Not that I want to leave but it looks like I'm going to have to. As of 12/26/17 my family and I will be living out of our cars. Extended family doesn't want to take us in and other assistance is non-existent right now with it being Christmas. I've been sharing my go fund me page and posted a plea on youtube but it looks like the worse is going to happen. Anyway, even though I haven't talked to a lot of you one and one over the years I've gotten to know a little bit about all of you through your posts. It's sad to think about not being able to come on here anymore but I just wanted to say it's been fun and I'll miss you guys.

I am so sorry for your troubles. Have you checked with local shelters? It would be better than your car. I will be praying for you and your family.
-
So sorry to hear what you are going through - my family has lived in a tent before due to financial troubles. I can't offer you money due to being on disability but I can certainly pray for you and I will.
-
What about government assistance? That's why we have safety nets to prevent people from becoming homeless. My prayers are with you.
-
Sorry for your problems and hope it will be a short period of time for yall to have to live out of your vehicle. Winter time could really cause yall some problems.
-
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things take a turn for the better soon.
-

I see you have been a member since 2008. I will bet you will miss getting on here. Sorry to hear about the problems you are having. I wish you nothing but the best and will keep you in my prayers.

Hope this is a very temporary situation and that you will come out of this stronger and wiser. I will be praying for you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Most cities have shelters, please check those out rather than living in your car. Check about going on welfare, that’s what it’s there for. Good luck and I pray you will be back soon.
-
Thanks for the well wishes. Yes, we have been looking at shelters but a lot of them are booked up since it's Christmas. As for government assistance we won't be able to get any of it in time because all of this happened at the last minute. The page itself was created last month but the circumstances weren't nearly as bad and I didn't push it too much. Living out of our cars came at the last minute. If we had known about it earlier we would have been better prepared.

That's awful. Is anyone working? Have you contacted local churches?

I'm contacting as many churches as I can but like I said, it's Christmas. A lot of funds are tied up. Mom has a job, dad lost his but is looking for a new one. I have some physical/health problems but I've been searching for something I can do.

Register at a temp agency.

I am so sorry for your circumstances and that you will have to leave FC. I wish you the best and hope that you land on your feet very very soon.
-
Sorry to hear - is there any way to get internet from your car so you could still use FC?
-
I pray that things will turn around and you get back on this site with your testimony.

No one in your family can get a job any where? I am just curious. I see you still have the internet so I can't feel too sorry for you. Yeah, not what you want to hear but it is the truth. Do you have cable? You can live in a house with no electricity. At least you have shelter. Not sure how you came to where you are either being kicked out of your house for not making house payments or not paying rent but usually you have to be at least 3 months behind. SO you should have quit this site and turned the internet off 3 months ago and put that money toward housing.
I don't know your situation but I just do not grasp how people who are a family can get to the point of being homeless. And if no one in your family will take you in then I can only assume there is some reason. If you were working and trying then I would think someone would help. Usually the only time family turns their back and won't take someone in is if they are on drugs, drunks, or refuse to work and just looking for a hand out. I know thru the holidays about all retail and places even gas stations are hiring. If it was to the point of being homeless I would take what ever work was available.
-

A lot of churches have quit giving handouts to people. In my town anyway most of the churches donate to the charity organizations and you go to them. Too many people going from church to church with a sob story asking for cash for electric bills or whatever and then they take the money and buy drugs. If they say they are hungry and want money for food and you say well we will not give you money but will take you to buy some food and they refuse that offer then they are not too hungry.
-

This is a good idea. They usually have jobs. May not be the job you want but if you are to the point of being homeless you will take whatever is available. I have worked on many jobs that I hated. But I done what I had to do in order to survive.
-
Hopefully it's not a permanent situation for you and just a "see ya later" type of thing. No need to give up on FC. Considering using FREE WiiFii or the local library. Our town has a shelter where those that are registered to stay there can use the library services. (within walking distance) Churches (Unless already involved in a church home) give us much as they can. Praying for you and your family to find your place in the world. Work and steady income. Praying for all of your health and rejoicing that through it all - you are still together.

