Legitimately no clue where to look, I live in a very shitty country with nothing regional for me, so no options there, and everything online is exclusively US or UK only it seems, and even then most of them aren't free which I can't afford, and it's only for very specific fields and for specific countries only, nothing general or anything to refer me to the appropriate person or group for what I need.

Need advice on basically everything, am extremely lost in life and am stuck in a very tricky situation, no clue how to navigate all of that without professional help, it's a little too much. No friends or family to turn to so it's just me on my own, sorry if I'm supposed to know all of this already or something but I legitimately don't, please bear with me.

I have no connections so I tried resorting to AI for referrals as a last resort but it didn't do anything for me, still can't find where to go and who to talk to.

No clue if anyone here knows of anything but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask, anything's appreciated.

We have been in this exact situation before and very few people helped, even though we went to the 'professionals', and the system was/is still of very little help to us. Honestly you are better asking for the specific help you need here, either a step/post at a time or one big post, at least ioo.
