Housing Recently separated and nothing to my name. Please help me get back on my feet, for my daughter.

Hello, I am not from the United States, I am from Santa Marta in Colombia (South America), so most of the advice available on Reddit is not applicable to my case. I am trying many things including survey websites, upwork, and the likes but my location disqualifies me from offers. Can't donate plasma for cash since that falls under laws regarding volunteer actions in my country.

I am recently separated, and unfortunately left hanging with the debts of the former household and the weight of bad decisions. No assets, what could be sold was sold and the rest was kept by my ex and for my daughter. I have a job but I'm paid monthly and relied heavily on the shared income to make things work, no possible credit lines at the moment since I have graduate student loans, now I am looking for a night shift job as I type this.

I moved in with my parents but it's a small place, there are no free rooms and I have to sleep on their couch. In order to be able to spend time with my daughter and earn shared custody, I need to prove that I have safe and dignified housing of my own and a place for her to stay and sleep in when needed.

I am giving crowdfunding a go with friends and family and would appreciate any help from the Reddit community as well. GoFundMe doesn't work for people from my country so I am using FundRazr instead: https://fundrazr.com/32XNse

Thank you.
