Here are some sources I was looking at today and some fun facts I got from them:

If you can get to Bloomington, IN, I can probably put you up for a bit.

I have absolutely no clue how I'd get there, but I'll keep the offer in mind if some means materialize. Thank you.

Again, I know I must have missed mention earlier, but what is the status of your significant other and why are you not residing with him while in such dire straights

Zac and I are still together, but he can't do anymore to help me. When I moved in with Mike and Amber, I told him to go back to his parents because I knew for sure that they would give him unconditional love and support, and he would always be able to stay warm and fed. That's an offer they are only extending to him. They want nothing to do with me and keep telling him to let me die in a ditch because I'm white trash. As for his friends, Charles and Jessica were the last left to ask. He has a very small, very close-knit network of friends and we've been trying the last two months to get some help from them

I'm sure my bf and roommate won't mind you staying with us until you can do something, I'm in wva now and if you need a place to crash before going to back to pa or whereever, let me know n ill talk to them

If we can figure out a way to get me up there, MUCH appreciated. What's the job situation look like in WVA? Are there a lot of jobs available in your area for people with retail, customer service, or data entry experience? Any relay centers or anything like that?

I know you really don't want to hear this. But I love you, my mom loves you, and while we would like to help, we can't financially or space wise. But have you tried to contact your father? Your mother? I know you had a HUGE blow out with her. But you said you are willing to swallow your pride. If you have to...call her. Beg her. You are her daughter. And no matter how much you hate each other...that relationship will never change. I love you and I wish with all of my heart I could help you more. Please...

I appreciate it, Steph.

As far as my mom goes...well, I got an email from her today basically in response to this entry saying, "I'd like to help you, but...why bother?" so I guess that's out of the question. Not to mention, if she had any concern for my well-being at all, I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place and we could turn the clock back a little over a year.

C'est la vie.

GAH! This makes me worry!!! I wish I could help, but I can't even offer you lodging as I don't live in my own place! I have no money, either. Quite literally, unfortunately. If I get anything extra, as I'll be selling some of my art soon, I'll try and send you what I can if I can still get in touch with you.
Good luck! I hope somehow someone is able to help you in any way at all! Maybe, if I sell a painting or something before you're gone, I could at least give you something for a bus ticket to get to one of these nice people who offered to put you up. I really hope I do.

[purrrsephone]

Aww, thank you Ali! I definitely won't ask you to do that, though.

Brenda and I have been talking tonight, I may have a plan in the works. If everything goes according to that plan, I should probably have the means to get a ticket together for myself and I should be settling in Philly for a little bit. If not...well, I have no clue. But I'm going to try not to think about that!
