Homeless - Blog Posts
So food for thought time...(hehe :D) me and my awesome dear friend were talking and somehow the conversation came to, would a homeless wizard...be really homeless and suffering? Like, how does he eat or something :P
I decided to draw an idea i had...
Hello! I’m a student doing a project on the misconceptions vs reality of homelessness!
It’s a very personal passion to me for bringing to light the reality of homelessness. My family has constantly struggled with financial issues and I was unhoused for a good bit of my childhood. I want to show people the actual circumstances for how people end up in these situations, and that people don’t deserve homelessness.
We made two surveys, one for if you’ve been homeless or are currently homeless, and one for what your views on the homeless are. If you could fill it out that would be great. We have 2 weeks to get 100 responses 🥲
Survey for views on homeless
Survey for if you’ve been homeless in the past or are currently homeless
THANK YOU! :D
Please help out if you can or reblog!!!!
Hey yall! I have a very urgent thing to ask. As the screenshot says I got kicked out of my parents house this morning at 8 am. I have somewhere to stay for now, but I have no money. You may dm me if you would like to donate or help out. I have PayPal, cash app and venmo. Anything helps. Please spread the word.
What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless
Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.
2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.
3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.
4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.
5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up.
6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.
PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

There’s nothing wrong with being poor, and these people deserve to live happily just as much as any rich person. Respect people based on their character, not their monetary status.
rant!!
the american economy is single handily killing everyone middle/lower class. i turned 18 literally a month ago but im considering opening a credit card because i simply can’t afford to pay for things. i still live at home too, imagine if i didn’t. i wouldn’t be able to provide housing for myself or basic medical care (all the things my mom currently pays for.) that’s the sad reality of living here and homelessness is extremely normalized to where most people don’t even pay attention anymore. prices for anything even in low cost of living states are outrageous. i live in a small southern town and a pack of tictacs is $5!! mcdonald’s is $10 for one meal and that’s the CHEAPEST fast food here. ever since this country was built companies have just been taking more and more from their employees and continue to add on to the CEO’s salary. the media tells us it’s inflation but the reality is it’s just price gouging and greed. people here can’t afford necessities while our “leader” sends money overseas to fund genocide. we also can’t forget the TRILLIONS of dollars our government just “can’t find.” our government keeps us reliant on them and keeps it impossible for every citizen to be cared for. the united states COULD have free healthcare/university, lower prices, have a higher minimum wage, fix the teacher shortage, but they won’t. they keep us afraid and want us to feel trapped by our lives in this country. people are noticing now and their support will eventually run out to where we all go french revolution style and i DO NOT want to be here when that happens. thanks for reading, this whole situation scares me and i’d love to hear what y’all think because it’s all just so frustrating:(
I had a fun time visiting Chicago but I did see a homeless man shit in a cardboard box🤷🏻♀️

Hey all, I’m currently homeless with my fiancé and we’re trying to stay in a motel while trying to find housing, but our money is running out very quickly. We’re getting to the point where we’re not eating more than once a day to save as much money as possible. But even with that we’re still going to need some help, so if you can help us at all, no matter how small, it would truly mean the absolute most to us.

Queer, undiagnosed, disabled, homeless artist still trying my best to be happy
After my PTSD was triggered I could no longer live with my childhood abuser. The stress caused me to get ill. I moved out so I wouldn't have to live with them. I'm Now temporarily living at with my girlfriend's now. My condition has been getting worse. I can't walk without a can. My lab results keep coming back normal, but I suspect I have pots.
ENOUGH WITH THIS SAD SHIT THOUGH
After several months of taking a social media break, I'm back! I want a community, a place to show my art, and maybe even make a business.
This is me, this is my art ٩(๑`^´๑)۶
If you like my art, or are another chronically ill baddie, feel free to follow it even dm me (^_-)-☆
In August of 2024 I was without electricity, phone, and internet connection because huge storms with lightning, rain, and winds. We even have floods, the roof is full of holes so it rain inside every year as well floods, but now with the state of the weather things are much worst. We had never have winds like that here. At this rate, in 4 years we will have tornadoes, a thing we have never ever have here. Nor our lands, infrastructures, and culture are prepared for this. Many haven't recovered from this nor any of past natural disasters.
Then spring and summer came, and bc all the destruction of our nature and the draught territories the little forests that are left of our native trees and plants caught fire with the pines throughout different regions a number of times.
