I've been homeless since July. I haven’t been able to get into a shelter because I don’t have transportation to get there when spots open up. Now that it’s getting colder with fall coming, I don’t have warm clothes or anything like a sleeping bag or tent. Honestly, I’m worried I won’t survive the winter. I have heart failure and trouble walking, so I’m stuck on the north side of Columbus, while most support organizations are downtown.

Last night, I got caught going through the trash at a bar and was called "human trash" when I asked why they even cared. It was really demoralizing. I've been looking for work online every day, but today is the first time I just don’t feel like even trying. I'm not sure where I’m going with this—I guess I just needed to vent.

Quick Update:

Thanks to everyone who replied and sent me money. I never expected such a response. It makes me feels a lot better about things.

To everyone who offered to give me supplies:

I’ve received so many offers that I can’t accept them all. If I don’t get back to you personally, please know I do really appreciate it. I encourage you to donate the sleeping bags, blankets, and clothes to others in need, there are plently of people who use them.

Last Update:

Someone sent me some money on Venmo. I don't have access to it because my phone is disconnected, so if you see this you can cancel it, but I do really appreciate it.

And thank you to everyone who replied to my post
