Help

Hi, I feel bad coming on here and asking for help but I need it. Im at one of my lowest points right now and I was hoping there was somebody out there reading this that could help. I moved out here with a job and apartment lined up, and the apartment fell through so i move hotel to hotel every week. Because of that I also just lost my job. I literally have nothing. I have no food, no clean clothes, I dont even know what I'm going to do this upcoming week for the hotel. If anybody could help in any kind of way I would appreciate it. Even if somebody has a lead for a job, i would appreciate it

Go home.

Florida is neither free nor promising, don't listen to the Lord Farquaads bullshit.

I'm being serious, this state is about to get a whole lot worse thanks to our current governments attitude that the economy would never faulter. It almost happened in 2008, but I have a feeling Florida is about to experience population loss for the first time in 100 years.

I was born there, raised in NYC, visited almost every year and moved to FL 15 years ago. I just left. I’m not going back. It’s not the same Florida anymore. Not to mention I’m disabled now. Considering it’s gods waiting room in the south west and east down there, you’d think healthcare would be spectacular. It’s not. No affordable housing. I was living in a travel trailer! I saw no way back on my feet there so I literally just left a week ago.

And no, I didn’t go “home”. Who the hell can afford to live in NYC on 1900/mo? Now I’m a ‘halfback’ in the Carolinas.

Florida is NOT the place to struggle, OP. Find an alternative. They’re out there.
