Santa Cruz County ~ CA
I had the duffle bag in which I kept my sleeping bag (A tarp actually) , nonworn clothes , " gadgets " such as a flashlight and the masking tape that was keeping the duffle together , and many publications , stolen from me the night before last :cry: .
That means I'm in for coldness , in SC's pretty chilly night (I have an extremely inadequate substitute now .) ~ Incidentally , the overnight shelter here is fixin' to close for the season so never mind that .
I could be reasonably warm , after while , with the tarp over me (I had a " homeless/yoga " mat too but that was stolen back in Seattle ~ and a bit rain-sheltered - I tended to sleep on top of the duffle (though bumpy) :( .
I REALLY NEED HELP !
Money is always helpful .

...(Whether I'm repeating or not ~ I don't feel like rechecking) ~ I have only these dirty clothes on , no sleeping bag (1 minimal bedsheet aside) no bag to carry things or sleep on :( ...........
Some $ would be helpful , it could let me do something :-( .

...I was going to list possible things I could get to help/alleviate my situation if I got some additional money now , but no time now ~I will mention that some - POSSIBLE _ " get housing " situations in SC exist - I just have to stay alive/be more contactable-attractive appearing , in a sense .

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. I have no physical solutions for you. IMO, the internet is the wrong place to look for money. Most of us live a long way away and many others choose to remain anonymous as a rule, for their own safety.

Here's a resource I found with a quick google search, just in case your internet connection isn't good enough to google yourself. http://www.phc-santacruz.org/storage/pd ... .21.12.pdf

You might want to also try asking at churches. They may have extra sleeping bags, potential shelter information an just maybe a gift certificate to buy essentials.

I hope you find warmth soon, and that a longer term solution is found.

...Really briefly , I recived most of my SSD (6/7 (All figures approximate .) of it .) ~ There was not quite enough to get all 7ths out with the ATM fee , now , basically , I can either spend $18 on something at CVS or Walgreens' of just $8-minus and $10 cash .
I have got some clothes , a suitcvase of sorts , underwear at the SC CVS which is WA-A-AY more expensive than the K-Mart in Watsonville , etc. Also Nix ! clone , I am in Watsonville , I intend to go to the HL mission in V and use the Nix there and get my old clothes washed and then put on the4 new ones ~ At least I'll be (Though I was there more than week?? ago .) be fully clean briefly .
