It is a long story, rooted in the aforementioned incurable medical condition. Serious health problems are a common root cause or contributing factor to homelessness. (Source: I had a college class on homelessness and public policy some years prior to ending up on the street.)

At this point, if I could come up with a few thousand dollars in relatively short order, I believe I could get off the street under circumstances that would not make my health worse. But that's a rather tall order to fill, given my current circumstances.




Could you elaborate on your living conditions a little more? What is stopping you from gaining a place of residence?

I am quoting you this time so that if you change your comment completely for a fourth time, people will at least know what I am replying to.

I have a deadly genetic disorder. I need a high degree of control over my living space. Renting is a no go. I need to go from homeless to homeowner. I think I could arrange that for around $10k, but, alas, I don't happen to have that kind of money just laying around somewhere.


My condolences for your illness. Best of luck in your endeavours.
