"Help Needed"

that i have seen that in the QLers. Just alot of genuine people who actually care for one another..

this is QL!

You're in good hands, ballinkq!

we'll try to help out as much as we could. Indorachel knows people that could be of help to you. Might as well send her a PM...

and it will be greatly appreciated if you can find out a little more information for me i would appreciate it cause ive been there many times and all i was told is that there is nothing they can do...

Ballinkg , I met somebody from US consular , I never talk about you to them coz at that time I dont know you're real name ...but they said they have some sort of fund that you can borrow and repay it back when you get back in the states ..... I'm not sure about it becoz I was asking for other american who happen to be in your shoes right now ..they are a family ...and the consular said just come during 10 - 12 and you dont need to make an appointment and then talk to any consular and they said they do have some sort of fund to lend it thru government , so you can be home to the states ...... If I didnt forget about it i will ask that person next time I see him ......

for help in the sense of any job leads or if you knew of someone that had the same situation and they were able to resolve it.

So,ermm what sort of help are you after? financial help???

to the American colleges here to see if they were in

need but those positions were filled. And I didnt catch that and yes i will speak to the papers..

I was 1 of the volunteers of the Iftar distribution event and i had a great time meeting members from this group.Azilana hi , your right i didnt mention my situation at that time because we were gathered to help other people and that was my focus. Gweni... thank you..Casanova hope you have a safe trip home and thanks for everything. Finally Sunshine5580 it is just the nature of people in today's society to think and speak negatively in some situations. Its ok i am a strong person and it doesnt bother me..

Sunshine, its not about american but human.

gosh feel bad for the american, but feel even worse after reading the comments from sum ppl abut his situation.thought sum ppl have a heart.

Hey buddy...

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.

see you on 12th once I’m back to Qatar...

May God provide you the strength to overcome from the trouble he himself have given you for any reason...

Anyway you can ask for, and get,special clemancy from the Emir or someone else in the ruling family? Or anyone here do it on his behalf?

As it is the bank will never get the money repaid so they have nothing to lose letting you leave the country in order to gain employment.

There must be some sort of personal employment number you have so that the US federal government can track the tax you owe on any work you do. Give this to the authorities and get them to put a stop on a % of your future earnings and have it direstlt paid in to your Qatar bank account before it comes to you - called a Direct Debit or Standing Order in the UK, don't know what they are called in the States.

I know this sounds logical, and that doesn't always work here, sorry if you have already been down this route.

i hope everything turns out well for you...

i pray that u could go back to your country the soonest possible and be with your family...take care...

with my distribution team during our IFTAR packs distribution activity.

I am sorry I missed this thread but even if I did, I wouldn't have believed him myself. He didn't even mentioned it when me and casanova were with him.

I hope SPEED could work out something for him...:-(

i guess there is... ballinkg is still very much around DOha... i think he's one of the volunteers to the QLVG Iftar Distribution...

cheers ballinkg for being able to survive the crisis...

any good news?

Hi speed iam really happy to hear that you are in touch with himm.

May god help him to sort out his issues

....G.B. Shaw

don't know to much about you speed but thanks for taking an interest in this guy and at least meeting with him. I always felt the guys story was good and it is great that this someone from this site took the time to find this out. Your the reason I like this site and I will keep telling all my friends about it.

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

Yes one thing Embassy can do to him is to help him in finding a suitable job in American Companies in Qatar.

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

Ballinkg,If you are real, go to your embassy, they will not refuse you if you are true, you are a paying taxes citizen of USA, you have all the rights to get help from them.

"There's nothing we can do to change the past, if it teaches  you a lesson profit from it then, forget it."

and I am in touch with him, his story is genuine and he is an American and I am trying my best to help him out ...

Hope you guys (those who have doubt) at least trust me ?

If I feel that your help is required, I will definitely let you all know...

Till then Just pray for him ...

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

FIRST WARNING, Bullet!

