NEED ADVICE.
My friend is planning on killing himself next year if he can't get out of his abusive mother's house but he apparently got blacklisted because his last employer lied about him doing misconduct because his boss really hated him and he can't find a job because of that.
He has virtually no money can't apply for food stamps or any government assistance because he lives with his mother and his mother takes all those benefits and gives nothing to him so he's solely relying on the generosity of people donating to him personally.
He only has a high school diploma and can do general manual labor doesn't have any specialty or skills. Any advice on how to help him
He lives in Arkansas 32 years old.
Is there a place where he can receive donations? A bit of cash may motivate him to a fresh start. Can you help him temporarily as a friend?
We always assume "the family" will fill its "functions" so he ends up with a mother who takes his money and beats him at 32. He needs out of "family" and into organic reality, which doesn't always work according to our social engineering calculations.
Cute kitty, is it his?
@Peep He used to live in my state but he doesn't anymore and I can only send him money occasionally because I have to pay for my own bills but I normally can't send him more than a hundred which doesn't really do anything for him. Because his mother refuses to help share groceries at all so he's basically using that money purely for food so he doesn't starve.
Me and him have agreed multiple times if he can somehow get out of state and find any job whatsoever in that state he would be perfectly fine with living paycheck to paycheck as long as he's just anywhere else.
Problem is $100 is not really going to get him anywhere out of state with food mony for long enough for him to guarantee you find a job without possibly starving or going homeless in that new state.
The thing he wants more than anything is just any job whatsoever that would allow him to save enough money to eventually move out.
He said he's desperate enough to even work for $10 an hour or lower buddy basically can't leave his state.
Also cat is not his it's from someone on fedi I decided to include the image because it's cute and wicked people's attention but he own a cat.
I was just thinking that if someone started some kind of 'go-fund-me' thing perhaps he could have a bit more to start the process of moving and get himself in a better position to get a job?...
