Trapped in Dubai, no job, no money due to school fees caused by Covid downturn

I do not really know what to say but I got into trouble with paying the school fee's in Dubai due to the Covid downturn in the market. I was paying the school a reduced amount but they wanted it cleared and imposed a travel ban on me. This caused me to lose my job and unable to get another one. I have been trapped for over two years not seeing my family as I sent them back to the UK when this all started and missed my fathers funeral.

My marriage has broken down due to the stress and I have sold everything I have to support myself over the time. I did not want to call out for charity but this is my last option as I face going to jail for 3 years then get 30 days to pay the debt else kept in there indefinitely. I miss my wife and children so much and this has destroyed my life but I have no way of paying the debt, I have found a job in the UK and due to start and said I would pay the debt back once I start working but this has not been accepted. So I have no idea what to do.

I would not mind if the debt was due to spending on luxury items but is was for the schooling of my children but a debt is debt I understand that but this has destroyed my family and I have no way of climbing out of the hole.

I really hope you can help because this is my last hope and need this urgently sorry .. as about to become bed less in 50c heat and need to get my life back.

Got an idea like this?
