I'm homeless again and need some help

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Adam Cook. I was released from jail in Harford County on February 21st of this year. I do have a long criminal record that keeps me from finding work. There's nothing I can do about it. I am homeless. I live in a tent in the woods in Bel Air. This is my first time doing anything like this. Maybe something like holding up a sign on the side of the road I have done, yes, but nothing like this before. The police have asked me nicely not to do it anymore. So, I have lost all forms of income. Any donation is absolutely appreciated. Right now, I have medicine at the pharmacy that I need. I am bipolar too, and I'm on various medications to keep me stable, and I can't even afford them. I'm putting in applications every day, and sometimes I went on interviews but never got the job. My next goal is to buy a motor kit from Amazon and put it on my bike so that I can get to further locations for work, like Aberdeen, Belcamp, etc. I just need a little help. And if everybody comes together and gives a little, I'll be able to take care of all the things I need. I am lucky I have food stamps, yes. But cash flow for anything else comes only from my mother, and she is exhausted financially. Luckily, I have my health still. No complaints there. But I definitely could use help with more stuff around here if anybody wanted to help. I've got trash that needs to be disposed of and stuff that needs to be picked up, cleaned, and organized. Technically, this land is owned by the state, and they're starting to complain about people being homeless here. So I need to make a change and quick. The HCAA, Harford Community Action Agency, has me on the list for the Welcome One Shelter, but it's been almost 3 weeks, and I still haven't gotten a spot. To be honest, Officer Chip, who comes to see me sometimes, he deals with the homeless population in the area, he said that I'm better off in my tent than going to other places similar to a shelter. I took a picture of my battery. If anybody, I mean anybody, has an old car battery or lead-acid battery sitting around, see if we can get it charged up and get it out to me. I'll try to pay for it too or trade something. I did the research, and I can get a good battery for 80 bucks at AutoZone. I need the battery coupled with my solar panel because I need to have power for my phone, light, and I have a laptop too. I was blessed with that. My ex-girlfriend went to my campsite after I got locked up and gathered my things. I also need things like propane. It's like $27 for exchange. That runs my heat. That keeps me warm at night. I don't know if I said everything I'm supposed to, but this is the general gist of what's going on. And I don't have really anybody to help me. Not my family. They either don't talk to me or are too far away. So that's my little story, and I'm just trying to stay humble out here and do the right thing, especially since I'm on probation. So if I received the donation, it wouldn't be going towards drugs and alcohol. Not even cigarettes. Thank you, thank you, thank you to anybody who donates. It is appreciated so much.
