Still coping with homelessness and doing my best to count my blessings when I can.
Though I still haven't found a permanent home within my means, I'm happy to share that I have a safe place to stay since last night and for the next six nights. It's a huge relief not to have to scrabble every couple of days to find a place to lay my head (including the breakroom at work), and I'm so grateful to have access to hot showers and a bed.
However...
The bad news is that this comes at the cost of leaving me severly cash strapped. Between my checking account and my pocketbook, I've got exactly $40 to last until my next paycheck (August 31). I have groceries enough to feed me the next few days and under a quarter tank of gas (the only driving I do is back & forth to work). So, as much as I don't want to ask for help again, I must because next Thursday is still ten days away. The town food shelf is open one morning a week, and that's while I'm scheduled to work. I would greatly appreciate any donations people can spare to bridge me to the 31st.
As always, thank you in advance for your understanding and kindness!💗Even a reblog could make a crucial difference in my situation.

#tw: homelessness#coping with homelessness#since this journey began I've been fortunate to get by#get by with some help from my friends���💙💜#just to clarify a bit:#the price of food has skyrocketed in my area#for example - a simple loaf of store baked Italian or French bread at Walmart has increased by nearly half#(the cheapest bread they sell)#even while they just reduced the loaf size from 16oz to 14oz#basically I'm paying 30-50% more for all food I buy#and I rarely buy meat; peanut butter & cheese are usually my sole source of protein
