So this is my story. I recently was homeless for about 4 years in Denver
Colorado it honestly was the hardest most humbling experience in my life. After
my mother moved back to Florida to take care of my grandmother I found myself
in a relationship I no longer wanted to be in unfortunately that relationship
came with the only roof over my head. I found myself sleeping outside and
eventually upgraded to tents and camps. Unfortunately what comes along with
being homeless in a city with the urban camping ban is it cost to leaving
forced to move losing your stuff being accosted by residents and police
officers if you nonprofits will help you out but during Kobe there was no place
to take a shower and all of this I’m telling you because it leads to my social
anxiety getting worse and throughout all of this I maintained a job of 9 hours
a week and it was only $90 a week that’s not enough to live on I was also a
victim of sexual assault that I did not report and I’m only telling you this to
further explain my downward spiral. Anyways about 6 months ago I woke up and
decided I didn’t want to live this life anymore and I happen to have a very
good friend who might call a sister who let me move into her apartment in her
second bedroom now she lost her job and we are both looking for work is very
scary experience for me seeing as how I have not done this for a very long time
the fear of failure is knocking heavy on my door. Our monthly bills all
together about two grand and October is coming up really fast and while we both
have active job applications and I possibly have a job lead we’re both very
worried that we might get an eviction then about a week ago I wrecked my bike I
busted my face up really good I ate concrete I’m knocked out well my two front
teeth will have to be removed and I chipped my incisor tooth I have Medicaid
dental but that’s still I’m probably going to be toothless my two front teeth
are probably going to be gone. I don’t know what to do besides flying aside and
that’s not enough money to make rent and bills and I know just given a Time
that I can get on my feet we can get on our feet and so I’m just exhausting all
options I’ve got to pay rent I’ve got to be able to pay the utilities I just
recently got my learner’s permit I want to get my license there’s so many
things I want to do I want to go to Florida to see my mom I got to be able to
get on my feet and I cannot do that from a tent so I’m asking the public if
they want to help you would not go unappreciated I would pay it forward I’m
just trying not to fall back into the life I just crawled out of.
