Living in My car In a Church Parking Lot...

[Ami529]

I was homeless, living in my car for 18 months, and I had a job the entire time. So yes... If someone (homeless or otherwise) makes the effort, and has follow-through, then there are jobs for whomever most applies themselves.

So if you had one the entire time then you didn't apply for a job whilst actually being homeless. So how can you say homeless people can get jobs? You only had one because you had one from before you became homeless. Most businesses won't go near you if you can't give them a home address when you apply.

There are only a few jobs around this area and I've applied repeatedly. I've had a couple of interviews, but nobody has called back. In person, I have a couple of tics that sort of force me to explain I'm autistic. I have very limited job experience. And everywhere I've applied has plenty of job applications of people without these issues. Prior to being homeless I was income based housing but I lost that after reevaluation because of changes they made on how they evaluate. I had no way to pay my rent and was evicted.

But, besides all that, I'm just completely shocked by the responses. I'm not used to a lack of empathy from other atheists.

Is this your first day on the internet? Do you really think total strangers are going to transfer you money when they have no idea who you really are and no way of knowing whether what you say is true or not. Maybe you want to try somewhere else, this isn't a place for you to beg for money.

A lot of these pages have had great success, all from people relying on the compassion of strangers. And I'm not begging for money. Any kind of support like sharing my page, becoming a supporter, or giving me fundraising tips is great. I wouldn't want anyone to donate that doesn't have the disposable income to give to charity. I would never ever ask for that.
