Hi my name is William Bailey. I am 52 years old and live in Marshall, Illinois. My wife’s mother has recently become ill and she requires around the clock care. She is living in Thailand. My wife is currently providing care for her mother, working as a teacher and also raising a 9 year old son. I am taking a leave of absence from my job here in the United States to go over and assist her. I work for an automotive manufacturing company and have purchased my flight there but I am having a difficult time saving the money I will need to take with me as I also have to cover my expenses here while I’m on leave and will not be earning money.
