Help Me Move Home.

Donation protected

Hello, My name is Bret. I don't know where to start because there is so much I can say about my situation It would all get confusing. I'll do my best and I'll try and keep it short.
I live on the Island of Kauai. Moved here years back to help my brother with his business I moved here after my grandfather passed I was sad and depressed afterwards. He was not only a great man but I also saw him as a close friend. I wanted to move somewhere nicer to help me cheer up and my brother had lived here on this island for about 7 years already. He offered me work and a room to stay in while I saved up tog et my own place. after awhile I started getting less and less work with him. He lost his house and I had to move into another room renting from other people.  I didn't mind much as iv done it before. I can stay pretty happy as long as i have a roof over my head.

But this island is overpopulated now and only getting more so. housing is scarce and the price of living keeps rising. I'm getting less and less work and I can no longer afford to live here. I'm so close to losing everything.
The roommate I have now subleases and finds every way he can't to drain me dry of every bit of money iv been trying to save to move back home. I just want to move home back to the mainland Iv been selling everything I have and I'm only planning to take a bit with so I don't have to completely have to lose every thing and start over.
I have a friend back home that is trying to help me get on with him working tech support but I have to be down there for me even be hired on. but that seems like a sure thing if i can get down there.

The money is pretty much the minimum it would take for me to get home.  
plane ticket $250-$350 (depends on the day the flight leaves and week. changes more than once a day so hard for me to be certain.)
Plane bags $50x2=$100 ( this will help me have stuff on me when I move and save some money on shipping items.) 
Shipping my things home. $1000 give or take. I'm going to ship everything the cheapest way possible. If I have to leave things behind so be it. but id rather not leave something I need. but it is very expensive to ship things off Kauai a 22x22x12 box 35 pounds in $80 and that doesn't hold much. it might take 10 or more boxes and  most will be more than 35 pounds. I'm doing what I can to keep costs down.

I have just over a month left in this house. then my funds dry up and I'll have nothing left. so I have.

I don't know how to say how much this would mean to me. All I can say is this would give me hope in my darkest time. a helping hand would give me a future and 2nd chance.

I would be more thankful than I think I have even been in my life. This would stop be from going homeless and give me a fighting chance to have a future again.
