Homelessness is Overrated: Help Randi Get A Home

A little over two years ago, I escaped the impending homelessness of an eviction by moving into a tiny, ancient camper. I thought it was a lifelong dream, so I ignored the leaks, the soft spots in the floor, the terrible insulation. I had always wanted to be a nomad, so I disregarded the fact that I wasn't going anywhere with my limitations in earning, puttering around a small area of Ohio. I thought I had found freedom, so I didn't think about having to beg for food and electricity and water. After two years of this, I am ready to reenter society, to move on to the next phase of my life. I want to move back to the Denver area. I lived there for a few years and loved it, and I have friends eagerly awaiting my arrival, though none are in a position to help. I have reopened my profile with the staffing agency Robert Half, and am making regular calls to Kelly Services and other agencies as well as applying to anything else I qualify for on Craigslist and Indeed. I have applied to drive for Lyft and Uber as a start, and have passed the DMV check for Lyft with Uber sure to follow. While I do complete freelance transcription editing work from "home," and will continue to do so as long as I have time and they have work, it is not much, not enough to escape this life. All that being said, I need help to get on my feet. My best case scenario is to obtain a car that qualifies for driving rideshares, transfer the things I want to keep from my camper over to it, get as much as I can for the camper (it won't be much; it's terrible, but I will try), then drive to the Denver area and search for a tiny studio apartment (I still love small living spaces!), driving for Lyft and Uber while I search for permanent employment, if I haven't set something up by the time I get there. At this point, though, I really just need to leave this state and limp there if I have to, driving fifty to a hundred miles a day until I get there. Your support would help me to escape a state that is rapidly becoming a terrible place to be a woman, let alone a transient woman, and move toward a better place with people who love and care about me. Thank you for reading, and any support you can offer.
