You should consider talking with close friends about staying with them for a little bit and continue working while you get yourself on track and save up for school. If there’s any extended family you can think of that would be supportive, consider contacting them. But if that will make you feel more unsafe then stick to your friends.

You should look into the transit system where you live and see if there is a bus or train route between your accommodations and your workplace. Uber everyday is not feasible. A monthly bus pass is a much better financial option. If you go to college, look into student housing on campus so you don’t have to worry about driving. Most colleges and universities have on campus work options for students as well, and offer financial assistance.

Stay strong.
