OT. Prayers needed

Best of luck to you. If there are any shelters in your area, I encourage you to get on the waiting list.

Based on how much you earn, you may also be eligible for food stamps. You can get up to ~$200 a month. It helps, and you get issued a card, not paper stamps the way they used to issue them.

If you need health insurance, see if your state allows coverage via Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

I know things are tough (having friends go through this ) means this is no fun at all. Have you considered a go fund me page to help you through during this holiday season? While I don't have extra at this time of year, I suspect many of your friends on the boards will be able to help you get back on your feet.

Praying for you. Watch your health now…tough times make it really easy to let yourself go or worry. A health reversal can really magnify your problems. Get exercise for your mind, even if it's light. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to seek the benefits you have coming to you. That's what they're for.

Far as the newest replies, thanks all. The Car idea is a good one, I just don't know what the "firing order" means. ha.

Chris, Glad you got the book too.

Thank you to all the others who have replied. I did do a go fund me last year, and got nailed by people I knew for begging. Actually, it was started by a friend, NOT by me, and I still got nailed, so had her close it.

With God's help and the kindness on here, some have helped, and ALL have helped with their kind thoughts. GOD BLESS ALL!!!!

Had another issue at the house. Looks like I finally have upset Paul Cubeta and Jeannie Marie too much. Yes, I have negativity and a "sour face" and need to be cleaner at times, but I also really have tried to help and such and KNOW I HAVE many times. I need to keep my problems to myself more, it seems....

. I may need a place to live, and likely have none for tonight at least.

My work counselor Walt picked me up in Rocky Hill today, saved me. Also, spoke to someone at 211., there is no room at the shelter now, but she did notate in my file that we spoke and that Im STILL ACTIVELY SEEKING shelter.

Its sad that this happens, we all have issues. I love those guys and the cats and don't know what will become of me, but that will never change.

If Anyone has any ideas to help, please message me. Least its gonna be nice tonight outside, so my lack of sleep will be done in a nice environment. God Bless all. and pray for me

Scott,
If you can find a Salvation Army they will take you in. It's not the best environment, usually, but it's off the streets until you can find a place. Best of luck...

Hi Scott, I'm not sure about your age or your military service. Are you considered a senior citizen? The city of Middletown has a website that shows senior citizen resources. They may be be able to provide you with low income housing. Are you a veteran? The website also shows some veterans websites that may be helpful.

It is late in the day and these places will be closed, but you may be able to dig something up tomorrow.

One of my daughters is a police officer, and she works closely with the Salvation Army and other groups who can assist. Stop a police officer and tell him/her what is going on. They may be able to find a church group or a non-profit that can help. Here is the Salvation Army info for Middletown.

My daughter carries a "homeless" kit in her squad car, which includes basic toiletry items. She also has food vouchers for local establishments and she can usually find a voucher for a night at a motel. I know that some police offers will just blow you off, but others may be willing to help.

As a last resort, go to an emergency room at a hospital. They may be able to give you temporary shelter or hook you up with some services.
