I hope that things get better for you and that you find a way to make money to the point that you no longer have to face the possibility of homelessness. In case, this does turn into a reality, I made a list of stuff I struggled with (below) when I was homeless earlier this month. Again, I really hope your situation improves and am sorry to hear about what you are going through. To help us help you, do you have any idea about what might begin to make this better?

1. There are different degrees of homelessness. For example, living on a friend's couch vs. on the streets vs. in the school's 24 hour library.

2. Problems I faced included finding a place to shower, a place to sleep, to do laundry, and a place to store belongings. This can be trickier than it sounds. (I used my school library to sleep, a gym to shower, and a laundromat for laundry, and kept only one bag of items or just 3 outfits and one blanket which is all that would fit. I hid that bag in the library with a note in it that I would pick it up later that day with my phone number. Luckily nothing was stolen.)

3. Before you become homeless find a place where you can have your mail sent, even a PO Box will do.

4. As soon as you become homeless, sign up for a section 8 and public housing. They will need a way to reach you so step 3 is important.

5. Shelters are sometimes all full, have limited hours, and other problems.

6. I lost my health insurance while homeless because I couldn't verify my residency.

I hope you don't have to experience that. If you have insurance, maybe even checking in to a psychiatric hospital would be an improvement over living on the streets. I am very sorry to hear that you are facing this, and I hope things get better fast.
