Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Just when times are hardest, it's when we need to learn a lesson the most important. Don't give up honey. You have a whole forum of friends.

Hello Angela and all,

Do you have and or offer house sitting services in the US?

Here I had a friend who had no home but for different though difficult reasons. She found an agency through which she worked called HouseSitters or something and for a period of three years lived in other peoples homes looking after them while they were away mainly for months at a time. She had to look after things including gardens and Koi fish and pets and so on. Often the houses she sat were also sold and while change of ownership was happening, she had to make sure that water ran through the pipes as it were and do minimal but necessary housekeeping and cleaning. Here she would have to visit these houses (identified for her by realty sales people) and run taps and flush loos etc every two to three days or so at one time she was looking after about 15 properties at the same time. Some were unfurnished and for these she had a blow up bed and a bicycle pump and minimal blankets and stuff. In many instnces she did ot earn and had the roof over her head but more often was paid below to okay money to live frugally but with food and warmth.

Maybe a person could offer this service directly getting leads from travel agencies (for those going on long cruises etc), or Realty Estate Agents or the Church or private ads or word of mouth referrals etc and so on. Also, maybe you can find a building to take care of as Building manager? Old age homes often have places open for care givers?

Keeping your faith in yourself will help you get through this time too. Maybe some or all of this chatter will spark off and idea for you? I hope so and wish you love and luck and safety.
