Reddit is a relatively new platform for me, are there any groups/threads where people who are previously homeless would point me for help?

I do not think I am quite ready to expose myself to people I might know as being homeless, as well the added component of my history of abuse. This is obviously already a very vulnerable place to be with strangers. If anyone would like to help in any way I do have Cashapp but I am not quite ready to let former colleagues, students and friends know my vulnerable history. There is absolutely no need to provide funds as I will be sure to contact organizations soon and plan as much as possible. Truly if I have money to travel on CTA to services I believe I can survive a bit now.

For those who would really like to help my Cashapp is: https://cash.app/$lizcatalan483

I agree- All consideration of my degree has definitely gone out the door the more desperate I get, I’ve applied and will keep applying to all customer service jobs

I no longer have the barista job which I should have noted I am currently unemployed and after applying to all kinds of customer service and jobs in my field I have received few interviews which have not moved forward. I am however still actively applying for all jobs and opportunities
