I was in a car accident in February, the car was totaled. Insurance didn't even cover what was left of the loan. I lost my job because of lack of transportation. I live in a rural area, the closest store (gas station) is about a 2 hour walk. I applied everywhere I could feasibly walk to (I chose 3 hours / 10 miles as my filter).
I have called 211 and they gave me phone numbers to call and a housing authority site to apply to. The website says the waitlist is closed and I am unable to.
I do not have family, I aged out of the fostercare system. I am 30 and do not qualify for jobcorps.
I applied for SNAP and now recieve $70/month which I can feasibly live off of. I am grateful for that.
I have to move out from where I live at the end of this month (asking to stay longer or getting the money to pay another months rent at this location is not an option).
I have posted in facebook groups, applied every day on multiple sites for any job that I could possible make it to.
I have about $22 left to my name. I have mentally prepared myself for living in the woods. I am scared and don't know what to do. I have tried to sell my books (pretty much the only thing I own besides sentimental knick knacks and necessary clothes).
How do I prepare? I have 23 days to become outdoor ready. I have basic hygiene supplies, a water bottle, backpack, and a good pair of boots. What are some important things to consider before this is my life? I will be losing cell service on June 6th so I will have access to the internet until then.
Even words of encouragement would be helpful right now.
I am located in north central florida