Uneducated fool...American-wannabee...i responded to your question with regards to your inquiry about enlisting in the US ARMY! I hope you can get in the ARMY and be sent to IRAQ. Talk english...that's not how english is taught in high school, right (if ever you finished high school)? You are one of those uneducated people who landed into a job and starts bragging about it. A fly who happens to land on the back of the cow, thinking he's taller than the cow. A monkey talking in english will still be a monkey, no matter how 'slang' your english will be. It's a metaphor, if you know what it means. I am a Filipino myself. I feel sorry for you.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

Instant censoring of posts...

[removed by mod. your account will be blocked if you continue to post comments like these]

try and ignore the trolls people.

Bullet,

I know you are a Filipino, but the way you talk makes me think you're not. Have you been mistreated by your parents when you were still a kid, that's why you reacted that way to people in need? Or since you claim to be a Tattoo Artist makes you feel proud of yourself, and speak to people that way? I feel sorry for you being uneducated and not raised properly by your parents. No one is asking for your opinion here. If you don't like what you're reading, then don't go to this post. If this is a SCAM, then wait for someone to prove it, otherwise, give the person the benefit of the doubt. He is asking for HELP, and not begging for MONEY. PLEASE, READ TO UNDERSTAND, NOT JUST TO RESPOND. No one is being forced to donate here, so keep your opinion to yourself and put it inside your sorry ass so that no one would ever hear it.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

Not everyone can go inside the US Base. I know it, i've worked there before. Not even a US Citizen. They need to have a clearance from the base before they can go inside, like a sponsor. Also, they can't just transport you out of the country otherwise ordered by the Embassy. All US Military personnel who travels to Qatar via the Air Base came straight from IRAQ. Anyone travelling back to the states must go VIA the commercial route. Apply on a construction/engineering company as a trainee for Health and Safety, or any other department. That way, you can expand your borders and not get stucked in just coaching basketball. I'll help you if i could find one.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

andrews,

I dont know this guy never met this guy never spoke to this guy but believe me it would be wise for him not to ever meet me especially after some of the things that he has said.

you met ballinkg in person????So how she/he looked like?

Wat d hell is this all about?/////////////

Hello everyone,

First of all this is a (spam) this is a call to everyone that is a memeber of this site for help.(a fund raising for me to buy a beer and get laid)

I am an american who has been coaching basketball here in qatar for 3 years now. I have been here for the last 7 months without work and unable to leave because of a bank loan i took out to help my girlfriend find a job,then after she got a job,she leave me and live with another guy.(coz she told me i'm not that good in bed)

Now i have been put on a blacklist for traveling and unable to leave the country.( Hope you believe in my gimmick) I have gone days without eating trying to save any and everything to solve this problem. if anybody is willing to help me so that i can get home and obtain future employment it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Kenny(kenny the penny)

LOL!!! yeah why don't we meet outside of this forum...let's talk 'bout yo prob....i'll bring a rope or a pesticide for you.....so you wanna raise money??.....by the way...nice comment for RED_POPE...ballinkg is such a desperate young lady!!!LOL....tryin to get a buck...Hey ballinkg...try to walk from Qatar to Iraq.....find some american pissed soldier and ask them to pull their trigger on yo head...

yeah Darude... something to be done..

last couple of days this guy was subject to the introgation by QLers. Facts must be verified at the earliest and possible help whatsoever to be done.

Its the QL volunteer group they handle such cases donation charities not my Group.

Speed should be the one to come forward and look into the situation i will ask him for this.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Darude..

You might have got some Idea by now about his problems.

He desperately in need of a job.

There was a suggestion that few QLSG members will have a meetting with him and take stock of the situation.

An intiative from Sr. QL members will be much appreciated.

And i never invited him who is he where he came from no idea.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Andrews

No no one has QLSG has met me outside of this forum but 1 guy from here has been in constant contact with me over the phone. I invite any member from here to meet me outside this forum for i have nothing to hide and would be more than happy to spend 5 minutes with them.

