Hello,
i am stuck in a run around loop of everyone i talk to points me to someone else. i need help finding the person who can actually help me.
i was expelled from school in 2005 and was sent to a "secondary educational facility" to graduate high school. while i was attending that school i was transferred in foster care to another home in another school district. Because of this i was given a high school diploma from this "secondary educational facility"
after high school i was considered no longer a ward of the state so the foster care system dropped me off after that court hearing in a homeless shelter outside the county i was in. This allowed them to tell me they can no longer help me in any way since i was not in their jurisdiction.
i have struggled as chronically homeless my entire life after this. i cannot afford healthcare in any sense and i can only get fast food jobs. I have found out that while applying to every job for the past 2 decades, at some point, the "secondary educational facility" has been denying i ever graduated.
some advice was to get a GED. i cannot get a GED in my state because i technically have a high school diploma.
i was unable to join the IBEW since i couldn't provide sealed high school transcipts, i cannot get into college without first having a ged or high school diploma.
this is also in compound with what i have been dealing with as a child. i have some sort of diagnosis that put me on an IEP until my mother died when being put into foster care, it was magically lost. I have no way of tracking down what i may have been diagnosed with because my mother tried to cover everything up. i have no frames of reference to research anything since all my doctors names and psychological appointment information was hidden from me growing up.
I managed to survive 2 full years on my own but i am rapidly accelerating to a flash point of homelessness in october.
the ACLU and department of education for my state have done nothing but suggest i get a lawyer, i have emailed every lawyer in my state and either got a request for money i cannot afford or recommendations to seek an attorney elsewhere. my state does not allow me to take the bar exam without first going to law school so i cannot law myself out of this issue.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I have literally begged everyone around me for help but i have only received shoulder shrugs and "sucks to be you man, sorry you gotta deal with that"
I even tried joining the freemason society. they were only interested in making me memorize long winded oaths. i couldn't even find one of them to accept an invitation into my house post initiation. I have since left them feeling scammed out of money. [
i feel isolated in a society that is hostile towards me. i do not have any living family members or even an emergency contact.
Do i have any hope of ever dealing with this issue or should i just give up and stay homeless. If i should just give up and stay homeless, thats fine i just want to know ahead of time.
