Please I need your help I'm desperate about moving away
My name is Erwin I'm 29 y/o, I'm from Guatemala. I have about 10 years living in USA, I am an immigrant, I speak better than I write in English. 4 Years ago I met my wife 26 y/o, she was homeless, her situation broke my heart I took her home with me, unfortunately she has an addiction, we been working on it getting programs and rehab, I thank God she is getting better but she relapse frequently. We are not legally married but were planning in a future. When I came to this beautiful country my American dream is work hard to help my family, build my own house save something and go back home to take care of my family. Sadly the little savings I had is gone on my wife's treatment, rent food and bills, I had a car but I sold it, I always been working seven days a week but the money I make it's not enough for all our need. My wife and I want to go home in my country, she wish to move to a place where is no drugs and live a sober life, I'm from a small county, every time I talk her about how green and quite place is she gets really exited and want to move, she really try her best to avoid drugs but I can see that it's hard since that poison is in every corner. I want to take my wife home but Sadly I have no house, I want her to live the clean life she wish to have, I'm dying inside but I don't let her see my desperation for not have nothing in my country. I'm sad for my situation and I'm afraid for my wife's life because she has attempted suicide twice, she say she doesn't want make me sad anymore because her struggle.I really love this woman, shes my life and reason for my smile. I'm a Christian, I believe in God and we pray every day, we go to Church and ask God to help us. I'm sorry I had to came to ask help with you beautiful people but I'm really desperate and exhausted, I know I'm young and can work but what I want now is go away and save my wife's life. And help my Mother have electricity in her little house. I hope you understand my supplication, I want to build a house, and have something to live with in my country.
Thank you so much for your support and generous help.-

How Our Helpline Works
For those seeking addiction treatment for themselves or a loved one, the Recovery.org helpline is a private and convenient solution.
Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) for your visit will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC).
We are standing by 24/7 to discuss your treatment options. Our representatives work solely for AAC and will discuss whether an AAC facility may be an option for you.
Our helpline is offered at no cost to you and with no obligation to enter into treatment. Neither Recovery.org nor AAC receives any commission or other fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a visitor may ultimately choose.
For more information on AAC’s commitment to ethical marketing and treatment practices, or to learn more about how to select a treatment provider, visit our About AAC page.
If you wish to explore additional treatment options or connect with a specific rehab center, visit our homepage to browse our directory listings, or SAMHSA’s treatment services locator.
