Urgent Assistance Request

Hello,

I am homeless and currently located in Seattle/King County area.

Brief summary of my story, I have been homeless for a year now. I was evicted from my apartment due to a small flood. There is a huge story behind that but ever since, I have been on survival mode. I have tried every resource you can think of out there. Shelters (if experienced would know) around my area are corrupted and poorly ran. I have contacted a few new shelters but either they are filled or I have been put on a waitlist.

Nothing out there has gotten me over “the hump”.

Majority of these resources require you to have mental health disabilities &/or substance abuse problems in-which neither pertain to me. One thing relatable is I am a minor THC user here and there.

At this point, if I could just live out of a car, would do my life wonders – I have been homeless in the past but lived out of a SUV for almost 4 months and was able to save $18k working two jobs and a few side gigs. Unfortunately, my license is suspended due to fines totaling up to $1.4k. This if I had the bandwidth and mental capacity would take to court due to these fines coming from 6-7 years ago in-which I thought were expunge/paid. I can start a payment plan but I have no funds to do so.

Another kicker is due to the new social services rules, I am now only eligible for one last month of food benefits – even in my situation, I will not receive food benefits next month + Someone just stole my last $75 yesterday (a-whole-nother-story).

Can someone please give me another shot at this? If it wasn’t for my little sister and mother, I would have given up a long time ago. They are both overseas.

I feel like I am fighting for my life at this point.

I have a great resumé with plenty of experience in Hospitality, Entertainment, & Recs. This including having experience in Management. I have had plenty of opportunities to find great work and even have gotten job offers but I could never commit. If only you all knew what goes on in these shelters… my peace of mind has been compromised while going through these shelter facilities. Not only that but you can get kicked out of these facilities for anything, so having a roof over my head became priority. It was a full-time job surviving in these shelters.

This month, I have now slept at the airport 11 times. Last night I was caught, an officer told me they have now began their winter sweeps and if caught again, I could be arrested &/or trespassed. So far, I think I will have to risk it.. if I get arrested.. I go somewhere warm + safe. Usually I would ofcourse stem away from these types of situations but I’m on survival mode.

Ideas:

• ⁠A couch/floor/garage? – I am not a thief and a very clean person.. annoyingly suffer from OCD (lol) • ⁠U-Hauls are $20 a day? I do not mind at all sleeping in a U Haul. • ⁠Does anyone have a hooptie or broken down car I can crash in? – I will not plan on driving anywhere without proper ID. Words are words but I will not take advantage. • ⁠Anyone have connections to anything that I may not know already? 9/10 resources will just give you the “run-around”. For ex: 2-1-1 or 988

I am ready to work and will be willing to work for any help. I will pay back any expense necessary to get me out of this situation. I’m in a big hole that I need hands to get myself out of.

I sell clothing and have been for years and can make a great chunk of money out of it but I’m unable to go head on in my situation. The money stolen from me yesterday was from selling clothes.

I am willing to take a drug test and agree on a background check if necessary. I am just a fun loving guy that needs another chance.

Anything will help. Kind words are appreciated. Thank you & Warm Regards.