Companies and its countries are stealing our water for mining, for avocados, strawberries and other native fruts and veggies that I can't buy to eat bc are sent to other countries, planting non-native pines to cut down and sell the wood to the world and have dried up the land, causing more and more fires, more and more deaths every year. On 13 February alone, there were forest fires in six municipalities in one region and 14 fires were burning. The emergency has left more than 20,800 hectares burned by the flames, as well as 44 victims and 28 houses destroyed in those days alone. There have been fires every week for months. The last few weeks it is almost every day somewhere in the country.
The goverment can't fix the country bc we still live under the dictatorship constitution and its politicians and families, and the president has being constantly attacked by the pro dictatorship groups from our country and others, fake news, terror campaings, etc, even the ensurance company group, the one that has Principal (AFP Cuprum), Metlife (AFP Provida), and Prudential (AFP Habitat) threatened my president this month because he and our chambers proposed and made slight improvements to the system because private companies of ensurance and pensions (that are from USA of course) have millions getting sick, disabled or dying because they can't afford medical care nor anything.
This threat was issued by David Chavern, president and CEO of the American Council of Life Insurers in the form of a letter to the extent that it was made known to the public. I can't ignore that one of the groups that also has their ensurance company here is UnitedHealthcare that owns Banmédica, another criminal company. Yeah, UHG, the one that had its CEO executed by The Adjuster. Yes, all USA insurance companies in my country are affected by this little change made to try to help my people to stay alive and have a little more of money that still will not make us live with dignity and out of poverty. So, yeah, is easy to say that UHG is more than angry with my country and back then the 1973 coup has made, among other things, to install this evil ensurance system and this companies.
Even in the cities there are fires. This past week I saw 2 fires in just 3 days, with houses on fire just a couple of blocks away from me. Now it has began autumn and, if I take as reference past years, it will not be like it used to be, but just like a winter part 1 now. Is already getting cold in the night and early morning making my articulations hurt, while in the day the heat makes me tired and weak, causing fires.
Last year people helped me, was awesome, but sadly it wasn't enough. I cleaned by hand the black mold from the walls of the storage room where I live and painted a bit with the little anti mold paint I found in an old tin that was left in a closet. Looks better and smells better and made me happy, but the walls are still broken, one of the walls is still not a wall, and the people of the place is still horrible and abusive. I'm still unemployed even when I tried to sell my art works, get a job, sell second hand clothes, find remote work, and even sent a cultural project to the Ministry of Culture to try to get funding and thus have a wage. Nothing worked. I got rejected in all and honestly I can no longer work because of my disability.
My health is getting even worst. Chronic pain, chronic illnesses and long covid are worse and make me more and more disabled with each passing semester. Eating is hard bc gluten free and dairy free food is terribly expensive (I have celiac disease and lactose intolerance) so I keep being hungry every day, i haven't eaten a piece of bread in months, I cant even make my own bc the gas and electricity is expensive as well the flour that I can use. Being autistic and having c-PTSD as well depression and fibromyalgia doesn't help and the violence never ends.
As far as I'm concerned, I've been on my own all my life, my only support is my couple that also helps me as a caregiver sometimes, is the only family I have. We don't live together bc poverty, we can only be thogeter for a little time each year bc non of us has a job (we are both university graduates and are teachers), their roof rains down and floods their house, the food sold in the poorer area is in bad state and in their house quickly grows black mold and we have to eat it. Also has to take care of an abusive old mother that is poisoning him with black mold (that already gives them health problems like allergy, migraine and gut issues, and the father has already died), the neighbours are violent, and I make that the bills are bigger and more.
My couple fears that we end up in the streets, homeless. I fear that they died or that when the dictatorship is installed once again here the neighbours are gonna snitch on us just bc we belive in democracy and my couple is a teacher. Already members of a cult showed up 2 days ago only in this house. In the last big dictatorship people were taken from their houses and jobs (specially students, univeritaries, teachers and culture workers, for example) and some never returned. Others were tortured so much that they died or ended up disabled and traumatized for life.
If u want to help me to fix things, buy food, meds, pay the bills, and being warm this winter please check
my PayPal or MACH
and make a donation, even $1 helps. If u can't donate, please reblog bc thats the only way to make this post circulate thus receiving help.
I don't even want to be in my country bc we will have a dictatorship soon, but I have nowhere else to go nor money to migrate. I need $10.537 dollars or € 9.760,95 euros aprox to pay all the documents, the bank money I need to have to prove I deserve to migrate, the tickets, rent money I have to show, and all that. I have been really thinking in live somewhere else, but no money and countries are having even more restrictions to countries like mine and people like us than before. Also the anti migration and other hate groups and gangs. There is a safe place?
