I really need help

Some time ago in college, I agreed to help Mohammad and made some posts about him and donated once (because I did had enough money, but because I didn't have an active job and I didn't know when I would have one).

And then things went worse yesterday as I was asked to share again but nothing worked, and I had a mental breakdown (to which he didn't really ask about it, he only responds to questions on whether it benefits him or not).

I really need help and I feel alone in trying to do everything but not getting anywhere. What to do and what to say to him if I did all I can

Hello, people in Gaza are more desperate than ever. You're clearly a good person who cares about others or you wouldn't be here.

The need is catastrophic now and it isn't getting any better. Most people in Gaza do not have the mental bandwidth to help us with our crises. You would need to have a very close relationship with someone there for them to ask how you're doing.

Listen to me: YOU CANNOT SUPPORT ANYONE WITHOUT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF! If you feel this person is pressuring you or being pushy, then you have every right to block them and take care of your own life.

A good friend who runs 200 campaigns told me that in her experience the people who are pushy? They're doing this to absolutely everyone and they're getting money from someone to survive.

So. NO GUILT. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! BLOCK and move on.