I'll let yoiu know my priorities. 1- my first priority is to get out of doha and get back to America as quick as possible.When replying to goaboy what i was saying was i dont wanna be trying to sneak out of the country and putting someone else in jeopardy by helping to sneak me out. And no it is not possible to go through the american base. I have no desire to come back to the GCC so clearing my name to come back here to work is not a issue. 2-As far as my need it is simple a waiter job would not get it done for me. I hope this clearified my position priority and need for you.

Yes please update us as quickly as possible. I have faith that this mans story is true. I have somewhat been there myself. Not as bad as him but I know the feeling of being down and out in a country with no money. I travelled to morocco, rabat from casa blanca. I arrived on a friday nite. To my horror there were not banks open and none of the money changers would take a travelers check. I was totally out of cash. But thank Allah for the good people of rabat. I explained my situation to the clerk at the first hotel I stopped at and he gave me a room for the weekend. I did not ask him for anything more. And to my surprise he said here take this money you'll need to eat. I hadn't even thought about food at that point. his gesture was so welcomed and appreciated by me that I left him the biggest tip i have left anyone in my whole life.

Thank Allah he believed me or I would have been out in the heat for three whole days.

Ok thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

Hi.. guys..

any one from QLSG met mr. Ballinkg.?

One thing Iam quite sure If he is not in a desperate situation he would'nt spent his time in replying to all this bullllllllshheeeet questions.

somebody update me plssssssss

I would like to know,

1) what figures are we talking about? depends on that we can figure out if you can solve your problem working as waiter for some weeks or you will need to work as engineer in QP for years... it is not the same sort of help needed.

2) what are your priorities? goaboy told you can leave the country through the american base (I dont know if it is possible or not, anyway that's not the question) and you replied that you dont want that headache???? consequences??? If you can go out of the country (again - Im not sure, but if that chance is real), who cares about a non-paid loan in a local bank in Qatar??? do you think anybody is going to know if you have a debt in a little country in the Gulf?

So, is it your priority to go back home? (I assume your interest in coming back is low as far as you dont have any job here) or do you want to stay in the Gulf and thats why you are looking for a job to clear up your file in GCC?

I dont understand very much your position, your needs and your priorities.

Im not stating here that get debts and run away is a nice practice, but if you setup priorities in your life (you want to go back home), you have to assume the consequences (maybe they ban to come back, maybe they ban you in whole middle east... but at least, maybe you will be able to restore the debt later from US little by little...)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

War looking for peace,

is like fornication looking for virginity.

Drac,

nothing yet but some of the people from here are checking somethings out for me and have been extemely helpful so im gratefulof that.

any news,bro?

red

You do me a favor, you meet me that way i can put a end to your skepticism..

a similiar position? ........... what a nightmare!!!

Make sure to bring your passport with you, that way we could confirm your identity and nationality.

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

China,

I would have no problem meeting anybody from this forum at anytime. I have nothing to hide. i put myself out there by writing to this forum so for 1 I had to put my pride aside and ask for help. If you or BE or anyone else would like to meet for a cup of coffee or something i have no problem with it just give me a time and a place.

Somebody from the QL social group invite him to the next gathering, you seem to have plenty of them.

Then more than one person can evaluate this case and report back here with some hard evidence/or just convince the non believers.

Then, as BE said, some proper help can be sorted. There will be more support once some of the regulars here confirm it. Also, more advice might be forth coming once this is confirmed as a genuine concern.

I for one would not like to be in a similiar position, would you? ........... what a nightmare!!!

I'll be honest with you..

I am a real sucker for lost causes and get taken in very easily.. I don't think I would be the right person for this..

I would gladly contribute to the cause though..