I currently (date 14 April 2025) have $260 dollars donated (coz I spent some in food and meds this past months). We no longer able to pay for our meds and gas for cooking nor warm the place, I'm eating less bc we can't pay for food (I can't buy bread, flour, noodles, etc bc the gluten free lactose free products are really expensive, specially for us). My couple has been a year and a half without a job and there is no sight of one in the next months. Is winter and in the first rain that lasted a few minutes the place again had leaks. You can check the old post here and see a Meet the blogger here.
I thought that it was necessary to make an actualization and a using comprehensible single post, so that's why I made this.
Edit: Three pinochetist agents and a direct nazi descendant (both 3 belive in the nazi values) are running for president in the next presidential election this 2026 and one of them is gonna win. Please, we need to migrate so help me to not die with my couple. This is no longer only asking money to eat, this now is to not be tortured and disappeared. I have less than a year to find a country to migrate and leave. We can speak and read english even if not perfectly. If you know a country that allow political refugees and put less trouble to migrants, please comment.
Edit 2: the ppl with which I live are trying to involving me in their crimes so please help me to leave faster.
Edit 3: my mother in law I think is gonna make us end up on the streets or lie about us bc we are not letting her be abusive and I fear she try to frame us as abusers just bc she is emotionally abusive and can't deal with the fact that we say No and we told her she has to give basic human respect. I think she is lying to extended family as always and put herself as victim and try to damage us more, specially against my couple bc she has always treat them bad. This hell never ends
Help is welcomed, I am still here trying hard, I don't want to die.
So... Huge argument & extremely abusive conversation w the parents just happened.
I'm going to be on an homelessness adventure, that they don't want to pay for, no insurance for you & you are the only reason for you becoming homeless (victim blaming) but agree they just want any reason to kick me
Our, also I'm clearly never feeding my dog (2 times a day while giving him a 5 mile on avg run on a trail) also if anything breaks down while you have no insurance or gas money because we aren't paying for it we won't help you w that.
Yes we said that you couldn't live w us before but now it would
Cost us money (they will likely only get rid of the Medicare stuff not paid for SSI retirement *shock face*) to help you & us trying to gas light you, victim blame you, guilt you w your dog, & even try to minimize you by talking to each other & not listen to you talking didn't work as you then did
It to us & even showed off that the dog could live w you in the vehicle & have food, which we were paying for anyways but now I don't want to, same for anything else w you & your stuff. I just wanted to say that if your vehicle broke down we weren't helping anyways, but this sped it up.
But wait that's not all!
I know your clinic isn't helping you, which is all your fault, & you need to go to another state to get care & treatment but fuck you! That costs so much money. Tent! Too much money. Shelter! Omg they'll never take you in. Transfer insurance to different state insurance?
Nope hate it. You are the one ruining our life if we had to make our vehicles something we would have to live out of. But for you it's just fun ☺️! & I'm not paying for that.
You were going to need to get help for all of this before but now I don't want to & you staying w us w no clinics or even
Actual care & or attention changes nothing. Same for it being acknowledged by all parties that it causes us to all suffer & me to end up getting worse.
Basically, we are trying to say we aren't the bad guys not helping you, but we said we would & support you to not be homeless, while we screw you
Over completely like those terrible housing people that are kicking you out only because of you & everything about you.
Also you are the worst person to your dog. I'll bring him to you, wherever that is. Later.
You'll be off your meds, but also yeah your clinic is the worst & likely won't help
Anymore but even if they did, what help is that! But insurance!
Also you can't afford it, but now that the barely able to do any work that I acknowledge & say you are disabled & need SSI now I expect you to somehow work for this thing that you need that I was going to afford after you did that.
But not otherwise. I'm not helping you, you'll be on homeless adventure time land stuff over there doing no work for it, like surviving & trying to get a shelter figured out & ohh...I dunno a apartment through a voucher & or sec 8 & maybe your insurance.
Don't remind us of the last time you were
Homeless in your car, I think it was an adventure. & You totalled our vehicle you paid for but was in our name. By slightly clipping the transmission & then it's not fully ripped apart.
Totally your fault & will happen again..be afraid of this & it's your fault you are causing us to deal w every
Thing & we are the good people not you. HealthyGamerGG my life as the mature emotional child that lives w narcissists as family members (yes the other siblings are the same & don't want to help) who's the not logical not mature not etc etc person & it's all his fault. Got help?
