UPDATE: Hi all, I am giving everyone an update. Today was actually a rough day as I had to have out patient surgery, and this is completely unrelated to what I was struggling with for the past few years.

I had an operation because I had a 7mm kidney stone that was stuck in the tube from my kidney to the bladder.

On a much better note. Austen from Lambda School has been in contact with me and has been so great about getting me out of the shelter so I can concentrate on getting the next job.

With that being said, and I am a bit embarrased to do this, but I put together a GoFundMe campaign as I still need a few extra things that would really help me out. Please read the summary at the page here: https://www.gofundme.com/homeless-dev-support

P.S. I have an interview with a startup on Friday (8/10).

Thanks for any and all support.

Thanks, they are a new startup with 1st round funding. I also have sent out tons more resumes as I am feeling more confident and prepared as things come together.
