COLI SITE EDIT - Cashapp: RSMB123 This poster has NOT asked for financial help, but his story is legit and he could use some assistance. Please help if you’re able.







I hate that I result in doing this because I don't want to be that human....but here it goes...

I been away for a few days because my son, wife, and I slept in a car. We are homeless, lacking resources, no money, nothing. My wife has a job but won't get paid until the 15th. Shelters around here are full, family and friends turned their backs on us. And I been doing all I can to find a job but it's just been a struggle in itself.

I'm not asking for money, I'm asking you all to hope for a breakthrough today. Anything to help us get out of this car and into a hotel or something until the funds get in order. Shoot, when I wrote that book and posted it...that was real life. That is all I have to contribute to this time as my laptop and my wife's laptop are at a pawn shop.

I do not know what else to do. Usually I walk around these parts with a big K on my chest trying to tell people that things will be ok and etc. But right now I have no other options other than to ask yall to keep me and my family in y'all prayers.

I'm typing this on my wife's phone at moment and wishing for a better beginning. We did everything and feel like nothing will ever work. My wife will lose her car insurance tomorrow and etc.

So...just...sighs...don't forsake your family. If you are passionate about something, don't let this post stop you for I do not have no regrets. It's just life...

Thank you for those that took the time out to read this long ass thread lol but we are in a bad bind right now....

Here's the thing...

I am a learning coach for my son since he's home schooled. So I been looking for some part time or remote work, because he's gifted. So its a pain in the ass to put him in public school due to his track record (blurting out shyt, being wild talkative, anxiety attacks, etc).

Trust, if this wasn't a issue, I would be making moves..but for now, I accepted the situation as I am focusing on being a writer and maybe...going back to school just to finish my business degree.

On the real, I would run back to retail in open arms and baby oil over some fukking warehouse work. shyt is like slavery with benefits :francis:

True. Just taking it one day at a time and seeing what will work in the end. For now, I'm just maintaining and happy that those woes are behind my family and I as we try to excel on our new beginning in life.

UPDATE:

So we found a apartment that is in our budget. It's first come first serve though and it will be available in a few weeks. We just hoping that everything goes smoothly and we can finally be out of these hotels once and for all.

Once again, we are so grateful for this place to give us a second chance into a right direction.

Have you looked at getting an IEP for your son? He will get specialized services that could improve the public school experience. You can supplement after school hours. An IEP doesn’t mean he’s “slow” or anything like that. Some kids just need additional resources.

It would be more beneficial if both you and your wife worked. It could turn your situation around quickly. Even if you could grab something part time or working in the school system.

A IEP is not easy with this one lol. We still trying to get services to help with his issues, but it's like a process in a process. Trust, I legit want to work, hence why I been looking for stay at home gigs, but it seems more of a hassle. Sometimes the shyt seems ingrating because a part of me wishes my son was "normal", but what's normal anymore?

I am blessed that he's different from most kids despite his issues within.

Still waiting. That's the point. Breh...you know how long we been trying to tell doctors and etc that our son needs to be tested? Also, the fact that he is not like other children. The boy and I was talking about inflation at a friggin CVS:mjlol:. On the real, I would rather stay close to him than to throw him in a school and "make moves", when I know there's more to this whole situation than finding a simple job. I am trying to do more than just a 9 to 5. Hence why I posted my book on The Coli in hopes of folks to see the growth. I want to help out those that are struggling with the woes of life. From a homeless perspective to a family situation.

Its been long overdue and I know its going to be a process, but I believe its going to happen. For now, the only thing I can say about this situation and a net to fall on...is the fact that God got it. I never said that whole hearted because I was so used to the perspective of "man=work". In reality, I done that and missed out on the issues with my marriage and son. I missed out on my wife's issues and her true calling, because I was chasing after this "dream" that never was the case. I missed out on my son's issues because I was caught up with escaping to a 9 to 5, instead of settling for whom I truly am.

A writer and a minister.

If it takes one income and miracles to prosper for us to get in the right direction, so be it. But I would rather wake up and see my boy doing good in online school, while I anticipate on disability (hopefully) and profit for my book...versus being caught up in this rat race and fail to see the growth of my family.

I seen the shyt for myself with my wife's father and how work became his tombstone. Dude laying out in a lazy boy because he's deaf, dumb and blind, rather than living because he wanted to kill himself in a business, instead of following his dreams.

I'm breaking that chain. Yes, these two years and some change sucks...but I had to learn the hard way. I understand folks perspectives on just getting a job and calling it a day Trust me I do, but even when I had a gig and my wife had a gig...I was never happy and my marriage was on the chopping block.


Yall heard it from the marsupial's mouth because yall more of a family than the ones that deserted me:wow:

Damn I missed this entire thread. Salute to the Coli fam for helping breh get back on his feet. Life happens, that’s why I’m so particular and try to plan out everything in life. My girl gets on me about being so calculated, but I fear homelessness and being broke :yeshrug:

Anyway, glad you’re stabilized. Best wishes.

Breh...I was the same way with planning out shyt. It got to the point where my wife used to complain about it and say that "you can't prepare for what you can't see". Trust, I did every single thing possible to avoid such a depressing time:

  • Working almost 70 hours a week and missing my family
  • Trying to find any sort of gig, business plan, and career to make my name be known
  • Convincing my family to move up north (because I got tired of living in Georgia)
Yet, somehow...it was like God was preparing me for such a troublesome time. We knew the food banks, we picked the spot to sleep out of our car (Wally World), and I found the place to take a birdbath in. In a way, it was unavoidable, especially with the magnitude of our problems. It took so much for me to just put the "koala" gimmick aside and just be real with the situation. We needed help and yall came through more way than one. The prayers, finances, and just any gifts imaginable helped us through the darkness and now we are on the verge of getting a roof over our heads.

I would never in my wildest cynical mind realize that I have friends and family all over the world because of just a simple thread....until September the 5th :wow:
