What would help look like? I could answer questions, help practice the language etc. But otherwise what could anyone do? I can't give you a job or a visa. My apartment isn't big enough to house someone. There just isn't too much us normal people can do.

job or a visa

Unfortunately that's exactly what I need.

Well, that's nothing anyone can just provide you with. You'd need to do your research, maybe ask around in relevant expat communities. Check if your country of choice needs people with your skill set. What I can tell you is that I know many expats who come on a tourist visa to job hunt, usually stay longer with a student visa and learn German in language schools and then try to get a job from there. It does require quite a lot of funds though.
