[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just realized you don’t mention a husband or kids. How old are you?

I think you can only send them what you can. Your sisters need to step up.[/quote]

Op here. I have an American husband, which is why I have been able to send over as much of my paycheck as I have been. My parents are too embarrassed to get my husband involved and I don’t feel bailing out my parents is his responsibility. Needless to say, he isn’t really rich so 60k is a lot of his hard earned money. [/quote]

So does he have 60k? How much does he earn?

Do you have kids?

I hope he is supportive and doesn’t resent you or your family for this situation.[/quote]

Yes he does. We do not have children yet. He is supportive but he’s American so I think he doesn’t quite understand their predicament and desperation. I’ve also not told him the specifics as he wouldn’t really get it as an American. I’m also so embarrassed my family is so poor :([/quote]

I cannot believe you are on here asking for ways to bail your family out when your DH has the money. It is sad that you can’t talk to your husband about this.

At the same time, maybe you are afraid it will cause marital problems or else you probably would have told/asked him.

The obvious thing to do is ask your DH for the money. If he truly loves you, he would help your family. How can you ask strangers on a go fund me before asking your own DH.[/quote]
