What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless
FOOD
- Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
- grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
- different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
- some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
- Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
- sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
- Some churches offer short term residence
- Find your nearest homeless shelter
- Look for places that are open to the public
- A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
- A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
- Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
- Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
- Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
- Local beaches, go for a quick swim
- Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
- Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
- Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
- first aid kit
- sunscreen
- a travel alarm clock or watch
- mylar emergency blanket
- a backpack is a must
- downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
- sleeping bag
- travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
- swiss army knife
- can opener

Nimali Henry was arrested on March 21, 2014 for disturbing the peace, simple battery and unauthorized entry after a dispute with another woman occurred while Henry was trying to visit her daughter. She was locked up because she could not afford the $25,000 bond needed to secure her release. In April, She died in an isolation cell — but justice may have arrived in the comeuppance of four Lousiana prison officers.

DONT CALL THE POLICE CALL THE FAMILY
there’s a fine line between appreciating a culture i.e learning a language (not just putting random characters in your blog for “aesthetic”) or eating foods from different cultures… and appropriating a culture i.e putting on a kimono, bindi, wearing cornrows etc. when 1.) you’re wearing it because it’s “trendy/hip/sexy” and 2.) you have no knowledge/relation to the cultures these things belong to.
Another god like creation from black people
