Hello. My name is R.D. and I have found myself in a situation that I don’t know how to get out of. Back in March of this year I got Divorced and my ex-wife got my home, my work truck, (it was in her name for insurance purposes), and almost all of my money. I am from Tennessee, but I had a so-called friend here in Alaska that said if I could come up, I could stay with him and his wife till I got on my feet. He said not to worry about anything that he had me a job, winter clothes and a vehicle I could use. So, I took the last of my money and got a bus ticket to Seattle, Washington which took 3 travel days. Then I bought a plane ticket to the airport in Anchorage. I had a total of $20 bucks to my name. As I am sitting on the plane waiting to take off, my friend texted me and said he couldn’t help me out any longer. His wife was a friend of my ex and he hadn’t told her I was coming up until that day and she said I couldn’t stay with them and so he couldn’t help me. I found myself sitting at the airport in Anchorage with no money, place to stay or anyone I knew to call for help. I was totally alone because the only friends I had back home was my wife’s friends and family. Also, on the day I arrived in Alaska, there was over 4 feet of snow on the ground, and it was 14 degrees outside. When I left Tennessee, it was around 75 degrees’, so I only had TN clothes. I spent my first 2 nights at the airport wondering what I was going to do, during which I spent 12 of my 20 bucks on soda’s so I was down to $8 bucks. I left out of the airport into what I considered a blizzard on foot. I spent my first night on the streets and the temp got down to -8 that night. The next day I called around to every homeless shelter and service I could find, and no one could help me, just said they were at max. Turns out there are a lot of homeless in Anchorage. I was desperate and so I placed an ad on Craigslist stating my situation and some people donated me some winter clothes and a guy let me stay in his basement and do day work till I could get a room. About a month later I got a room in a home and do day work to make it. I have been here in Anchorage for 9 months and I am to the point of desperation again. I work and make around $550 a week. I pay child support of $450 a month, rent for a room in a house of $800 a month, plus I have to pay the mortgage on my home where I don’t get to live any longer because I want my kids to have a roof over their heads. It is $600 a month and I pay for my phone and other expenses like my food and for a ride back and forth to work because I can’t afford a vehicle. It is again winter here in Alaska and we have about 3 feet of snow on the ground. I am about to lose my room because the owner is selling the place and rent up here is outrageous. I can’t afford a deposit on a place or a motel so I may be on the street soon. I can’t afford to get my kids anything for Christmas and that kills me. So, I have found myself in a desperate situation again. If anyone could help me get on my feet, I would appreciate any help I could get. I figure $2000 would be enough to get me a place, caught up on my monthly bills and get my kids something. Thanks for listening.
