i don’t know if it has anything to do with my last post as a few people commented they would donate, but i noticed way more hygiene products and clothes than before!! also got a sick pair of converse, if anyone wants to donate somewhere they know will help out i will continue vouching for this place
i might have to rent a room or stay in a hotel or something for the forseeable future, it’s sooo freaking humid and hot here in texas and i don’t know what to do. i’d hate giving this up for a bit but the heat is practically unbearable. if anyone has any ideas on what to do let me know. i can’t drive so when my girlfriend is at work i have to stay parked where there’s no shade on concrete and it’s god awful, especially now that it’s starting to hit the 90s :(
hello everyone! i got recommended this app called ioverlander which is used to find stealthy sleeping spots. people post, rate and review spots that users submit for overnight parking. you can find spots near your location sooo easily with the map too. this is super helpful and blew my mind discovering it lol. sorry if it’s been posted here before!
last time i posted this it got removed, but maybe times have changed.
i was in a really bad foster home a year and a halfish ago when i was 17. i would post here pretty frequently asking for help and advice. one day i got a DM from a guy saying he’d be a safe place to stay at, telling me he had kids, how to lie to my foster parents about where i was going, etc. he was 28.
we met up, he gave me xans, did what he did and i kept seeing him to escape my family. he has multiple domestic violence charges including against a pregnant woman, illegally modified guns, etc etc. another underage teenage girl he used to party with and also SA’d died of an OD after meeting him. it was torture staying with him. he also took pics of me when i was underage.
this post has no identifiable information on him or his account at all so i hope it doesn’t get removed this time. he’s very charming at first and really makes it seem like he’s a great guy to be around. he is not, obviously. i see vulnerable posts here sometimes and he has a track record of reaching out. please be careful of who you talk to and meet up with.
FYI i did report this but nothing ever came of it.
probably one of the worst city offenders for unwalkability. luckily this time there are sidewalks and the stop was relatively close (15m)! but i still had to walk under an overpass and was getting fried by the sun the entire time. every time im on the bus here i get bothered by crazies and overall its a fairly unpleasant, hot, slightly dangerous, and desolate experience.
there’s a bunch of young teens (high school age) here and i only fit in and can stay because i’m 19 😭 but i feel unwelcomed ofc.. the library is tiiiny and full of kids. houston is such a curious place
need actual back window covers still 😭😭 but here’s an updated tour of my little living space. i have a river flow 3 i think its called to power the tv, have no idea how long it powers it for yet as im just now testing it! enjoy :D
had to take them down because of headroom problems (they kept sagging) and ultimately they became a tangled knotted mess that i can’t really undo because of the wire 💔 before i cut them down if anyone knows any hacks to detangle these please let me know
19f, i got my CPS records back and since my parents passed, i had no legal guardians and could do and go wherever i pleased. this pretty much formed me into who i am today, i have a lot of trouble staying in one place and a very warped view of adulthood in general. chronic house hopping / couch surfing / vagabonding has just been my thing for as long as i remember. did anyone of you guys also grow up like this?
19f. im in houston texas, went to a youth shelter to leave a bad relationship situation. they operate on a raffle system and i lost the raffle to get a bed for the night. they gave me a sheet with other resources and i had to leave. other places have really really awful reviews, extremely long waitlists, etc so i don’t know where to go. if anyone has good experiences with a shelter in houston please help.

19f — well i cant leave a review.. because i couldnt get in. i went, sat in line for like an hour (they do intake at 3pm-4pm) and did a raffle that decides whether you can stay or not. i drew a blank, meaning i have to leave and try again tomorrow or a later date. even after that, its a four week wait, so you have to pull the raffle nightly iirc. got recommended this place a lot but it sucks that it’s purely luck-based to get into. i was trying to get space from heavy relationship problems but have to go right back where i came from which is…. yeah. it would have been safer for me to just stay and idk what going back will look like. i imagine its worse for people who truly dont have anywhere. they gave me a list of some other shelters and i just had to leave. there was also a fight and someone threatened to shoot someone else while i was there 😀.
ETA: thank you guys for all the comments, sorry if i dont respond i’m extremely busy but as of now im safe.
no free feet pics for yall im sorry, but me and my gf are indeed able to sleep / lay comfortably in a twin in our van and i just wanted to show you guys some pics of how, since some of you were asking!
these are all the questions i get asked frequently that i can think of, if anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask (sorry if my response time is slow)!
been recommended here a few times and finally got to go; got hot food AND DESSERT, canned food, clothes, they also have access to showers and laundry etc. very welcoming place, i really recommend it to any struggling youth :] often don’t hear good reviews of places like these so i just wanted to give a shout out.
