Homeless - Needing help
Hey all. I hate to do this again, but I've found myself in the position where I am once again homeless, and at the worst time possible.
Due to COVID-19, many resources for homelessness are closed or unavailable. Libraries are closed, fast food restaurants have closes their dining areas, meaning that there's basically no where to go inside and sit.
So I'm once again having to ask for donations. I need money for car insurance (I'm hugely fortunate to have a car), my phone bill, food, and if I can save up enough, possibly and AirBnb for temporary shelter.
I'm also selling and commissioning chainmail jewelry and accessories that I've been making. I've been putting off this post because I wanted to get more items made as examples and items that are ready-to-sell, but I live in Georgia, and temperatures are already starting to go up here, and sleeping in my car is becoming more and more difficult, and the need for money is becoming more and more urgent.
I currently hold a custodial job with the county public schools in my area, but with schools out, there's no work and I have no other income. I'm in a very rough position that would be difficult at the best of times, but because of COVID-19, it's especially difficult and dangerous, and any help is appreciated.

UPDATE! 6/3/20
Update #1: Thank you all so much so much for your support! I have found a safe place to stay, but money continues to be tight, between car insurance, phone bill, and food. Additionally, recent emergency car repair has left me broke, and I'm forced to post this update a little earlier than I wanted (I wanted to make more examples).
Update #2:
Colors!!!
With the funds from sales, I was able to buy colored aluminum rings, which enables me to make some exciting things. It also enables me to be able to make
Pride Merch!
That's right, it's pride month, so maybe consider supporting this homeless queer artist.
You can custom order any flag, or indeed any color pattern you want, as long as it can be made with the colors posted above.
The catch is: colored rings are going to cost 50% more. So for example a $12 bracelet made out of all colored rings will cost $18. But if only half the bracelet it colored rings, it will only cost 25% more, so a $10 bracelet will cost $15. The pictures below will list prices like this:
stainless steel cost : half colored cost : all colored cost
Note: some prices have been updated
Bracelet 1 - $12 : $15 : $18
Bracelet 2 - $16 : $20 : $24
Bracelet 3 - thin bracelet: $12 - thick bracelet: $16 (no colored option)
Bracelet 4: see above (no colored option)
Bracelet 5 (NEW) - $12 : $15 : $18
Earrings 1 - $6 : $7.50 : $9
Note: prices have been updated
Edit: added colored earrings
Thank you all for your tremendous support in donations, purchases, and in spreading the word! Send me a private message if you're interested in purchasing, and again, my paypal is haerodiel@gmail.com, and my venmo is @avatarofthevast.
Hope everyone has a safe Pride Month 💖
Important Update 9/13/20:
My car just broke down, and I don't have enough money to fix it, and I'm panicking. My main source of income currently is Doordash, so I NEED my car to make money. I'm really scared, so I could really use some help either with donations or commissions.
Thank you to everyone for your past and continued help.
