Why do so many bad things happen to me despite doing good things?

I don't mean to say I've never sinned but I have always tried to do things right. I have never hurt anybody, I have always respected others (even beyond what's culturally common). I have spent years rescuing animals, rehabilitating and putting up for adoption in a country where indifference for stray animals is rampant (I'm from Venezuela), and I also lend a hand to people when they need it, all of which I consider to be good actions. Yet here I am, suffering disgrace after disgrace.

Not only is the economic situation here in Venezuela affecting me, but other things as well. I recently had to move from a decent neighborhood to a ghetto because I lost my decent paying job and I can't afford rent in that place anymore, so I came here, but my bad luck didn't end there, one of my neighbors are extremely loud and blast music out loud, and their kids act like they're gangster, so I have no peace of mind in this place and diplomacy doesn't work with them. Aside from that the power goes out every single day for 5 hours or more during the day and I'm looking for a online job but who's going to hire me during afternoon and night hours only? And the reason why I'm looking for an online job is because I make $30 per week, which can barely feed my family and I. My brother makes around $200 and everything goes to rent (rent in this place is cheaper than where we used to live). On top of all that I have a condition that causes me shortness of breath and muscles around my throat, back and chess get stiff. I don't even know what it is because I can't afford and appointment.
