Homeless - Blog Posts
So food for thought time...(hehe :D) me and my awesome dear friend were talking and somehow the conversation came to, would a homeless wizard...be really homeless and suffering? Like, how does he eat or something :P
I decided to draw an idea i had...
Hello! I’m a student doing a project on the misconceptions vs reality of homelessness!
It’s a very personal passion to me for bringing to light the reality of homelessness. My family has constantly struggled with financial issues and I was unhoused for a good bit of my childhood. I want to show people the actual circumstances for how people end up in these situations, and that people don’t deserve homelessness.
We made two surveys, one for if you’ve been homeless or are currently homeless, and one for what your views on the homeless are. If you could fill it out that would be great. We have 2 weeks to get 100 responses 🥲
Survey for views on homeless
Survey for if you’ve been homeless in the past or are currently homeless
THANK YOU! :D
Please help out if you can or reblog!!!!
Hey yall! I have a very urgent thing to ask. As the screenshot says I got kicked out of my parents house this morning at 8 am. I have somewhere to stay for now, but I have no money. You may dm me if you would like to donate or help out. I have PayPal, cash app and venmo. Anything helps. Please spread the word.
What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless
Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.
2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.
3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.
4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.
5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up.
6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.
PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

There’s nothing wrong with being poor, and these people deserve to live happily just as much as any rich person. Respect people based on their character, not their monetary status.
rant!!
the american economy is single handily killing everyone middle/lower class. i turned 18 literally a month ago but im considering opening a credit card because i simply can’t afford to pay for things. i still live at home too, imagine if i didn’t. i wouldn’t be able to provide housing for myself or basic medical care (all the things my mom currently pays for.) that’s the sad reality of living here and homelessness is extremely normalized to where most people don’t even pay attention anymore. prices for anything even in low cost of living states are outrageous. i live in a small southern town and a pack of tictacs is $5!! mcdonald’s is $10 for one meal and that’s the CHEAPEST fast food here. ever since this country was built companies have just been taking more and more from their employees and continue to add on to the CEO’s salary. the media tells us it’s inflation but the reality is it’s just price gouging and greed. people here can’t afford necessities while our “leader” sends money overseas to fund genocide. we also can’t forget the TRILLIONS of dollars our government just “can’t find.” our government keeps us reliant on them and keeps it impossible for every citizen to be cared for. the united states COULD have free healthcare/university, lower prices, have a higher minimum wage, fix the teacher shortage, but they won’t. they keep us afraid and want us to feel trapped by our lives in this country. people are noticing now and their support will eventually run out to where we all go french revolution style and i DO NOT want to be here when that happens. thanks for reading, this whole situation scares me and i’d love to hear what y’all think because it’s all just so frustrating:(

Hey all, I’m currently homeless with my fiancé and we’re trying to stay in a motel while trying to find housing, but our money is running out very quickly. We’re getting to the point where we’re not eating more than once a day to save as much money as possible. But even with that we’re still going to need some help, so if you can help us at all, no matter how small, it would truly mean the absolute most to us.
