Perhaps a dumb or already answered question, but is there any way you can set up a bank account? I'd be more than willing to help out a bit.

That's not how that works, unless they're also banning all guests period. If there's already a tenant who signed the lease and agreed to take care of the property, it doesn't matter who they invite in. If the property gets fucked up on the tenants watch, he'll be liable for it. I've never had a guest banning provision in any of the leases I signed.

A landlord can have policies limiting how often or long guests can stay to protect their interests and liability without banning all guests. There are things a landlord is liable for regarding tenants on their property.

Also, they don't want a situation where a guest becomes an unauthorized tenant, who is staying there without being on the lease and unaccounted for and unvetted. They don't want to have to deal with the legal issues related to removing them if they become a problem.

Nah, don't talk like that. Even hinting about it could make you liable for a block and then it'll just make it harder for people here to help you.

Didn't @Questionmarktarius and @The_Scarecrow mention wanting to send money to you?


Honestly, I wonder if I wouldn't be better off just getting myself admitted into a mental hospital, I'm at my breaking point, and my mental/emotional health was taxed even before this all happened. Even if I physically survive this, nothing else will make it.

For Christ's sake, I'm cradling my brother's head on my lap just so he has a soft place to *try* and sleep while I'm 53% phone charge away from losing contact with the only people in the world who care.

And yes, others have offered money, but I don't have any way to receive it.

If you're posting on here from a phone, I'd assume you have a smart phone.

Have you tried an app like Venmo?

This is a crapshoot but... do you have any crypto ATM machines in your area?

What about paypal? Can't you get a prepaid card and have the funds put on that?

Nope, I don't have an address to work with, and I haven't showered in almost a week, so I'm probably not "presentable" anyway.

Because I'm pretty much worthless, which just makes me more hesitant to accept money because it feels like a poor investment.

Depends on how I get a prepaid card. I don't have a bank account, and only $20 onhand, and for that matter all of the stores here are closed (even the Wal-Mart shut down at 8:30 PM).

I think I have a Venmo account now at least, but I've never used something like this before so I don't know how it works exactly.

By virtue of being human you have inherent worth, and thus deserve food, shelter, healthcare etc.
Society likes to judge your worth by productivity, that's fucking bullshit.

For a lot things, persons, and projects alike, their value increases through investments. You haven't had the opportunity to be invested in and haven't found your way to invest in yourself. My words are going to ring hollow but your time will come. But you have to get through this ordeal.

Already 11:45 PM here, probably going to fall asleep when my body forces it, no way I can relax into it.

Also need to go, but no restrooms until morning. Maybe. So many places closed until further notice.

Get a PO box ASAP, doesn't have to be fancy and can be as low as $2 a month.

Alternatively some UPS stores will allow you to use their address for packages and mail, although idk any are open right now.

Okay Inferno Dive Dragoon, Im going to PM you the information for a Wal-Mart gift card I just got not even a few hours ago. Give me your Venmo username in the PM so I can add you. This pandemic has left me short on funds but I will be sending you money every now and then.

Were going to get you and your brother through this. Send me any information you can on any skills or previous work history you have. Education, too. This week, Ill work on creating a resume for you. Ill also write a cover letter, too. These will be sent to you via PM. It may not be much but hopefully, it helps but were gonna need that address so I can get started.

If you can get mail sent to an address for pick up, I can always send you a box of food or whatever items you need. Not too long ago, I was in your position and I had no one to help me like always. Theres no way Im going to watch that happen to another person.

Now the buses are banning all "non-essential" travel and by default, they assume all homeless have no essential place to be, but rather they think we're only riding the bus to get out of the rain and cold. I can't go anywhere unless it's on foot, and I just don't fucking care to try anymore because I'm weak and tired.

I haven't eaten in almost 48 hours, I slept on a damp sidewalk last night (after being shooed away twice from drier places by local security), my phone only has 18% charge left before I go dark and nobody hears from me again.

I'm done, I give up, I can't fucking function at this point. If I'm not allowed to die, then I'll have to settle for being locked up in a psyche ward instead, I just don't know how I go about voluntary admittance (assuming they're even taking anyone).

I'm thankful for all the help, but there comes a point when we have to admit that not everyone can (or even deserves) to be saved. My brother will have to make his own decision about how much longer he wants to endure this, I can't do anything for him now.

Don't give up. Look around the dumpster of fast food places to see if they've thrown anything out recently and eat. Its better than nothing. Your situation is definitely bad but you can survive if you want to.
