  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR - Actress and singer Elliza Razak is seeking help amid mounting financial difficulties and severe stress while raising her two children as a single mother. The 41-year-old admitted she could no longer manage her problems alone, particularly with mounting debts reportedly left behind by her ex-husband. In a heartfelt Facebook post, Elliza expressed her exhaustion and requested guidance on support available for single mothers, including assistance with her children's schooling expenses. Initially, she believed she could handle everything on her own, but now the prolonged stress is taking a toll on her health, causing rapid heartbeats, breathlessness, and excessive sweating. Elliza emphasized that she has no intention of seeking sympathy or playing the victim. She had previously kept her struggles private to protect the feelings and reputations of those around her, but is now ready to accept help from genuinely willing individuals. Elliza and her ex-husband divorced in February 2024 after a 12-year marriage.",
