really doing tbh. I honestly don’t have a friend to listen that doesn’t see me as someone they can use. I don’t have a family member I can call without them asking me for something. Im so tired of being exhausted. I’m asking today for any sort of help to bring us back to our feet. I want to move but Things are so bad I don’t even have money to repair the front door for the quote I got.. I don’t expect anyone to help the way life has been dealing its cards with me but I thought I’d ask as a last resort. If you know me then you know the type of person I am and to be honest I’m embarrassed and hurt to even be writing this….… thank you for reading.. sorry if I disturbed any peace of yours.
