Help Regina Get Settled in Atlanta
Donation protected
Some of you may already know my struggles with homelessness and housing instability but for those of you that don't I'll tell my story again. I became homeless last winter in St.Louis and after a few months I found someone who I thought was a friend that let me stay with them.
After a little while I began to notice that she was taking advantage of my housing and employment instability to get certain services out of me. Thanks to help from generous donors I was able to leave that situation and find temporary housing.
Shortly after that my sister asked if I could move down to Georgia to help with my nieces since she travels frequently. I was not expecting to come here and live in a place where I had no privacy, where there was a complete lack of sanitation, and where I cannot leave because there is no public transportation. On top of this she has decided to not pay me the $100 a week she promised.
There are a lot of job opportunities in the Marietta/Atlanta but at this moment I am not able to access any because there is no public transportation in Marietta. I am stuck here. I don't have very much money, no way to look for new employment, and no connections outside of my sister. I am currently taking jobs as a freelance writer (and just self published my dirst book) but the work is infrequent and the pay little. I need help getting settled here in Atlanta. Donations or connections to people in the area willing to help will be greatly appreciated.
