hi. this past saturday (2/26) i turned 18 and was also thrown out for good from my moms house. i only have the clothes on my body, a backpack with a school issued chromebook and my phone.

i truly need financial assistance and a living situation established. i am applying to jobs as quickly as Indeed will let me. i also need a car. i don’t want to continue to live here in Tallahassee and want to move away and start over. if you can help in anyway PLEASE reach out :) every little bit helps

Gonna start off by saying I'm not new to Reddit but my old laptop blew up (literally, I would consider it a work of art if it were not horrifying), so this is a new profile. I cannot find the rules for here so hopefully I'm not breaking anything.

I basically live on TERF island ie. Britain and after a long wait have been told that I am scheduled to get an appointment for top surgery down in London which is a solid 500 miles from where I live, seven hours by train (I haven't gotten an updated passport because that's £80 and you can't really fly with open wounds which is what will happen once I got something off my chest), and a waiting period of four days in hospital followed by six weeks of recovery, and I have no idea whether I will have to go down to London to get the tubes out at the three week mark.

Tis all a mess, but I am at least glad to be getting it done; I was worried I would never get it done. Although, to be honest, with how things are right now I do not actually know when the surgery will be. It could be years.

I am also living only on universal credit. After catching the plague, I'm suffering from long COVID in the particularly unfun way and struggling to get by.

I am an artist though. If anyone wants any commissions, I have a link to my ko-fi down below just before the paypal. I kid you not when I say any amount helps. £10 can get me two weeks of food, I'm never fussy.

And thank you for enduring this long rant. Let me know if I need to change anything.

(With the pictures, the art style in the first few are slightly outdated, I have improved significantly with the most recent landscape piece having been done at the start of January.)

TL;DR: My sister (19F) is being financially abused. I'm looking for resources for her.

This situation both enrages and guts me every time I talk about it. For the past 6 months, my little sister has been the victim of violence, emotional abuse, and financial exploitation at the hands of her boyfriend. He destroyed her laptop and phone, so she's only able to communicate with my parents when he's present. During the course of their relationship, he's broken two leases, accumulated considerable debt, and put my sister on the brink of financial ruin. In spite of this, he refuses to let her work and depleted her funds by $15k within 3 months of dating. She's left twice and returned both times.

Are there any reputable transitional living programs in the U.S. for victims like my sister? I want to be more equipped to help her in the event she tries to leave again.

Any constructive feedback is sincerely appreciated.

Hello, my name is Mari, i'm 23 and from Brazil.

I suffer from depression, extreme anxiety and was diagnosed recently with burn out.

In addition to these issues, I live with my terrible family, an alcoolich mother and a very toxic sister my sister. My mon is kinda off dead height, my sister has a superior complex: she belittling me, says that the college course i took is for people who aren't smart enough to take a decent course or saying that my shitty little job (again , something that makes me very happy) doesn't help anyone but my ego because I have a superiority complex (I work with low-income teenagers).

I CANT TAKE NO MORE

My mon and sister have asked me several times already to resign my job because I'm going to “bring the corona virus home and kill her.”

ALMOST EVERYDAY My sistes and have the biggest tantrum in the world. Saying that either I must have a serious mental illness or I'm just a selfish, asshole, idiot, who only thinks of me and no one else.(just cuse i go out to work)

They also say that my traumas suffered in childhood do not explain me being like this, and that even if I was raped by all members of my family as a child it would not explain such an attitude.(again, working to get a better life)

Anyway, I can't take it anymore and I need to LEAVE**.** I live in constant fear, what I can do or say that won't cause a tantrum.

Thet said that if I don't improve my situation (basically do everything they wants) i will send me to a mental institution, but at the same time after saying all this "Do you think that i was hard? If something similar is repeated prepare yourself , because I know you very well, and I will finish you so much that you will want to kill yourself". (my sister)

I need to get out of this house, I live as a hostage.

So I decided that I need to get out of here. MY GOAL IS TO GET ABOUT ANY MONEY TO MY SAVINGS.PLS ANY HELP IS AMAZING, EVEN ONE DOLAR. I JUST NEED TO LEAVE.

For this I'm selling several items I have, trying to get freelance jobs because how much I gain i won't be able to handle myself alone, I suffer from anemia, a few months ago I was practically malnourished (not because I wanted to, but because depression and anxiety cause me enormous difficulty in eating). Soon I need to take a lot of supplements to stay healthy.