Look , the guy is in trouble.. He says he cannot feed himself.. Why doesn't someone from QLSG meet him, confirm his situation..

then we can perhaps have a whip round to get him through the month for food at least..

alexa

appreciate it i'll check them out.

Alexa

No i dont speak arabic.I have spoken to the american school and some of the other english speaking schools right before they finished last semester but they had no openings for this coming school year

kandioglou

i have been here for all this time because i am not allowed to travel because they have put a block on my name at the airport. i have stayed with a friend that i met while here.

Please can you tell me why you have stayed all these months and where? I can not understand it

Ms. Sirina Kandioglou-Zeimpari.

Agreed with kenyaqueen. British embassy is the same. Main role is to represent Britain in the country it is in. They will help citizens with the basics like renewing passports, and will act when an evacuation order is received, but they are not obliged to help people out of trouble they get themselves into (financial or otherwise). Of course they take each case on it's merits and act accordingly, but it's a common misconception that they're there mainly to help its citizens.

just a suggestion folks, If your not sure about the fact regarding how the american embassy can or can not help their citizens you can always check on their web site.

Pope, your friend must have had other circumstances involved in his case other than being stripped of everything! Because it is almost unheard of that the will provide money loans to get ordinary citizen home even with a co signer. However, they do provide the assistance of getting a passport back if lost or stolen, they will provide advice only in legal matters, they will help you contact your family/friends and of course evacuation but very difficult to get any more help than this. Anyway if you folks have concerns check out some of the facts first.

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

Ok, your welcome and no prob. I hope you get out of your situation.

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

Kenya

My mom wasnt in Qatar she was in the states before she passed away. And i appreciate the thought but im not asking for money i was asking for solutions to solve my problem but thank you anyway.

I believe your story, I don't understand why you didn't borrow money from the states because that is where your are from. Why would your mother be in qatar with you if you are only there for a short time cause the basic health care is practically free there. Anyway I can help you with a few dollars so you can eat. But not until monday as the banks are closed. You can send me your e-mail address and I will arrange to send you something through western union.

good luck

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

so what other work have you been looking for???

what work are you qualified to do?

If your story is true - then you have been rather naive...sorry

He is American or African makes no difference in the eye of GOD .. All are human being and this can happen to anyone .... All he is asking for Help ... !!

If you cannot offer him help at least say 2 good words..

We (Qlers) are here to help/ guide people who are in need or looking for some guidance/ advice ...

Best solution is to invite him in one you your gathering

... discuss his problem in the presence of other Qlers and offer him help whatever you can ppls can ...

Am sorry but am really sad to see how some of you are questioning him without knowing him??

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

amnesia,

I have been to the Ministry of Labour and the only advice that they would give was to find a Qatari to be a gurantor. Where is the Human Rights Authority located i haven't been there yet.

Actually I made my last post funny coz I feel bad reading comments of Red_pope in that way. Why people like to fight all the time. If you think some one is not right or you are not able to understand him. Let him do what he is up to. There will be no good in fighting.

Do live in peace and let others to live also.

ballinkg I think Red_pope is seriously in love with you lolzzz... He is trying for so long and I think nobody is noticing it lolzzzz....

Keep this nurishing lolzzz.... What a lovely couple lolzzzz....

Regards,

Intelligent

Some QLers have been extremely helpful and offered some useful solutions. Thanks for the info on the Qatar Scientific Club im going to get there and check that out.

thanks

thexonic,

To respond to your post they blacklist you FROM leaving the country which i found out when i tried to leave and they stopped me in the airport at the immigration station. secondly i have internet because the friends home i am staying in has it.

Your solutions are simple.

Go to the Ministry of Labour and see what they say

Go to the Human Rights Authority and see what they say.

Go to the BASE and they'll get you out of the country.

It's quite simple. You are required to pay back your loan (it's written in the contract by the way) to get out. You can't pay it back without a job. So that is when the authorities intervene to help out.

I don't understand how the American Embassy is refusing to help you.

