It’s my birthday , my dad’s in the hospital, too broke to afford food because I had to get my car fixed to see him. It’s been a rough one. Any advice to pick myself up? I was really wanting to save money to get a cake for myself and my 3 year old son to share but since I had to get my car fixed I only had enough to get him dinner.
Hi everyone,
Outlier.ai pays a little more than beer money for programming tasks. I would say that I'm a skilled programmer, but unfortunately, I can't sign up because my country is not supported yet.
So, I'm asking if anyone is interested in making an account on the platform, I will perform the programming tasks and we get to divide the profits.
I'm sure we can get to a win-win here!
Hi 45m. Lost job, about out of saving. Try to go to shelter. But most are full. Anyjobs that will help would be great? Medical condition stops me from driving. Was at hotel but money ran out. Sign up with every day pay place.
Down and out Need help to hygiene products and bus pass for interviews next week. Recently got off the streets after a tragic start to 2024. Divorced a cheating pregnant (not mine) wife. Then my oldest son passed away in March. Tryna get back on my feet.
I've applied at least 3 different times and can't even get a rejection. It just sends me in an infinite loop of re-applying.
Now i am in 3rd wold country but community do no accept me. There was a man who told me to go throw the boarder illigaly in europe. But there is a chance if i have ever get threw the border illigaly i automaticlly become homeless. What my possibilities in other country, did that Man said truth about myself and did it worth to do such a long and dangerous way.
My wife and I moved into a house we found in on Facebook market place but we had to go yesterday to get a protective order against him. He's doing a retaliatory eviction. We didn't know he did drugs and was racist, sexist, and homophobic. We couldn't leave the house for three days because he removed us from the ADT alarm and so we were scared to leave. This happened because I spilled Cinnamon Toast Crunch and he screamed at me and he started cutting off our utilities. We couldn't shower. I was afraid to sleep. My wife is so emotionally exhausted and I'm trying so hard to be positive but now we are forced to stay in a hotel that is the cheapest option and it's 520 a week. I want to give up.
Where does someone go? Prohibited at motor vehicles and parking lots, entrances and exits of buildings,, freeway access points, (on and off ramps?), roadways, bus stops, center medians banks and atms, restaurant's ,,,why say its legal? And aggressive panhandling illegal. Wtf, penalty of up to one year in jail and 1k dollars.
Hi everyone, I'm not the one to ask for help but I am at my wits end. I have no problem posting my eviction court notices as well as my apartment ledger to show how much I owe. I owe about 3k in rent. I lost my job at the end of August due to frequent call outs because my Dad was sick and i'm his only child and family member . I've been doing odd jobs and i've been able to pay off some money little by little and while i've been able to get my rent down from 4,700 to 3k, it's not enough and ive been summoned to court. I started a new job on November 1st, I haven't gotten paid yet but going forward I will be able to pay rent but I need help with arrears. I reached out to all of the social service agencies near me and everywhere told me that they are out of funding. I had a church start working with me regarding assistance only for them to start ignoring my emails and texts as my court date is approaching (dec 4). Anything, and I mean anything would help me in this moment. Your kindness is appreciated.
When I became homeless my Aunt offered me room and board in her apartment. The thing is she needs help clearing out and cleaning a room that use to belong to my degenerate drug addict uncle.
Every inch of the room is covered in mouse droppings and there are soiled piles of clothes on the floor that he covers with random blankets and pour vinegar on. Of course there are also pee jars and drug paraphernalia everywhere
It’s a total nightmare but as a homeless person it’s also kind of a blessing. If I can clean it I have a permanent place to stay.
As of now I am in the living room which I can not express how grateful for. Today is garbage day and I really want to make some head way in my Uncle’s old room.
If anyone is willing to pitch in and help I could really use it. In DESPERATE need of mice traps, garbage bags, cans, cleaners etc. Also need food to eat but that’s a story for a different subreddit.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this post.
I also have pictures for those who want to see the extent of the messy
Is there any grants available for utilities Northern California state or federal? Really need some help.
Not asking for anything but prayers/good vibes. I’m just feeling extra defeated lately. Thank you!
I live in a very unstable living position and want to have everything ready to go just in case I have to leave quickly. Anybody else do this? Tips? Backpack recommendations?
