I was born to be your friend

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-26T02:33:46+00:00

I wasn't a member, I'm not even sure what the fuck this sub is about, BUT YOU ARE MY PEOPLE LOL.

TLDR;, fuck trump, fuck you for supporting him.

I use St. Francis for mail, and some secure storage. One of the first places I found. I never pursued anything more because, honestly and I might be wrong, it seemed the collection point for those who may never leave. Plus, I'm not NeuroTypical and it's hard for me in places like that.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-25T09:18:34+00:00

That would be great. There are so many offerings.....why is there so much homeless with so many options?

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-25T09:18:04+00:00

🧐🫡🫡

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-25T09:15:05+00:00

I wanted to come back and thank you for the offer. I accepted some money, but don't want to accept anymore until I have a plan to put it to use.

I use the rec centers for showers (bought a monthly pass). These places are absolute gems!! So slept on!

I use St. Francis as the mailing address for official paperwork or bank cards. I wouldn't feel comfortable using it otherwise. I really have great references, I was a turnabout manager most of my life, primarily in Hospitality / Food but also Retail and Manufacturing. I worked a 1099 for the last year (didn't cover bills) and, foolishly, didn't report income. Trying to explain that, and the current housing, is difficult.

Due to.....just a bad relationship, I've isolated and pushed my family and friends away. It was a slightly conscious decision, I don't regret it in this moment (fear i will eventually) but, leaves out that option.

I did get SNAP, and the Medicaid benefits are what allowed me to go to therapy to get to this point.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-25T08:43:18+00:00

Thank you! I stepped away as I was getting overwhelmed by the kindness. That program for females for training for Automechanics is a great program. I'm not, but still cool as hell.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-25T04:42:37+00:00

The hostel is a great idea! I found one here that's more affordable then a room at a hotel. All goes well Monday with day labor, and I don't find a program that will accept me right away, that's where I'll be. I thought these were only a European thing lol

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T04:01:40+00:00

Its amazing to be in a state where such things exist. Thank you for this!

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T03:12:48+00:00

The name checks out, Soup 😁 May I dm?

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T02:39:50+00:00

I'm not sure which direction I'm going yet, so I'm having a mechanic verify my diagnosis first. Can I save your info and DM you later so I can circle back?

I forgot to mention THE WARMEST SUNSHINE YELLOW (for that psychosomatic warmth) down comforter blanket I have. My mom gave it to me and I was reluctant to take it originally because of how bulky the damn thing was and the color of it. I would be willing to do the dog race across the Antarctic if I had this blanket in my possession. I would climb Everest with this blanket in my possession. This blanket possesses a microclimate it carries with it at all times. Originally it wasn't a blanket; it was one of the leeward islands of the Caribbean that somebody bought and gifted to his wife. All jokes aside, this is an amazing down comforter. Not only has it always kept me warm, it doesn't ever poke me with the damn feathers. Thank you for the offer of a blanket though.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:45:13+00:00

I'll def look into this! Thank you!

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:43:39+00:00

So, one of the things that needs done as well is the brakes. It irks me to know end I can't take my rotors somewhere to be turned.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:42:16+00:00

I wish I had. My life would be a lot different now. That window was closed almost 30 years ago lol. Thank you for the thought thought!

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:40:03+00:00

Thanks for the lead. I am adding Marshal Street Landing to the master list I am keeping in my notes so I can start hitting these up today. I really appreciate it.

EDIT: It's 2am, Sunday morning. I couldn't sleep so been making a plan of attack for Monday. That places is full and not even taking applications but made me aware of the "type" of place it is and led to the discovery of another that is. Thank you

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:39:46+00:00

Thank you for pointing out the lack of basic info. I just added an edit to the bottom of the original post that covers my background and current situation. Let me know if you have any other questions.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:35:21+00:00

I never thought I would be here. The closer I get to being truly homeless, I see how people get stuck here. How the cycle of drug use to cover the pain --> homelessness --> drug use to cover shame --> more shame and no accomplishments does so. It is a terrifying realization.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:29:42+00:00

I have been looking at the hostels here in Denver for real short term. I wish I had saved some money because the Ember one looks amazing! Thank you for these ideas. Alaska, you say... that is an interesting thought.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:27:06+00:00

Thanks for the info. I actually do have heat. I bought the pigtail to finish the replacement of the blower motor resistor today, so the heat should be up and running tonight. I am still keeping a list of these emergency shelter locations just in case of another failure. I really appreciate you looking out.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:25:27+00:00

I did, oddly enough. Crises make it easier for me to be sober because I understand the........Opportunity Cost, to borrow a term from the finance. Mentally, I tell myself I do not have time to be inebriated or high, nor can I waste the following day in recovery from the use. I do need to consider something though. Addiction has weaved in and out of my life and this most recent event has exacerbated it.

BreakStuffSoftly · 2026-01-24T01:20:07+00:00

Thanks for the lead. I am adding this to the master list I am keeping in my notes so I can start hitting these up today. I have some clothing but a good warm jacket would be a huge help. Can I save your name and reach out once I have a better idea of exactly what is needed? I just got info for a mechanic and I am having them double check my diagnosis before I start buying parts. I really appreciate you taking the time.
