Sorry to hear that you're in the same situation, its pretty surreal. I keep being told this kind of thing is a lesson. Well, perhaps to Donald Trump, but hey, I worked for 10 years volunteer and paid for destitute people, never even considered treating them as "less than myself" or patronizing anyone, I think I'd learn more from a different lesson.I've called and I've called, both the area in which I live and outlying areas made appotingments which are the equivelent of dead internet links. I'd rather they just say, 'we can't help outright than have you come in for a useless appointment. Because I'm single and don't have children I'm pretty well at the bottom of the list.
I was told about a hotel, but I saw it, and seriously decided I would rather pitch a borrowed tent somewhere. I'm not snobby, but this was dangerously filthy, needle strewn, vomit in the hallways, fights outside the room kind of thing.
"Welfare" used to have emergency loans for this kind of thing, $500.000 now the maximum loan is 20.00Now I'm to exhausted to try anything else. I'm certainly not saying crime is okay, but it sure makes me understand why people pass bad cheques, or sell their medication.
Thanks for your letter, though, I think I've about exhausted my options. So strange I've been accepted to University for January, but I may be on a park bench until then.
For all its worth, Good luck to you Abby, and thanks for "buttin in"
