I contacted you, but haven't heard back.....

wow. I will try to contact you. This is a good profile.

Good lucjk man. I was your age when I became homeless. All I can tell you is don't go to war. i'm 28 now, still in poverty but I have a camper RV to sleep in. I don't think thats good advice, but if you can get a job and an rv you'll be cool. Hope your woods are warm enough man. Good Luck to us all.

I'm from Minneapolis. You have to go to Century Plaza Downtown and apply for section 8 subsidized rent vouchers . But the waiting list is 2 years at least. I don't know> I'm homeless and single myself so I don't qualify for any of the family programs. But you could probably start at Caring and Sharing hands. Here is a list of links for you to check out. Minneapolis Public Housing Authority http://www.ci.minne apolis.mn.us/citywork/other/mp ha.html People Serving People (downtown, families only) http://minneapolis.abou t.com/od/volunteering/ig/Peopl e-Serving-People.--0Q/index.ht m Caring and sharing hands http://www.sharingandca ringhands.org/ I think your best path to take is get into an apartment at People Serving People while you apply for Section 8 from the Minneapolis public Housing Authority. With any luck you'll be in your own place sooner then later, considering the kids. Good luck. *Ray

I'm trying to sell some art to raise food funds! I'm homeless. I've lived in my RV/Studio for 10 years.
I have a Pop Art Formula of cat faced celebrities, done in marker on magazine and finished in found frames.
I think a good level of support would be a $10 donation per Artwork.

I've been shown in some very prestigious places despite my living situation (read, famous and valuable). I THANK YOU for your support.

I've tryed art selling with a bit of success. I live and work from my RV. I've been homeless for a decade now.
It's to bad being famous doesn't necessarily mean you'll be rich. I've been writing my experiences in Minnesota for 6 years now... maybe a bit more.. sometimes begging for help, but I never get out of the poverty pit.
I'm always afraid of getting pulled over and my "home" impounded beyond my ability to get it back.
I don't have tabs/registration ($40) the reason I would be pulled over.
It's pretty frustrating when you can't pay for simple things to get your life in order. Even more so when you can't buy food!

I'd drive off with nowhere to park and get caught trying to sleep in a parking lot somewhere with no tabs and this sh*t is just a nightmare. I don't even have gas money. I just want to get my head above water so I can focus on entrepreneurial ideas and get back to doing art projects I was involved in.

I can offer art for money. I have a signature piece that is funny, I'll try to ebay in the near future.

For now, I've figured out how to accept paypal donations! Click the orange button above.

THANKS FOR READING!
Peace on the planet.
