My mum keeps borrowing money from me and can't pay it back. I know she's my mum and I don't mind helping her wherever I can but the amounts she 'desperately needs asap' are getting bigger and its happening more often now.
She is asking me to take out a loan and to go into to debt to help her out as debt collectors are closing in and are going to take all her stuff from her house.

She hasn't got no baller life style so I don't know where this money is going.
What should I do?

Yeah I know it's hard to say 'no' to the person that brought you into this world and made you in the man you are today, but going into debt for her ain't going to help either of you in the long run if this carries on.
Sounds like there's something underlying she ain't telling you like maybe a gambling problem that needs professional help to fix, or something like that which is the real cause and is what is running up these debts so fast.
You need to find the route of the problem and not just pay her debts or it will never end.
Could your mom be a crack head for example?
