He literally has no money to his name and no income. He is too unstable to hold down a job right now honestly.
When he was a student, he was completely dependent on financial aid to pay what living expenses he has. His family is on Section 8 housing and live in a really bad neighborhood. His father might even be a drug dealer.
Like you know how bad it is? His father threatened to kick him out on the streets in 20 degree ice and snow weather over a freaking burrito. I mean, a burrito! WTF?
So yeah I'm not going to refuse to help my friend. I know what it is like to be in such a position. Before my mother passed away, she had me so messed up from her lies and abuse that I couldn't hold down a job no matter how hard I tried. I know how it feels to be in such a hopeless state where you feel so powerless to do anything. Unlike other people that always expect those who are suffering the most to work and struggle the hardest, I am going to fight to ensure nobody that I know has to go through the same hell I had to.
I will give him the tools to help himself and ride his *** until he uses them though.
