Help, I need someone....help

Hey hey my sweet brothers and sisters! My name's Savannah and right now i'm going through a bit of a tough time, i'm homeless and penniless and i'm having a helluva time trying to find a job in this situation...If anyone in the Connecticut area would like to give me a chance to have a place to live till i get back on my feet, I will work to earn my keep, I would be most grateful. Please e-mail me at all4thedead@yahoo.com
Thank you very very much
Much love and light,
Savannah

 

maaaan...get a job! if you want to make things happen? you got to do something about it to manifest it. whatevr it is, just do something to get to where you want to be.

 

im afraid i live in uk, but good luck finding somewhere, and remember even the cloudiest sky has a ray of hope

 

Hey sweety.. I work with homeless youngster in Amsterdam so I know what you are going through.. I wish you all the luck in the world! Don't be too proud or stubborn to go to professionals for help, 'cause it's damn hard to get/maintain a job when you have no steady place to stay. Salvation Army will help you probably, but if you don't want to stay amongst the junks and vagabonds, then try to find a youthshelter.

Take care! Pm or mail me if you want to talk!

Love

 

I thought telling someone "get a job" was a tad coldhearted...I have been where Velvet is to a great degree and it is totally frustrating and amazing how the system can screw you over in an already stressful situation! One could demonstrate a little more empathy that telling someone to "get a job".
If one had a job, and they aren't easy to come by as one might think.....then they wouldn't be homeless. I have been homeless, I have been abused, I have been a lot of things, But.........I am a survivor, not a quitter, & I am a hardass worker to boot....not afraid to break a nail, sweat or get dirty....just show me the ropes! I love a challange!

Walk a mile in ones shoes before you speak.

Velvet....I will keep you in my prayers, as I know there is a power greater than us, who has reasons for everything. Many a positive word from friends on the net has been my only sanity at times.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
Just do the necessary footwork, don't stop, and it WILL come together for you. I promise. I am living proof!!

Hugs, Sunshine & Smiles!

 

Yah, better yet, live in a small town.....get a job, be a person such as myself, that when I DID have my own car, rode others to their place of work, their errands to the store, to pay their bills, etc... when they didn't have a car or a licence, due to their own lessons, and then........be made to feel bad or guilted cuz I ask for a ride (to work or to get groceries), when my own car has gone to heaven. lol... Isn't that special?
And then people wonder why I act like a "b*".(which I'm not if ya know how to treat me)

I am the type of person who will and does do, things for myself and I have a difficult time "asking" for anything, from anybody....and have a difficult time even when it is offered...as there always seems to be some string attached even if it is invisable. I do not do "Strings".

Man....did that hit a nerve......

 

Savannah,

I hope things get better for you. I've been where you are and I know it can be scary. I hate to say try a restaurant or fast food, but those places are the easiest to get hired at, and you can sneak food while working I'll be thinking of you and praying.

she said she was looking for a job and not having any luck. my hubby looked for a job for a year before he found even an interview so we know how it is. keep you head up high and if your ever anywhere in NC hit me up!!!​

 

Ditto, I'm afraid. I hate it when I would if I could but I can't, it makes me feel so helpless.

 

Wish I could help but I'm not in Connecticut. Why don't do cancel your online service and sell your computer? It would free up some cash.

 

Dude I know how you feel. I got kicked out after the bank took away my cash card (not a credit card), the money i make from my job is very low and it all gets taken by the bank, who've piled on charges they 'forgot' to add on since 2003. I am now living in the loft of some friends of mine, they're really very kind.

Unfortunately I'm in England too, but if you come over here, you can share my loft! the guys would be more than happy to let you come stay here, I know that's probably a stupid thing to say as if you had the money to get a flight to england you could probably rent a place, but I hope you realise the sincerety of my offer and that I have nothing but peaceful and loving thoughts toward you and your situation.

I know times are bad now, but your humility and good will are valuable traits that you are priviledged to posess, many envy a spirit as beautiful as yours and that stands you in great stead for finding happiness in some form or another, be it materialistic or otherwise. Someone or something will come to your aid. Do what you can, but keep your mind clear of doubt and worry (i know it's bloody hard!) and concentrate on your benevolence to gain insight into easier times.

