Just trying to stay warm
Donation protected
I don't want to offend anyone but I'm desperate and would be thankful for anything you could give whether thats prayers or a pair of socks. I'm especially grateful for encouraging comments, knowing someone cares about me keeps me going when I can't.
My name is Gabriel, Im 25 and ive been homeless for a year and a half. I was raised by my aunt who sold her house and left the state. Around the same time I lost my job and my first car was t-boned. I got a jeep which is my dream car because of insurance, I lived out of my jeep which stopped working a month afterwards with my dog for most of that time until I received my tax return and was finally able to get it moving again.
After getting it fixed a friend let me stay with them. My dad and my dog died around the same time, I never knew my dad much and then I had to realize I never would. I had gotten my dog at the beginning of the year before and raised him from a puppy, he was an american akita named Xten and i miss him more than anything. He was with me the whole time i was homeless and kept me going alot of the time, i feel like i let him down honestly.
Then I got kicked out of my friends house because of a argument, and later that night put in the hospital with a concussion and broken hand when someone came and punched me from behind at a shopping center. I lost my memory of the last few days and most of the possessions I had managed to hold on to when they left all of my things at a donation box in the rain.
My girlfriend, her cousin, and my bestfriend managed to get a few of my things they knew were mine. My girlfriend and her cousin are both amazing people and I wouldn't have made it this long without them, especially the woman who stood beside me even when i was down.
My bestfriend got me a job at a grocery store and I eventually managed to buy a car from his parents, the car broke down on me at an intersection and was eventually towed and I got fired from my job. The previously mentioned cousin of my girlfriend purchased me a tent, and I had been living in it and keeping my things there since I started at the job my friend had gotten me.
Recently a lady saw me leaving the woods from my tent and yelled multiple times to get my attention as if she was waiting on me and she asked if I had a gun, if I was alone and that she stayed with her dad who she said was afraid, I told her I did not and she had no reason to fear me I was just a homeless guy trying to survive. I went back to the tent late one night to avoid anymore meetings and it was gone. The poles used to hold it up had been broken and thrown aside and besides my blankets, a coat, and one shoe everything in the tent was dragged along with it leaving a trail all the way out of the woods.
I've been sleeping behind an empty church for the last few days since this was the only place I could find where I wasn't bothering anyone. I spend most of my time sitting beside foodlion using there wifi so I can do my school work and finish my diploma so I can leave for the army. Everything i own fits in a bookbag, 2 blankets and hygiene products. Im currently looking for another job but had to get a new id, birth certificate and social security card.
Recently life has just been getting harder and alot colder and I just want to be able to move forward without having to worry about freezing to death. I'm not only having the crappiest time of my life which has been pretty bad to say the least but I'm now at a complete loss on what I can do to survive and move forward.
