So, I’m homeless.

misterkinsey:

Not right now, but by the end of the month, I’ll be both without transportation and without housing. I’m terrified, and I could really use some help. Here’s a bit of info about my situation.

I have a job where I make $7.90 an hour, and I make about $800 a month.

I pay ~$200 a month in bills. If I miss even one payment, I will be taken to court and sued. I could not afford going to court and paying court costs. I also have a past due student loan that will go into deferment in August that I cannot currently pay.

I have $15 in my bank account right now.

There are exactly zero resources for homeless persons in my area: no homeless shelters, no 24 hour gyms, no housing assistance, no transportation assistance, no churches who offer assistance for things like housing.

I have a terrible credit rating, so purchasing a vehicle at this time is out of the question. I also lack a driver’s license.

I have been searching and searching, and there aren’t any houses/apartments within my budget/range of my place of employment.

There aren’t any rooms for rent nor are there any couches to surf.

I do have a chance for a roommate, but as he is not currently employed, it would be impossible for us to find a place within my three week deadline.

I am currently staying at my grandmother’s, but her landlady wants me gone before June 1st.

I have an opportunity to live with another roommate, but she is three hours away, and I would again be stuck with the “lack of work” issue.

I don’t have any family I can stay with, I don’t have any friends that I could both stay with and get back and forth to work, and I lack the ability to sleep in a car until I have enough funds to rent a place. In essence, I am, as they say, “up shit creek without a paddle”. I’m afraid, because I will be homeless and I am out of options.

I’m not asking for money, I’m asking for help. I really need someone to help me through this, someone who has possibly been through this before and could give me some advice on how to get through it. If you don’t have any direct advice, a reblog would be much appreciated. My life is basically on the line here, and I could really, really use some help.

Thank you,
Matthew

YOOOOOO any of my friends who have been homeless and broke before, some resources for a dude in need, please!
