Can Any One Help Me Please?

Question by : Can any one help me please?
I live in Framingham, Massachusetts, I recently lost my job, I have no criminal record, and no drug or alcohol abuse issues. I just need a couch to crash on for a few weeks so that I’m not out in the cold. I’m reaching out to any one who would be generous to help me. I’ve tried shelters and government assistance. But I’ve been told that because I’m not a drug addict or a felon, or a mother with children, that I am not as important as other homeless people and I was denied. I’ve tried churches, the salvation army, and everything. Please I’m begging any one that can help me, do so. As to how I have internet, I did not sell my lap top because I’m trying to get a job every day I can. So please no condescending responses or comments. I’m truly reaching out for any help that is possible.

Since you have internet, try chouch surfing (or hospitality club, both do the same things). You’ll pretend you’re travelling to the city and you’ll be able to find a few days (maybe weeks’) stay without feeling like a loser.
(You could always try yahoo classifieds, or a local forum, or pretending you do have alcohol issues. The languages forum isn’t the right place to search).
Btw, how did you lose your home? You lost your job, but from that to being homeless it’s a pretty big lap…