Big love, hugs and great times

 

well, "get a job" is a reality check...and as far as working for the man goes???there are many things in the world you can do without havin' to work for the man and still get through...i'v been out there myself and still made it through...just wanted to say i love ya and happy trails to ya...wish ya luck sweets...

 

Hon, I would help if I could, but I live in Baltimore... And I wouldn't tell you to come here, the job market absolutely sucks right now. Like someone previously said, find a youth shelter... I'm afraid you didn't mention what part of Connecticut you live in. Try www.redcross.org, that's all the info they have for Connecticut.
"Working for the Man" is a part of life that you must deal with when it comes down to the bottom line: Survival. I know it sucks, but that's the way the world works... Sometimes it's better to cooperate and adapt than resist and starve. Self preservation should be put above anything else... when you are in a better position, then you can figure out where you stand on working in this kind of a setting. As for being a b****, I can be one too, but I've been where you are, and sometimes you have to swallow that pride, sweetie. You aren't really in a position to dictate what "strings" can or cannot be attached as you are the one in the dire situation. I had to quit drinking and smoking in order to move into my first house out of homelessness. That was the deal, and I didn't like it.... as a matter of fact, I hated it. But it was good for me in the long run, b/c then I got my priorities in order, and now I can pretty much do as I please... Perserverence is what it takes. So check out those youth emergency shelters, apply to some shit work (restaurants and fast food are awesome ideas, as you really can sneak food and get the leftovers at close), and maybe sell that computer. Chin up, I'll be praying for you!!! Julie

 

Darlin, I left home at15 and my reason's were abuse! Let me tell ya, get a job as a waitress or a carhop for Sonic. Daily cash. It won't take long to get up enough money to get a place. Take your 1st tip's and put an ad in a local paper for roommates. It worked 4 me. Good luck sweety, Peace and Love, Taz.

 

Savannah - that's a pretty name! I hope things work out for you... wish I could help... I'm sure the universe will come and put you in a more profitable place soon!

 

Hi. We live in Ct as well,BUT as a 48 year native OF ct,,it is MY opinion thta Ct isnt the best place for a 17y/o? If you are in Southern part of the state youll probally have beter "luck" finding DECENT work, but we live in MID state ct and I KNOW darn well nothing is around that can be helpful to you in this situation? Maybe if you were a little older,,would help, say 18? But,,PLEASE, think of WHY you are here and alone,and TRY to solve this by figuring what else you CAN do to live YOUR life, but not on your own with no papparent maens of support? This type situation CAN get hairy,MY BEST suggestion is if u can go hOME,,? WHY did u leave anyhow?
I also agree your name is very pleasent! I recall when I was 17, I hung around the srteets of HARTFORD,,(lived IN hartford for 10 yrs before moving to suburbs) anyhow,it was a GAS,,FUN,,had many "friends",, and people SHARED thier "pads" no questions asked,,but NOT IN THESE times,,Hartford is a crime ridden city,,where the YUPPIES rule,,big business as well,,unless u go into the ghetto, wheree ALL you'll find are drugs and sexual perditors,,for UNKONWN teens. Please use care,,and maybe rethink WHY you are IN ct, alone,and if u can,,go home till u can @ least support yourself,,and I do NOT advise Ct as any kind of place for anyone in your situation.. but I can emapthize with you. Very Easily,and when I was your age if a 52y/o "OLD HIPPE" told me as im trying to tell you,,id never had listened,,maybe thsi is why Im still in the SAME place in life????????? I live my memories,tho am a professuional nurse,and dad and grandad!! nOW.. But I ddidnt get my nurse liscense till i was nearly 35!! you can DO BETTER!!

 

Too bad, that I'm from Russia . My doors are always open to my brothers and sisters. There are always someone, except me, in my apartments. I'm happy to help, but... so sad, I can't.
I want to wish you luck in your search.
Let the ideas of Peace be with ya on your way.
