Sorta homeless, more displaced...not really sure what to do...

Posted by ThrewandAway on Wednesday August 07, 2013 @08:39PM
from the self-post dept.

So I left what was a very abusive situation the other day. Just got up at 3am, packed whatever I could carry, and left. Drove to some family a couple hours away who luckily had a futon for my cat and I.

I know this is a real long shot but does anybody on the east coast (preferably near the Carolinas) have room and board they can offer for maybe a month or so. I managed to carry off most of my electronics which I'm definitely willing to part with. Zero cash though. Recent graduate but I'm actually pretty credentialed and highly skilled for a graduate in my field so I'm sure I can pick up some work soon.

Not real sure what else I can do...just overwhelmed at the moment.

I'm in Charleston, SC and have a really strong community of friends that will be willing to help. If that's doable, email me jmphry at google's email platform .com.

My email's in my profile. I have some contacts in the Carolinas (N. and S. Mostly around Columbia, SC.) that I may be able to use to help you out. Let's chat and see if we can find something for you.

That was the right decision and it took some real courage. I'm in TX, if you find yourself you want to come to Austin. Everything will be better from now on though, brother.

Credit card? Horrible advice, but you should be able to pay it back fairly quick with your skillset.

Unfortunately, it's currently maxed on account of me supporting us while I was in in school instead of them supporting us while working (they made very little).