SO I ASK WITH AFFECTION THAT IF POSSIBLE HELP ME WITH A DONATION, IF NOT POSIBLE SOME GOOD ENERGY. ALL THE MONEY WILL GO TO MY SAVINGS (I WILL POST PRINTS) AND AS THINGS ARE OCCURRING I WILL NOTIFY EVERYONE.I HAVE NEVER POST IN HERE, SO IDK IF I SHOULD POST MY E-MAIL TO MY PAYPAL. IDK IM LOSTPLS HELP ME, I WILL BE FOREVER AND EVER GRATEFUL!

​

I NECER USED THIS, IDK WHAT I SHOULD DO: PUT MY PAYPAL E-MAIL. SORRY IM LOST

As a busy person, travelling most of the time and also working on a computer, you cannot rely on your usual sunglasses or prescription glasses. You will need better glasses that will aid you while you are out in the sun and also when you are working on the computer. Or when you are moving in and out of places too frequently.

A comfortable transition into the sunlight and back into normal light is what everyone would desire. You can not remind yourself to pull out your sunglasses every time you go out in the harsh light. If you are travelling by bus, your eyes are shielded in the shade of the bus. But just as your stop comes, you will have to fish for your sunglasses in the bag or simply move out in the blinding sunlight. Photochromic lenses are the better glasses that can help.

What are photochromic lenses?

Photochromic lenses are lenses that turn dark shade when exposed to bright light. They clear up just as soon as there is normal light or dim light. These lenses are also known as transition lenses or light adaptive lenses. The transition from dark to clear happens just as the light changes. It hardly takes few seconds to turn dark and fade back.

When you go outdoors with harsh sunlight, you instinctively shield your eyes with your hands to avoid getting the sudden flash of light. Your eyes hurt from all the sudden bright light. Your pupils shrink to get too much light in the eyes to avoid damaging the inside of the eyes. Similarly, when you enter into a dark room after coming from bright outdoors, you feel blinded. Your pupils slowly adjust to lack of light and pupils dilate to allow more light to enter your eyes.

When you wear transition glasses, you do not have to adjust to the sunlight, your glasses adjust the shade keeping your eyes protected.

How do photochromic lenses help you?

Photochromic lenses negate the need for sunglasses and you can wear the same glasses throughout the day. You don’t have to change your glasses whether you are in the sun or inside a room. Your glasses adjust according to the light. They are very convenient. Apart from convenience, let’s check out how these glasses can help you.

You have fewer chances of losing your glasses

When you use a pair of sunglasses and prescription glasses simultaneously, you have more chance of losing them. If you have a hectic schedule moving to a different place, you are sure to lose your glasses. When you use just one glasses for both indoors and outdoors, you have fewer chances of losing as you do not remove them all the time.

You look fashionable

Whether it is a sunny or cloudy day, you look fashionable every time. The shade of your transition glasses changes depending on the weather. You have a different look on a clear sky day, a cloudy day or a sunny day. The lenses transition into different shades giving you a different look every time.

Get transparent frame glasses to make your appearance glow out more. With different shades and transparent frame glasses, you appear stylish every time. These low key glasses bring out a different look on you.

You protect your eyes from UV rays

Photochromic lenses protect your eyes from both UVA and UVB rays. When you step outside in the harsh sunlight, the lenses darken up blocking the harsh light as well as UV rays that are in them. If you live in a high UV index region, these glasses are best for all weather conditions.

Comfortable vision when working on a computer

These glasses are also effective against blue light. When working on a computer, you will have less eye strain and other computer vision syndrome. You will have a comfortable vision and work for long hours without suffering from eye pain.

The glasses adjust the lenses to the blue lights emitting from all the devices. You can work comfortably. Also, your vision will be more clear than the regular glasses lenses.

Photochromic lenses are cost-effective

Photochromic lenses are cost-effective. They cost a bit more than your regular glasses or lenses. They also cost more than blue light blocking lenses. However, after getting these glasses, you will not need any additional coatings or glasses pair to aid your vision. Photochromic glasses are a single substitute for sunglasses, blue light glasses and fashion glasses. You do not need an extra coating of anti-UV or anti-glare to protect your eyesight. Transition glasses protect your eyes from UV rays, harsh sunlight and blue lights effectively. Also, these glasses give a clear and comfortable vision every time.

With all the benefits, the high price is justifiable. By buying these glasses, you are saving on other glasses pairs that you would have to buy.

Transition lenses from Specscart cost only £55, which is much cheaper in comparison to other big brand names. Get these lenses on stylish transparent frame glasses and look fabulous every time without actually spending a lot.

