Hello
My name is Esteban, I'm an American citizen currently living in the Zona Colonial of Santo Domingo, I been in the island for 5 weeks more or less and I'm currently going through a terrible predicament and I need advice in regards to what I can do.
I couple months back my "wife" and I planned a trip to the Island, I had been here once before and stayed for 4 months and loved it, a few days before the flight my wife tells me she can't make the trip but that I should go ahead and take it, she mentioned that her ticket was refundable but mines wasn't, so I went ahead and took the trip.
Three days after my arrival, I got a message from my wife on Facebook telling me that she was getting a divorce with no further explanation, and emmediately blocked me, a couple hours later my bank card was not working, my cellphone line disconnected and she began to delete all her email accounts. Thankfully I brought a small amount of cash that I kept in the safe of my hotel room.
At this point my vacation turned into a nightmare and I was completely unaware as to what was going on, and what I was going to do, considering I'm orphan and have no family, my wife was my everything and our home was the only home I had to go too... I have some friends but not the type of friend to throw a dog a bone if you know what I mean.
Two weeks after my arrival I got a call from my landloard saying that my wife had emptied out the appartment, disconnected all the services and paid the cancellation fee to our apartment contract.
I emmediately counted the money I had left, I started looking for a place to stay and was able to find a studio in the colonial zone, which would turn out cheaper then pay a hotel fee every night.
On the 26th of this month I was suppose to fly back, allthough hesitant considering that if I flew back I would be homeless as soon as I put foot on american grounds, I went to the airport and when I tried checking in, my ticket had been cancelled.
I'm currently running super low on cash, I have RD$3,000 to my name, I am jobless and I have no one to seek help from.
what can I do?
