Even if you are sincere, I feel this isn't a good place for your plea for money.
There's many people similar to you who have posted somewhere on the internet asking for help in paying off bills, starting a new life, or whatever. Your method is not unique, & like the others who ask for money, with or without ruses involved, I feel it's wrong. If others wish to help you (pay you) that's their business but there's many others in similar if not far worse situations who have managed without asking for others.
Believe me, there's been times I've been sorely tempted to beg or panhandle when I've been flat out broke, no assets, & nothing but a few staples in the pantry to eat, but pride & ethics would never allow me to.
Of different sites asking for help
http://helpmeleavemyhusband.com/ is one example.Another university student entered info on ebay asking for others to pay her student loans because as she says "teachers don't get paid much & it'll take me ages to pay it off".