In February of 2020, after being physically attacked by my then spouse, in my own home, I finally gained the courage to get out, running as hard and fast as I could to get away. I moved states overnight, lost most of my belongings including clothes, a vehicle, and housing necessities. I had just enough money to survive for two months, and in my mind's eye that was enough to find employment in a new town and a new state. Nearly immediately after leaving, we were all hit hard by the pandemic. This crippled my ability to gain employment and has caused a hardship that was previously out of my scope of imagination. Because I left of my own volition, I had no chance of unemployment assistance. Due to a back injury from my military service, I cannot pick up just any employment. I have found, for the first time in my life, that I have been in desperation of finding employment. I made the hardest decision of my life then, but also the very best decision I could have made. Freedom is everything.

I'm fundraising for desperately needed assistance after fleeing a physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive marriage of 6 years in February of 2020. Upon leaving, I never could have foreseen and unknowingly landed myself, as so many of us did, in the middle of a pandemic-based economy. I have debated on taking this final step for months now. I truly have arrived at my moment of last resort. I cannot afford March rent, much less a new tube of toothpaste. Currently, I have about $5 in change to my name.

After a year of living on pennies and searching for employment, I have finally found myself in the scary situating of having zero money to my name. I had high hopes of restarting my life and getting it in order. Now my hopes have shrunk to just having the ability to avoid eviction and be able to purchase the things that I need to survive.

Currently, I am in immediate need of help. Rent is due on the 1st of March, water and electric come on the 24th of February and I have no resources to assist me in the matter. If you have read this and feel that you have even an extra dollar, it would mean so much to me if you could help out. I'm sorry, embarrassed, and pained to be asking, but I have run out of choices.

Thank you for reading

I just turned 20 not too long ago and my abusive father kicked me out in the middle of a pandemic..most of my family lives in another country, so I really am alone. I hate to ask but I’m really desperate and have nobody to ask.

Hello everyone, I was referred here from tumblr! I’m Sydney, I’m currently living in a hotel and I am uninsured. I have an important doctor’s appointment coming up on January 15th that I will have to pay for out of pocket. The appointment and labs will cost $500. I’m looking for any assistance with paying for this. PayPal is the only payment method I have at the moment. My email is beautifuldad15@gmail.com. I would so appreciate any help. Thank you!

I just created a reddit account because I'm desperate and trying to find anything I can. I've been living with my mom and her boyfriend but now they're moving away and cannot afford to take me with them. This is really sudden, but now that I've got the news, I've got until January to find something, and I just paid them rent to continue living where I'm at, which makes it all that more harder. I currently only have $330 in my bank account. I get paid next on the 13th, then the 27th. I'm terrible at saving money, so advice on that front may help as well, but I desperately need to find somewhere to live/be a roommate/move into.

I live in the Portland area (Oregon City right now), am 27, am a girl (trans), and ride a bike. I don't smoke, I have no pets (though I wish I had a cat). I can provide a paypal link if need be, I can set up something for donation (I don't really know much tbh), but mostly, I just want to find a roommate, and fast. I don't know what I'll do if I can't.

I have reached out to charities and my local community but I'm told that there are no funds available. I have been served with an eviction and disconnect notice on my utilities. I have no family I can turn to for help. A friend who I worked with many years ago has agreed to let me stay at his place rent free to do some healing but I live in Texas and he in Florida. It will cost $3500 for the move. I have a small online boutique where I generate my income I normally average 3-4 thousand dollars per month...

I recently accepted a job in Miami and am moving down from Indiana. I will be there on Thanksgiving and had expected family members to let my wife and daughter stay with them in Pensacola but it turns out that they don't have room due to a lot of other family staying there for the holidays. I'm really worried about us all being homeless ( i had expected to live out of my car for a couple weeks until we get paid). I don't know what to do and am reaching out here to see if anyone can help. We have a small female cat too. I know this is a long shot, but if anyone can help, please reach out to me.

I moved to Vegas with, who was at that time, one of my best friends in January. A couple months ago I was informed by him that I could no longer stay in the apartment we had been renting. At the time I was unable, and still am, to move anywhere else. So for the past 2 weeks I've been homeless. Usually sleeping at cheap motels or in my car and showering at truck stops. I just need a couch to crash on or even the basement floor. Somewhere I can stay for a short amount of time while I save up money to get my own place. I have a good job and can pay about 300 dollars a month to rent. I just need a place to stay for a few weeks or no more than 2 months if possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi y'all!

I'm moving to Denver in a few weeks, and have a likely apartment that will be available 1 July. I'm planning to get into town between 5 and 10 June (depending on plane ticket prices) and will have my cat. Hotels/AirBnB are crazy pricey. Anyone have a guest room (or need a house-sitter)?