My husband, I, and our dog are homeless with a lot of debt. Right now we have $0 with 30 miles in our gas tank and no food. Does anyone know any resources that may help we have tried food pantries and shelters but trying to see if there is anything else out there? Housing and food resources would be very helpful! Trying to prevent going through another winter in the car. Thanks in advance
Has anyone applied for a tribal loan? Can you contact me privately?
Hello I thought you might be interested in supporting this fundraiser, even a small donation could help Vicki Roberts reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word. Thanks for having a look!

I feel like the burden and responsibilities are on me and my sister. Ever since my father passed away, my sister took finance responsibility and both of us are just working minimum wage jobs. We both applied ton of jobs but can’t even make $20hr. My mother used to work part time job in fast food and no longer works because they had to let her go. Other brother is disabled. I feel like in our relatives, most of them have business and their kids have gone to university and have pretty good careers. They always look beneath us and I tried to ask for advice many times but all I got in return was negative feedback and judgment.
My mother and sister says just finish your degree and our finance situation can improve. We have been dealing with family problems for years and it has become so toxic mentally. There is no job opportunities in our area. Multiple people recommend just move to another state. And we did go. The new place is living cost is higher but jobs pay pretty well and there is many opportunity. I don’t know if we should take the risk and move
My sister in law is struggling, she's staying with one of her kids dad in Tustin. Recently she got news that she qualified for Section 8 in Anaheim after having applied about 10 years ago, then all of a sudden she got denied because she no longer lives in Anaheim. Is there any way around this that anyone knows? Anaheim is pretty expensive and I can't believe they would have expected someone to struggle for years to try to live there in hopes of eventually getting section 8 without being able to move around for more affordable areas.
Im going to need thermals, mine arent warm enough, neither are my blankets, or jacket, i know after thanksgiving everything will be sold out. Id run out of gas right around that weekend, and banks will be closed to cash a check. I think next monday or tuesday il need to dump the car and idk what will happen then ...
So I am 24 y/o female living with my sister in las vegas. She's been charging me rent which I have no problem with. The problem is she keeps raising how much i have to pay and when i tell her I can afford it she tells me she doesn't care. I have about a month until I move to Florida for a program but I do not have any extra money to give her. I work at an arcade that's most likely going out of business and cannot pick up any extra hours. Is there any advice anyone can give me. I leave for Florida on new years eve
Mostly in the back seat of my car, i wish i thought of this ages ago, i needed prescription glasses, how would anyone know. Im reading novels, on #49 for this year, just parked at walmart with some snacks and i guess il live on tacos from jack in the box, and buy more candy and cookies, brownie bites,,,2 liter coke is cheaper, im trying to cut the coffee. Although ive got only a couple weeks b4 my car goes to scrap...i hope the place is open when i run out of money for gas 🙃im going to have to start all over and find a place i can lay on my back and read, when the cars gone..i guess jail is filled with people that did not shoot the officer to get away...🤣💦
So I have housing paid for until Wednesday of this week and willing to let it go for near to nothing or a trade of some sort I’m not gonna take more or anything you don’t have, but I have to take something because I paid for this place if you’re interestedreach out to me, but I’m only dealing with females not males. Sorry no offense
Hey everyone,
I’m really struggling with a situation, and I could use some advice. A loved one of mine is in a really tough spot right now—they’re on the brink of homelessness. I’ve tried offering help in every way I can think of, whether it’s financial support, resources, or even just a safe place to stay. But they’re refusing any kind of assistance and insist on handling things on their own.
It’s incredibly hard to watch them go through this, and I’m at a loss for what to do. I want to respect their wishes and not push them, but at the same time, I feel so powerless. It’s taking a toll on me emotionally, and I’m struggling to figure out how to support them without losing myself in the process.
How can I be there for them without overstepping? And how do I protect my own mental health when I’m so worried and heartbroken over their situation?
My living situation has recently ended abruptly. I hit the ground running and I’m actively reaching out to local resources. I am employed full time and own my car outright. I have a lot more options than other people but I am terrified. I’m not sure if I’m looking for advice or just a kind word of encouragement.
So, I came to Milwaukee on a work contract. Things didn’t pan out well and the place filled their need with FT staff and im cancelled. I have fount a FT position here and am hoping to start asap. But I’ve since not been able to pay my rent. I notified my landlord previously of the situation and was told to update when possible. I have and have yet to receive a response. I fear eviction. So, I’m looking for options in Milwaukee… I have a dog. If worse comes to shove I believe I have a place for him but I don’t believe me. I’ll appreciate any advice on how to navigate this. Thank you!