__________________________

Mr. Q's Blog - A Qatari's view on Qatar.

When i was overseas in 2003 an American business friend of mines, got mugged and his wallet stole, including all his baggage.

Completely strip down.

He did approach The US embassy, they loan him some money for food, rent for the hotel and bought him the plane ticket.

All he had to do, since it was a burglary, he had to get his police report, fill the paper work with an active bank account with proof of employment, the affidavit, signed by one of his family members as a co-signer for the monies loan to him.

He got re-issue a new passport and some cash for traveling for the amount of 2500.USD and left the country.

Know you tell me, If this guy can do the same.

How come you guys keep pondering he is American?

His justification does not match his clarification.

If he was living in this country, according to his statement for 7 months, at his own will. The Dumb Nuts, instead of paying his loan and trying to get the hell out of dodge, he choose to stay here.

I said again he is not American, just another Bozo pretending to be one.

Know that he has no money and facing eviction, know he wants help.

All he has to do, visit the consular services representative and explain his problem.

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

Hope Ballinkg you would have found some good opportunities by now with the help of QLers.

Try calling Qatar Scientific Club or better visit them. Long back they were looking for coaches. I dont know if they got or still looking for. It is on salwa road.

Good Luck and Regards,

Red pope isn't your Kitchen your confession booth??? Lol.

--------

If you worship me, How come you never visit my Confession Booth?

I know you are my favorite raider of my kitchen. LOL

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

just leave trust me get to the us base best solution they cant stop you the us is defending this country.

They put people on black list when they leave the country, how did they blacklist u inside the country?

2) Americans are usually worshiped over here, u must be kidding.

3) American embassy can make Qatar make changes in their rules for Americans, but cant help u out... What did I miss out?

4) U can't eat but u have internet?

--------

harsh for your side. But seems unbelievable that an American asking help here.But,why not?It happens in your country too. Those homeless people lining-up for food stamps & clothes at some charitable outlets.So, that someone who pointed out you to QL might have an impression that QLers are generous people?Hope you can find some.

And you're still lucky, because the authority didn't put you behind bars because they really do that for some loan offenders.

use it dude your american

ifg you have it you can leave

just get there take your i.d card stating your an american explian to them the problem even if there are problems deal with them later man just get to your country believe me you dont want to be in this country during ramadan without a job it sucks big time .if it was me i mean if i was an american i would have left the next day.by hook or by crook it dosent matter just get out of this place.

What ever rocks your world bozo!

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

Red,

This will be my last reply to your ignorance because quite frankly it isnt worth the time or effort especially to deal with someone who is as unhappy with themselves as you are since it seems your only form of self compensation is this web page.

1.never was kicked out of my house by my WIFE not girlfriend.2 sorry but i am an American citizen but since i have seen some of your post it seems your hatred towards Americans is pretty pitiful.( must of been rejected by an American woman..lol or man for that matter)3.you are right my post didn't contain questions but a motive and that motive was to see if someone had any ideas how i could solve this problem (the most intellegent thing that has come out of your pathetic mouth so far). So dome a favor and keep your remarks to yourself especially when it comes to me since you have no significant or rather constructive advice..

ballinkg said:

anybody is willing to help me so that i can get home and obtain future employment it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You and God's blessings

LOL. You never had any real questions, Just a motive.

1-Here is the strange part of your employment, you got laid off, after three years of employment, but you did not use the money you saved in the bank, or your last monetary entitlements of employment, to paid off the bank loan.

2- Yet you decided to stay in country for 7 more months without a job, spending your money, on who knows what.

3- Probably you got kick out RECENTLY, from the house by your girlfriend or boyfriend and know you are finding your self in big trouble and homeless.

4- I don't even think, that you are an American citizen, just some Bozo pretending to be one.