We're both easygoing and fairly quiet, I'll be temping/freelancing, she'll be busy napping and being adorable. I'll clean up after both of us and clean the guest room before I move into my apartment -- really clean it. I'll even try to buy pizza or beverages once or twice.

If you have a space to share with me and this [loon] (https://www.instagram.com/p/BEtoPdrBeUG/), please let me know!

I just got back from teaching English in Seoul, South Korea for five years. I came to Madision, WI because I had friends in the area and I thought they would be able to help me with the transition. They turned out to be less helpful than I had hoped.

I'm planning to go back to Korea in February next year. In the mean time, I have found a job and I will be getting paid this Friday. I have not been successful in finding a place to stay, however. I may be moving into a co-op on November 1st, but I need a place to stay until then. I am on a very tight budget. I've been staying in a hostel this week, but I'm cutting it very close on my remaining funds.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My ex, who was waiting impatiently for me to file for disability and have someone reach a determination for me, has terminated the lease on our apartment without any warning. My sister and I are living here with her on unemployment [which is now under scrutiny and being withheld due to the employer claiming she voluntarily quit (when she did not) and wasn't terminated] and me only receiving food stamps at the moment.

If I leave my sister to go into emergency housing, she will have nowhere to go. She's asked my mother for help, but she says she won't help us both because she doesn't want my sister helping me. Her advice was to 'cut me loose' because I will only 'drag her down'. We cannot live with our mother in any case though as, even if she had room, her and her husband are volatile and we're living here because he got violent with my sister.

I have appointments with the social security office in the first week of December, but that doesn't leave me time to wait for them to determine if I will get my benefits, as we must be out of our apartment on December 31, whereas my ex told both of us we could stay until the lease was up on June 30 last month. We didn't intend to stay that long, but one month to find an apartment when we have extremely limited resources is impossible.

We need help badly. We would prefer help to move into the cheapest apartment we can find in downtown Phoenix (as there is better availability for jobs for my sister and more flexible transportation), but even a place to stay while we find a way to move there would work. We can share a floor. We can pay for our own food (as I have food stamps).

Please help. We are running out of options and, to be honest, we are scared.

My son and I are homeless in Portland. Currently crashing at a friends house which happens to be a 1 bedroom with 4 people crammed in(not even a full size couch to sleep on). Been here about 30 days and toes are being stepped on. We have a room we're getting in Dana Point Cali, but it's not until January. We could really use some help right now as we move forward. Anything in Portland or southern Cali would be great!

Me and my fiance were attempting a fresh start. She tried coming over to me in Illinois where, at the time, I was living with my grandmother. At first she had no problems with my fiance but after she learned that she was atheist (My grandmother being a pastor), she would have none of it and tried whatever she could to break us apart. It started with passive aggressive comments but escalated quickly to accusations of stealing. After we moved out she came to our home and accused her specifically of stealing over $1500 worth in linens. Bed sheets. Now we could hardly afford the housing we had when she and I both had jobs, but she had lost her job due to an unexpected pregnancy and a few medical complications at the same time. She miscarried a few weeks after she lost her job. We could not afford anywhere with the dismal minimum wage of Illinois and just being there was misery for her, so we decided to pack up and leave. A friend in the Portland area suggested we come over here and he could host us for a little over two weeks. At first I was going to come over and see if we could find a job while my fiance stayed with a friend of hers back in San Jose where she was from. Things quickly fell apart after the first week, her friends could no longer house her and her parents decided it would be best to send me up here before I could even find a place for myself. My friend who offered to host me is moving out and another friend in the area has backed out at the last moment here because his wife doesn't trust new people easily. We're in a bit of a bind and just need any help we can get. We would hope for a place to stay but just anything at this point would help. We are both willing to exchange services, anything from running errands and picking stuff up, babysitting, housecleaning. My fiance has experience with pet sitting and references. We currently only have about $50 between the two of us for food.

Hi folks, I'm Sarah and I'm traveling the US with my boyfriend and our dog, giving away free pie all over the US. Since we are so mobile and since we are in a new city every 3 days, I wanted to make the following offer.

If we're in your city and you need to leave quickly and you'd like to go to one of the other cities on our tour, you are welcome aboard.

This isn't our primary purpose for our road trip but I want to do as much good in the world as possible. Here's a link to our schedule page

Hey, my fiance and I are leaving this week to go to KC and start a new life.. We've battled obstacles and overcome them all. This is our final step to get away from the poor choices weve made in friends. We are clean, polite, and willing to work for whatever we receive. Also completely broke, so hopefully a job or placr to stay while we find jobs could be suggested/provided. Thanks!

