Q: Hello. I wanted to know if I have a case or a changing of winning a case?

So, I loaned my ex boyfriend $4500 back in October 2021 and he promised he would pay me back monthly but has not. He has made false promises(I have text messages) month after month that he would pay me but then he doesn't. This has screwed up my credit and put a financial burden on me. The issue is, I live in California and he lives in Arizona. I just want to get my life back on track. I hope this can be a pro bino case as well because I cannot afford to pay a lawyer in this circumstance. I feel like he took advantage of my kindness and the fact that I am legally blind.
