Brother, it says in the Qur'aan;

“God will not take you to task for those of your oaths which you may utter without thought, but He will take you to task for oaths which you have sworn in earnest. The breaking of an oath must be atoned for by the feeding of ten needy persons with more or less the same food as you normally give to your own families, or by clothing them, or by the freeing of one slave. He who cannot afford any of these shall fast three days instead. This shall be the atonement of your oaths when you have sworn [and broken them]. But be mindful of your oaths.” [Table Spread — “Al Ma’idah” 5: 89]

It would not be better if you will go to mosque and ask if they could help you with the 10 people :? Even the poor has their pride :-[