Wow, thanks. I'm not going to go into details but it really isn't that black and white. Things aren't always simple in situations like this. That's all I'm going to say.

I thought they had a thing about WIFI addresses? Like you had to have the same one that matched your address? At least that's how I took it.
-
Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope something works out and you get back on your feet soon. I have been down that road and with prayer and faith, something always worked out for me. I hope the same for you.
-
If your mother has a job can you possibly get a motel room? I’m not talking about a $100 room rate, but I’m sure there are cheap motels in your town. There are some in our town for $20 to $30 a night. I know they won’t be a palace but it would be better than a car. And you can go to soup kitchens for hot meals. Best of luck.
-
I am so sorry to hear that, I pray that something comes through for you soon.
-
You can always go to libraries and restaurants (such as Starbucks) and get free wi-fi and use it that way. That way you can still get the internet and still use FC? I hope things turn around for you. Best of luck and happy holidays.

I thought FC had rules against shared internet thou?

I pray that something will come its way and youll soon be back on your feet and then you will get the chance to come bac and see us all again.
I was gone for over a year because we weren't able to get internet. We are in a slightly better place where we can now purchase the internet. which I am really grateful for.
just keep trying I wish I could help but we are just making it ourselves.

Thanks for the prayers. They're greatly appreciated :)

Didn't ask for details. Like has been stated in other threads if you do not want the opinion of others then don't ask or post in a public place because not everyone will agree with you. It is pretty much black and white. I find it hard to believe that NO ONE in your family can get a job ANYWHERE. I have worked on jobs I absolutely hated.
And people need to learn the difference between a NEED and a WANT. If you have the internet now then you can't be struggling too bad. That or your priorities are screwed up. When it comes down to having shelter or living in a car then you cut out everything extra. Turn off the internet, cable, and all that stuff. You eat peanut butter and ramen noodles. If you have to live in a house with no electricity then you do that. And yes, I have done that before. I survived. But at least I had a roof over my head. Wasn't that big of a deal.
I have seen over and over where people have posted in threads like these about how they are fixing to be homeless but yet they still have cable tv and internet. Cut that out and you will have an extra $200 to put toward rent or mortgage payments. Just sayin.
I am just to the point that I do not feel sorry for people and I ask questions when people have sob stories and want money. There have been several on the internet lately begging for money and when you learn the truth it is a scam. Heard one the other day. The woman's story just didn't add up. First you are disabled and you are hungry and you have no food and you have no money and blah blah. But it is like wait, if you are disabled you are drawing a check off the government and you are drawing food stamps. Where did that money go? And the more questions you ask the more you get silence and no answers. And yes, if you expect a hand out these days you can expect questions.
McDonald's may not be the best job in the world but it is a pay check and you get a free meal when you are working. But most people snarl their face and say 'I ain't workin at McDonald's". My response is then starve and live on the street.
-
I am deeply sorry to hear of your situation. I pray that you will find a place and a job soon. Hope to hear good new from you in the near future.
-
Fast food places will hire just about anyone. I was just at KFC last night and they had a hiring sign, you start at $9.50 an hour, so Im guessing all fast food places pay about the same
-
I’m sorry to hear about your plight. :( I hope it is only a temporary inconvenience for you and your family. At least you are not going through it alone during hard times. It’s important to stick together. Hang in there and think positive. The suggestions from the FC members are worth taking. Eventually there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. You can always access the internet at your local public library. Take care!
-
Thanks everyone. Today's the day, not sure what's going to happen. Looked at tons of shelters but there's no guarantee of getting into one. However, we have found a cheap Airbnb by my mom's work that we can book once it's free on the 11th. After talking about it we SHOULD be able to swing that, have internet access to apply for assistance and look for jobs, shower, bed, etc... It's a little light at the end of tunnel.
-
So sorry for your problems. It just breaks my heart this is happening to you and your family. The holidays are rough as it is let alone being homeless. I hope some good comes to you and your family soon and know you are not alone. There are others with the same problem. I wish you strength in this troubling time and pray you find a place very soon.
-

They are all different. And the pay you start at depends on where you live. That is not what they start at where I live. But you are right, they will hire anyone. Sometimes you need to pass a drug test and not be a criminal. But most times they will hire druggies with a criminal background. And if a person is desperate and fixing to be homeless they will take what ever job they can get. It IS that simple. And if people refuse to work then I do not feel sorry for them no matter what happens.