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

nicaq25

Some one told me about the site.I never put blame on any one for being skeptical about my story but i was always taught that it is easier to ask questions first before formulating a opinion.

red_pope

You are a real character. First of all what is a beggard? lol.... Secondly no one asked for your mercy,and thirdly as far as a post of some women beggers i dont know if that was posted before or after me so just do me and alot of other people a huge favor and stop commenting here cause you are in plain english just ignorant..Finally, I told you to call the Embassy for yourself since that was all you could talk about when i already stated that I had spoken to them on numerous occasions.

this site (Qatarliving)?..You can't blame some of us here being skeptical about you, but one thing I know for sure about what you said:'have been put on a blacklist for traveling and unable to leave the country', because some banks really blacklisting for travel those who do not pay their loans.

Ballinkg, the help beggard.

Hey coach, How in the hell you expect me to follow your instructions in a basketball game? Specially, when you are asking me to call the US embassy for you!

I believe, that the one, in dire straights is you and not me. Do your homework and be honest to everyone.

Anyhow, your story has no essence, no real pain and it has no backbone to fill my cup of mercy.

What a coincidence?

Your story comes out to the lime light, after someone else post, about the woman beggars in Doha.

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

sad to hear your story..same to indorachel here i understand you were asking for help to get a job so you can survive..

Do you have car? do you know Doha well? i suggest you apply for real estate agent. Some company here are good, i can give you some number of the Managing Director that might need some more employee. Pm me if you are interested.

China,

There will be ignorance in any civilized situation that we encounter in today's world. I expected to receive some negativity when i put my story up here so i was ready for it. Drac and I have been in contact and he is gonna help as much as he can with my appreciation.

Like i said to 1 of the other people who wrote to me i pray that some of these people never find themselves in a situation where the help of other human beings is needed. I pray that the people that contact them in thir time of need treat them better.

Thank You

China,

There will be ignorance in any civilized situation that we encounter in today's world. I expected to recieve some negativity when i put my story up here so i was ready for it. Drac and I have been in contact and he is gonna help as much as he can with my appreciation.

Like i said to 1 of the other people who wrote to me i pray that some of these people never find themselves in a situation where the help of other human beings is needed. I pray that the people that contact them in thir time of need treat them better.

Thank You

this guy has given out enough information now for anybody to verify if they want to check him out. If you have doubts, I suggest that's what you should do. He has come back to fight his corner, I for one will give him the benefit of the doubt.

He is not asking for any hand outs (cash), he seems to proud for that.

So lets give him a break and see what we can do.

Unfortunately I am of little help, not being an American, so cannot advise there, and not in a position to give anybody a job.

ballinkg ............ sorry you have been treated like this in what is a so called 'civilised' society (it is not as you have found out!!!)

Assume you took Dracs offer up and contacted him?

Anybody else got any job leads?

Intelligent

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the comment but as we both see people read what they want to read even if it isnt what is stated. ignorance is bliss and as i see there are people who find more comfort in putting someone down and taking joy in another's misfortune rather than giving a helping hand. I hope that one day nothing bad ever comes to these people and they need the help of another human being.

Since you are such a negative person do me a favor since you find it so easy to find comfort in someone else's problem and have nothing but negative things to print do me a favor since i have already spoke to you about this issue call the American Embassy and ask them your self if they do anything for someone in this situation that way maybe you can stop being so negative.

bullet,

You should be careful with your words. Especially when saying that someone should commit suicide. Maybe you've though about that at somepoint in your life. if you have nothing positive to say you shouldnt say anything at all. There are people in this world who just open their mouths so they can hear themselves speak and maybe your one of them and if that is so to bad for you.

SOrry to hear about you. I wanted to tell you some thing. If you take a loan from a bank, that loan is already insured. If you remember the time you took loan they would have deducted some money or you would have paid some that is the insurance actually. Even you go back to america and never come back the bank never loses a dime. Infact they recover it by insurance. So be cool and dont think that you are black listed coz of loan.

