Attend Nans 90TH Birthday

Hello approx 18 months ago I assisted a friend with a number of cash loans who was both financially and most likely physically in trouble to the tune of approx $15k .My friend then proceeded to do a runner on me leaving me with my own bills to pay and also the loaned money for which I used payday lenders.Its a cycle thats hard to break as I have also had a number of setbacks along the way oncluding depression,my partner passing away and father in law and also a very dear and close friend committing suicide. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I struggle to get back on my feet and endeavouring to travel to qld for my Nans 90th Birthday and also try and relax for a few days.