It breaks my heart to hear of these kind of problems. This is not suppose to happen in the USA! >:(

Why? You do not even know the real story behind the problems. I know people who are homeless because they refuse to work. The problem with people in the USA today is they expect every thing to be handed to them. Young people seem to think the world owes them something. This world, the people around you, they don't owe you anything! There are jobs out there. It may not be what you want but there are jobs out there. From the OPs comments there are at least 3 people living in the household. Only the mother works. The orig poster and her father need to get a job. Fast food or whatever. You are not above flipping burgers. Nobody is. The past few weeks every where was hiring for the Christmas season. Even if it was a temp position. If both of these people went to a temporary agency and signed up BOTH would most likely be working in a few days. But you have to be willing to take whatever is available. And if I were to the point of being homeless I think I would do about anything as long as it was legal. lol
I know a lot of people these days want to work "online". I know a couple right now that are looking for work but say "I want to work online". Well that is just dandy. But the chances of you finding a full time job where you work completely online and from home are most likely not going to happen. There are temp agencies in neighboring towns that have prob 100 jobs that they cannot fill. People need to realize you take what ever job you can get and while working something you do not like you can keep looking for something better.
I have seen personally where people sit on their butt and cry about how they can't get a job (and refuse jobs daily because they don't want to do that) and then want a hand out for food, paying their electric bill, rent and everything else. Attitudes like this are why so many people and churches and even organizations are getting more picky about who they help and how they help them.

Glad u see a little light at end of tunnel.Remember God makes sure the birds are fed.It doesnt hurt to bow your head in prayer and thank HIM with his name in Jesus name.
"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." "That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." ... "Let them know that thou alone, whose name is the LORD, art the Most High over all the earth."Psalm 83:18
Remember false gods have names.Why shouldnt the TRUE GOD have one?He told Moses his name and what it meant.
But Moses said to God: ‘Suppose I come to the sons of Israel in Egypt and say that God sent me. What if they ask me, “What is his name?” What shall I say?’ God told Moses to tell the sons of Israel: ‘Jehovah has sent me to you. Jehovah is my name forever.’ (Exodus 3:1-15) This shows that God was going to keep the name Jehovah. He would never change it. God wanted to be known by his name, Jehovah, forever.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. You are in my thoughts and prayers. :present: :peace: :santa: :wave:

I am sorry to hear this and I hope things get better for you.

So terribly sorry to hear about your demise. I had to live out of my car for several weeks, when I was seventeen, until I found a closet to sleep in at one of my three jobs. I was lucky that this happened in warmer months and managed to find affordable housing within about three months. I would focus my search on privately funded, charitable, housing projects as many of the Government aid is disappearing (got to build that wall) and deductions for assistance have been minimized. We had a rehabilitation center and two homeless assistance centers shut down within the last two weeks. These closings have put a heavier burden on our larger facilities. I just received notice of a work slow down and will be scrambling to cover lost income. Sadly this comes at a time when temperatures are hitting record lows. I hope that you live in a warmer part of the country and pray for you.
-
Hope you find help soon! Suggest look around your area for computer/iPhone access! I know there's free internet access at McDonald's, WalMart, public library, book stores, electronic stores, bar joints, restaurants,.......just being in the area you can get free internet access! There was a time when my internet access was cut off for a couple of months & I did business using WalMart & McDonald's free internet access to survive! So, never give up, never surrender! Good Luck!👍
-
So heartbreaking to hear. I wish you and your family a turn of luck very soon.
-
So very sorry to hear of your problems. I pray that God will supply all your needs QUICKLY and that you will all receive that Christmas miracle that you need at this time.
-
Sorry to hear of your difficulty. Hope things work out for you soon! I'll pray for you.
-
I am sorry to hear that. Try to stay positive and hope for a turn around in your situation.