Original post in r/assistance, cross-posting for my husband, /u/clobberknockers, to see if I can find him some help...

Hiya, Reddit. I didn't think it'd come to the point that I'd even feel the need to try this, but, here I am. I'm currently in a horrible situation that I need to get out of. I'm living in northern California with my parents, whose relationship is dwindling each day with constant drug and alcohol abuse, mixed with growing resentment for one another. I've tried the best I can to help things run more smoothly, but they always fall apart. I'm trying to find a way out of where I am and hopefully closer to my wife. I'm currently living in an area where the economy is all but dead, and the only way to get a job is to either have the right last name (lots of small communities), or start selling drugs. Seeing as how I can't really do either of those things (damned last name and unwillingness to go to prison), I'm asking for a hand to get me into a better position. I don't know how long I can dance around the subject, so I'll just come out and say it. I'm looking for someone to help me out with a place to stay in Portland or Seattle until I can get working and get on my feet. My wife has generously offered to help by saving up money for me to help me move, but it really boils down to finding someone who's willing to help someone get back on track, get working, and build a life for themselves. I can offer home-cooked meals, good conversation, a gaming buddy, or someone who will keep the place moderately clean and stay out of your hair. I'm able to pay some for rent and food and such, and as soon as I gain employment, I'll be able to pay more as I save to get out on my own. Please help me get back on track, I don't know how much longer I can handle this.

And, believe me, I know I'm asking for a hell of a lot, but honestly, at this point, I've got no other options. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope someone who can help gets ahold of me.

I'm currently saving up for a car, and for possible rent during the next few months, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask around now, so I can get an idea of what I'll be looking at. Also if there are any jobs hiring around the area, please let me know, thanks!

girl friend just kicked me out.Her and my mom live in the same complex and i can't stay with her.I just need a place to stay while i go to say labor and get some money up I will be more then happy to clean or what ever you need or let me pay the rent at a later time.Tampa bay area will be better

41 year old recent college graduate starting my first career! I took a job in St. Louis near Forest Park. I am supposed to arrive on approx. January 10th, 2012. I am arriving with no place to stay or resources to rent a place until I get paid. I could use a place to stay if anyone knows of any local resources to which I should speak, maybe someone works at a hotel and can get a great rate for a couple to a few weeks(that can be paid upon check-out) or has an empty room I could use. I know I'll need the majority of my first check to rent a house...which I still need to find. Any kind of helpful input would be appreciated!

So, a little while back, I had a hastily constructed plan to move to Oregon, and unfortunately my plan would leave me homeless. However a friend helped me have a few more weeks to improve said plan, and now I've got somewhere to stay when I get there. However I still need a way to actually go. I have about $75, and I should have another $15 coming, but I need a little bit more to get a bus ticket. A Greyhound costs somewhere between $110-$205 plus tax, depending on how far out I book it. So I'm trying, but I could use some help. If you can give me anything, from a dollar to the whole ticket, it would help. Or if there's any sort of work I could do for it, just let me know.

I'm a 22 year old guy who just lost his job at a local computer repair shop. They hired someone with more laptop experience than me. I was discharged from the navy after 1 month because of a minor medical issue in February. The job market in Mississippi is dead. I don't have a vehicle. All I have is a computer and the rest of May rent paid until I will probably move back with my dad. It kills me that if it wasn't for me not being on my feet, he could probably retire.

I'm looking for an escape. I'd like to go somewhere with more opportunity where I might actually find work. I'm not above being a housekeeper to earn a room and a meal. I'm willing to relocate anywhere. I can scrap enough for a bus ticket even.

No drugs, alcohol couple times a year on occasion like a birthday party or something.

I realize that two people fresh out of rehab aren't the safest bet but we are looking for a drug and alcohol free environment with people who stay busy. We have car but we don't have jobs yet. This seems like a heavy burden and I feel awkward even asking but we really don't want to be drunks anymore and are doing everything we can to make sure the transition back in to normal life will be safe and smooth.

Hey guys, not sure how this sub really works, but long story short I had moved across country to Texas to help pay off some student loans while living with some relatives. Suffice to say I could not get a job here the last 3 months. My relationship with my co-signing parents is on a wire. I just found out I am green-lit to start at a higher paying job back in Seattle (where I had lived the last two years). Everything is set, including an apartment with a very close friend, my only problem is we need some money to move back so I can start getting on track again. This problem also effects my brother who is still taking out loans halfway through his education.

Is there some kind of federal assisting program for people that just need to relocate for job reasons?
