Help me pay for my basic needs
I just learned that I will be leaving the home in which I have spent 2 and a half years, by November 1st, 2018. I have no job and no money, despite all my best efforts, so there is nothing I can do to fend for myself. My parents are giving me a place to stay while I figure this out, so the initial desperation has passed, but vocational services will take time, and I need help with food, rent, and utilities for a while.
Let me tell you a little about my situation. I am 26 years old and autistic. Since I left home eight years ago, I have tried to get a job, a college education, tried to make something of myself. But everything went so wrong and there was nothing I could do. I have had to rely on help from friends and family just to make it another day, and have nearly died three times from an assault, a break-in, and a medical emergency. At this point, I'm all out of friends. My parents can give some help, but their resources are limited. I still need help from as many people as can pitch in.