Oh no! What is happening to you is one of my biggest fears. I am on disability, and it's hard to make ends meet.
If it weren't for my best friend, Scott, of 27 years, I often wonder if I would end up at a shelter.
Have you contacted the Salvation Army? Most have a center in about every city of every state. It will at least give you and your parents warm beds for the night.
Also contact Catholic Charities to see if they can offer assistance.
I would donate money if I could, but I am on disability, and I simply do not have it. I am killing myself on here just to help pay my own bills so Scott doesn't have to.
I know this may not matter, but take comfort that you do have your parents.
I'd say that I'll pray for you, but frankly, I'm not sure there's anyone listening. But for you, I will do it anyway.
Just in case . . .

You are going to pray and in the same breath say you are not sure anyone is listening? Then why bother praying. If you pray and don't believe God is real then you are wasting your time. Just sayin'.

Kaat a lot of us feel that way when we pray.The TRUE God says HE will hear the prayers of the righteous ones and detests the prayers of the wicked.But also remember the prayer must be addressed to HIS name and said in harmony with his will in Jesus name.Jesus condemned the Pharisees that kept repeating themselves and also wanted to be seen when praying.He said they chant over and over thinking the many words they use they will get a hearing.Also when they wanted to be seen Jesus said they are getting their reward in full from that.

I really hope this is going to be a temporary fix too... thinking one has extended family or friends, and that people do not care about helping hurts...... but ultimately can make you stronger too...
I really hope you will find a solution soon... and that nonetheless you will be able to manage and that you won't loose your hope and positivism... things WILL get better!

the libraries have internet access.
you can write down you password, unless you know it by heart.
I read that there will be vending machines provided for the homeless.
NYC is the first city to get them.
The idea came from England, I think.

So sorry to hear that. Can you get wifi at a library with a laptop? Don't know if that's against the TOS here. Also, I don't know where you live but, my husband hasn't had a job for over 2 years now, and, can't get one, so we've been scraping by on the occasional temp job and uber. Don't know if that would be a possibility for your family but, we haven't lost the house yet. I, also, have physical issues that make it difficult to find something I can do and, now, am having trouble again and will need quite a bit of medical stuff this year. Will pray for your family.
-
Not that I want to leave but it looks like I'm going to have to. As of 12/26/17 my family and I will be living out of our cars. Extended family doesn't want to take us in and other assistance is non-existent right now with it being Christmas. I've been sharing my go fund me page and posted a plea on youtube but it looks like the worse is going to happen. Anyway, even though I haven't talked to a lot of you one and one over the years I've gotten to know a little bit about all of you through your posts. It's sad to think about not being able to come on here anymore but I just wanted to say it's been fun and I'll miss you guys.
Hello! :D :)
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, I hope it is for only a short time. Hopefully in 2018 things looks better for you and you are better able to get out of your situation. I will be praying for you and your family. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

I can not grasp this at all. HOW can he not find a job ANYWHERE in two years? That doesn't make sense at all. He may have to take a job he feels is beneath him or take something he doesn't want to do. But you are obviously getting money from some where because if neither of you are working and have not for 2 years then somebody is paying the bills.

I had a friend and her husband was out of work ... He had been a Bank President and refused to take a lower type job.. 7 years and they wiped out all their saving because of his childish dreams, It was interesting to watch, she was out cleaning houses and her daughter worked for me on my farm cleaning stalls and feeding animals when I was gone.. seems the girls had the right idea and DAD laid on his behind watching TV... I don't feel sorry for people like this, the guy i mean! He did end up getting back to the banking business but they had to move across the country BROKE !

