How Can I Get Back to Israel?

Shalom Everyone,
Does anyone have any suggestions for me, (and many other Jewish people, in the same predicament) I want to greet Moshiach...but if I do not have the money for an airline ticket, do not have the money for a home waiting for me, do not have a job set up for me, etc. etc.
In other words: I do not have the money to get back to Israel.
I made Aliyah, in 1989...twenty years ago. Nefesh B' Nefesh will not help me...as, they said they can not help old "Olim".
I feel trapped...how can I save myself?
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.
Please answer. Thank You.
Should I have Emuna, that Moshiach will gather us, from the four corners of the earth, and not worry about all the money I need...to end my exile in America?

in my opinion anyone who keeps Torah and mitzvos and learns Torah will be saved so dont worry but then i could be wrong (hopefully im not)

Shalom,
Thank you, very much for this information.
I did not really think, that Hashem would allow the fate of poor Jews...to suffer in exile.

are you people thinking straight?
do you really believe that G-d has it in for all the jews outside YI? a jew living in YI doing averas is even worse than a jew outside the land dong averas hvs. the Rebbe never told jews to run to YI. He said we have a responsibility here. How can you say that running from your resposibilty will make G-d happy? who ever thought of this whole nonsencical idea in the first place? why would anyone listen to an autistic childs opinion on the matter? is he a Talmid Chahom? a Novi? all this talk of immediate alyia is sounds like mass hysteria. and look around anyway how many jews are making aliay? ill tell you righth that personally i know three familieir and each one came back to the states for diff reasons. stop fooling yourselves G-d put you here in the states, that means you have to finish the job here. Have some emunah. Moshiach Now!!!
and if you want to greet Moshaich like I do, who told you that he'll come to YI first? Here we believe that he will come to Brookly first.

You do not need a plane ticket to greet Moshiach; you need good deeds and Torah study.

An airline ticket? The Rebbe said (on video) that you won't need a plane.
CHeck this out, about "deserters"(!!)
From "The Letter and the Spirit", Letters by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, page 300:
...I must say that it came as a painful surprise to me to read your question regarding the number of Lubavitchers who have fled the United States to settle in Eretz Yisroel, etc. I use the term "fled"advisedly, since, unfortunately, so many people have indeed fled from the USA and other countries, when they should have remained there, in the forefront of the battle for Jewish survival. Thus, their departure has brought about a serious decline of Yiddishkeit in their own cities and communities, leaving them completely exposed to the twin threats of assimilation and intermarriage. With all due respect,I consider them deserters from the battlefront, while in some cases they have actually aggravated the situation by using their influence to persuade others to emulate them. This may appear to be unduly harsh censure, but it unfortuntately reflects the reality of the situation.
To argue that all those who go to Eretz Yisroel will surely find there an easier and better life, from the viewpoint of Yiddishkeit, is the same as arguing that a soldier at the battlefront would find it easier and better to go home--nevertheless he would still be regarded as a deserter.