Secondly the only thing you can do is find some job to get setteled first. And you will find lot of good people in QL to help you get one.

I really felt very sorry to know about your situation.

Good luck finding a good job.

Regards,

guys he didnt ask money ....it never said in his thread ....he need help such as job or other than that ...not begging money .....

suicide is the best way to go back in America...if yo prob was true why the embassy can't help you out,or why the authorities didn't arrest you in yo loan problem...maybe you are tryin to raise money out of this site...QL people...don't believe this guy unless he gave a proof...poor guy...i'm sorry but yo problem seems so untrue

ballinkg raise your right hand, place it in top of the bible or the Koran.

Repeat after me:

I Ballinkg, American citizen living in Qatar swear or affirm in telling everyone, the truth and only the truth in public forum in Qatarliving of your problem.

drac! i missed last night, had a prior engagement sorry.

Keep fighting,bro!

Last month it was a hell for me.

Same story like you.

Never ask for money! Asking for a job it's normal but dont be a beggar!

Send me - (PM)- some details.Maybe there's a job for you.

Good luck.

Indorachel,

Dracula,

Al Khor doesnt have a basketball team atleast last season they didnt.

Never had to do anything else been in basketball all of my life. I guess given the opportunity i would excell at anything that i do.

Al Khor basketball team.

Just an ideea.

brutus_ceasar

the people that brought me here are the one'si went to first when i found out that i was unable to leave and they offered no helpat all.

if you have any information of someone that is hiring please leave the information because i have checked as many places as i know.

Dude those people that recruited you, have you asked them?? Have you applied for another job?? You can try any job here so that you can save something to pay the bank. Surely the American Embassy here can do something for you.

Alexa,

I have tried numerous times to reach out to him but because he is in the background and never came to the club it was almost impossible to reach him taken that no one would give me his mobile number. All i was able to do was leave notes for him at the reception of the club and hope that they were passed on to him some how.

I am out of work because i was released because my team was not doing well this season.

yes jauntie there is a league here comprised of several teams.The league runs usually from december to may. They play their games at Gharraffa stadium.

Alot of people do not know that there is basketball in this country because it is not promoted at all.

Qatar have a basketball team?

I suppose you were coaching at a school, right?

china,

yeah that was my same response so i took it a step further and even called the US state department and sent a email to them but i have not gotten a response from them yet.

The court has placed me on the blacklist which originated from the bank.

goaboy,

thanks for the advice but then i have to worry about the consequences of leaving a country without permission and i dont want that headache..

RED-POPE,

I expected cynical peoplelike you to respond but im going to stoop to your level and fight back with ignorance.yes i expect people to believe my story because for 1 i have no need to try and con someone for help and 2 i have never taken a dime or handout from another human being my entire life.

I have been through every avenue to try and resolve the problem myself and have not been able to this is the reason AND ONLY REASON why i have come to a forum and toldmy story.So before you judge someone that you have no idea of who they are maybe you should ask them a question first and then form a reputable opinion..

I invite you to ask me anything you want or to even meet me.

That was my first impression, especially after the publicity surrounding the Indian man that was stranded here - Similiar story, loan to pay, and the subsequent support he received.

I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt for now, 'till he clarifies what I asked. But looking more like you are right ................. if he is so desperate, where's he gone now?

You actually want us to believe your sad story?

I don't buy it, I don't sense an emergency on your behalf.

Except someone trying his best, in taking my money.

I hope that no one will fall, for this guy story.

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

get to the us base here and just leave they cant even touch you.

Kenny, are you actually saying that, as an American, the American Embassy will sit by and watch one of it's citzens starve to death rather than assist with repatriation?

You mention 'blacklist', who exactly is stopping you from leaving, your ex employer, the courts?

that was my first stop to solving my problem but they are unable to help.

why dont u go to American embassy in doha and they help you out?...

I dont live with example..Reather I prefer to be an example!
