[quote=Anonymous]My family is from a poor Indian village. Through hard work and luck my dad moved abroad on a government job and raised us. I found my way into the US and stayed due to marriage. My family is now in a Gulf country and my dad was laid off 6 months ago. They have no money and are about to be evicted from their apartment due to owing $65k in rent they were unable to pay. The landlord has said he will evict them if they do not pay soon. I have little sisters and a mom who was never educated so she can't work. Both dad and her are 60-65. I only have 10k in my savings total. I have sent them 1-2k per pay cycle to help with food and other expenses but I do not have a large lump sum to send over and help them. I have told them to go to charitable institutions there to seek help but they haven't yet. I have contemplated doing a Go Fund Me but I doubt it would raise much. People smarter than me, what can I do to help them?[/quote]
