When I was homeless.....
When I was homeless.....
I slept under the bridge.
I slept at the beach.
I stole food to eat.
I rented a garage for $100 per month in a cramp space garage.
It was more like a shed that I stayed in.
I went to the La Free Clinic for help.
I went to The Way In.
I went to downtown LA (Los Angeles) to a homeless shelter.
I went to stay at TeenCanteen although I was 23 years old.
TeenCanteen is where they shelter teenagers who are homeless.
I went to the gay and lesbian center for food although I am straight.
Etc.
So you see when you are homeless you do things that are not the highest standards of righteousness according to God that I preach all the time!
So do what you have to. Reach out for help! I know I received help so others certain will help you out. I also went to church to get free clothing donations and foods. However the church is limited to clothing and foods every Wednesday and Sunday when I was out in LA.
People also offered to help with work. I got a job at Staples in LA when I was homeless. The shelters have programs to help you back on your feet.
So don't think help is not out there.
You just have to reach out.
Everyone does it in their own ways.
I was scared of being hurt most of the time so I kept to myself and didn't reach out much!!!
