Please help me out of Nicaragua

Donation protected
I came to Nicaragua three years ago. It was such a beautiful paradise and my plan was to make this country my home away from home.  I submerged myself into the culture as much as I could, learned to speak the language. I opened a small business here and was working hard and living well. I fell in love and got married to a Nicaraguan.  Together we were working on getting my Nicaraguan residency but unfortunately the papers never came through. Shortly after my marriage began to fall apart and I found myself in a position where I couldn't leave the country. My husband has since left the country and left me to fend for myself in Nicaragua. I felt like I would be okay, but then the revolution began. I have since had to close my business and move out of the city due to the danger caused by the manifestations and the lootings. I moved pretty deep into the jungle into a small hut hoping that I would find safety here until I can get everything sorted out or until the country would go back to its normal peaceful self. Surviving hasn't been easy these past few months. Seeing as I was working mainly with tourism and tourism is non-existant at this point in Nicaragua, I haven't been able to find work which unfortunately means I've been stuck here just digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole. 

I've invested 100% of my earnings in my business here and didn't want to lose hope that the country would return to normal soon enough. Unfortunately the situation in Nicaragua has been getting worse. There are less and less resources available and more and more casualties everyday. At this point my health and my life are at risk. Any donation in helping me out of Nicaragua and safely back home in Canada would be absolutely tremendous. I could never thank you enough.
