Our advice to the questioner and her husband is to be patient and strive in lawful earnings. Allah provides a way out for whoever fears Him and sustains him from where he does not expect. As for the husband borrowing with interest (riba), it is forbidden. What is with Allah cannot be attained through disobeying Him. Therefore, he must repent and resolve not to return to it.