No Matter how desparate your situation sounds now, never lose hope! Stay proactive and set goals. I am confident the new year will improve everything for you
-
so sorry hope things work out for you and your family...good luck
-
I'm sorry this happened. I remember those days. Even though I can't offer you money or even a place to stay but all I can offer is my prayers at this moment
-
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I almost went homeless once myself. You’ll be in my prayers.
-
Wow, I'm sorry. Good luck and I hope you find something.
-
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear of this! I will be praying for you and your family. I hope you are okay and that you are not in a cold state like the north eastern states where I am! It's frigid cold out here the last week or so. Please stay strong and do what you can. Hope you come back and tell us a success story.
-
So sorry to hear of your situation. Good luck and hopefully the new year will bring you a fresh start.
-
So sorry to hear about your situation. Please know that MOST people are empathetic and compassionate about these situations. You will survive and you will be stronger in the end. Never lose your faith in whatever God you pray to and humanity. Please do not pay attention to the smart aleck comments on this thread. They are not worth your time or energy. Stay positive. I will pray to my God for you as I know he answers prayers. Take care.

If both of these people went to a temporary agency and signed up BOTH would most likely be working in a few days. But you have to be willing to take whatever is available. And if I were to the point of being homeless I think I would do about anything as long as it was legal. lol
I agree with you to a degree. My husband lost his job over 2 years ago and hasn't been able to find anything. He is signed up with several temp agencies but, the jobs for him are few and far between. He's working a part time one now but it is ending soon and there is nothing on the horizon. He is driving Uber to fill in the gaps and, when there is nothing else, Uber has kept us alive. There are lots of food pantries, at least by us, so usually, food isn't a issue. It's the rent, phones, etc., etc. Internet is almost a must these days because it seems job hunting is done almost all online. Even Walmart and McDonald's applications are online. You can, however, go to the places and they will have a computer there for you to apply. I don't know how old the person posting is or where they live but fast food is always hiring. My husband used to deliver pizza but can't even get a job there. He's applied. But, yes, I agree, everyone in the house should be working in order to keep the house. My brother was asking my dad for money for the same thing. He had lost his job and was losing the house. However, he has 2 perfectly healthy boys living with him that should be working and contributing to expenses. There is no reason for them to lose their house.

Sorry to hear my prayer are with you amd your family

Well, got some good news. I sold some stuff, dad got a job, I have an appointment to help me out on Friday, we just need to get in touch with a block of apartments that's by us. What's really nice is that the apartments have wifi so I can still do this and we can save some more money by not getting our own. Maybe much further down the line we can get our own again but until then I'll happily take the wifi. So thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts, they were very much appreciated :)
-
That is wonderful news! What a great late Christmas present you and your family received. Prayers do work, I’m very happy for you and your family!!
-
I am so happy to hear the good news. Prayer does work, and to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I was a little surprised to see how many people put comments on like you were not trying to get n your feet again. Sometimes bad things happen no matter what you do.
-
So sorry for all the trouble you having I hope and pray things turn around for you and the family.
-
Just finished reading a few pages of this thread and, to the OP, I am so thankful that your situation turned around for the better. And I am happy that you will be able to stay with us. Thank God!
-
I am sorry that you are leaving. Even sorrier for your predicament that you are in for now. I will pray for you and your family for things to get better. A bad time to sleep in cars.
-
I sorry for what you are going through. Have you tried going to get some kind of assistance welfare, shelter .... got to the yellow pages and see what is out there. I hope you find a solution for your situation.
-
Sorry to hear that! Ask help from your Church or a Monastery.
-
Check with the local churches and DHS offices for emergency shelter. Also, maybe go to the library to still attempt to earn money online. I'm sorry to hear this, I wish you guys well :'(

I would have to say this post has haunted me since I first saw it. It is a bad weather year for living in a car and I sincerely hope and pray this person or family has had something come through for them. I try to pray for them every night. And believe however you want I know miracles happen I was living in a delapidated house and praying every night God would make a way where there seemed to be no way and believe me it happened beyond my wildest expectations.
-
That is terrible. I wish you all the best in the future. I hope it's just a temporary setback.
-
I thought about the weather too. I'm glad you were blessed and I wish many more blessings to you and also the topic creator.
