I need a place to plug in for the winter. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a 50 yr old woman. I'm a nice person. I'm clean. I don't drink or do drugs but I don't care if anyone smokes weed. I'm a quiet person. I stick to myself. I buy what I need. Don't ask anything from anyone. I live in my conversion van. It's my home. I bought it so I will never be homeless again no matter where I go. I've been living in it for about a year plugged into a friend's house but it's no longer a place I can stay. Not anyones fault. No hard feelings. Friendship still in tact. I just simply can not stay here any longer. For a few months now I've been out of work due to surgeries, infection, ect, It hasn't been kind to my body or my wallet. BTW BE Good To Your Kindneys. Drink Water. No kidding. This came at a bad time. This whole thing. It just hit like a ton of bricks. I've talk to everyone I can here. I tried getting one of those cash app accounts.. $SerenaMeachele ( just in case anyone feels generous) but I haven't made a cent on tiktok, Instagram, ect. And really, I don't know what to say. Help? So, I have no money, I'm still looking for work that im not going to be killing myself doing. I have to move my van. Like now. Like now now. I have nowhere to put it. Nothing to offer. And no.. not that either.. get your mind out of the gutter.lol And I guess I'm asking for help. To be honest, I don't know how... but I'm asking. Help? Seriously, I'm really asking here. Help! Help! Like, someone tell me what to do. I need an adulter adult. I'm screwed. I've already called every church, charity (salvation army, ect) Nobody has funds. And I get it. There's alot of people who need help. The thing is, I needed help before the van. Getting the van, fixing it up, buying what I needed to live in it, all of it, I worked my a$$ off for it. And then my kidney tried to go out. My left kidney. They took my right one 3 years ago. I'm way ahead of where I was a year ago. I was proud of myself before this. Was. Now.. I don't know. Here I am. Thinking about selling my van and everything in it. Back to square one. 2 duffle bags and a back pack. Homeless. I'm scared. I really am. This might be a desperate leap of what little faith I have left. But here I am. Writing a Craig's list ad. Asking for help. I don't want to sell my van. It's my home. It's where I feel safe. And to do what? Run out of money in a hotel?? I can't go backwards. My van, my home, I can't let this go. Not without doing everything I can. All I need is a place to plug in, (bathroom access would be great) where I can find a job, save some money, and get to where I was originally headed before all this. Almost everyone I know here in Newton lives in apartments. I can't plug into an apartment. So, do you have any ideas? Because I'm fresh out or I wouldn't be doing this. Do you have a couple of dollars to spare for gas? Do you have a friend that works at a place that can help me? Anything would help. Please.
