One month on the road .......
9 the of March, I left the place of work and residence of 3years with my mum, dog and cat.the next day I brought the pets into welfare homes where I would be paying for their boarding. Next I brought my mum to a social worker to get a shelter for her, at the very last min she got a temp place for the night. I slept at a sub power station staircase and had MacDonald for dinner.
Next day noon met mum for 2 hours before she was taken to another shelter and I went straight to another social welfare to ask for financial assistance as I am now jobless and homeless. spent the night in another MacDonald and when morning came on a Wednesday went to another welfare the seek employment.
since it is a long term one and it's vacancy would be months away,I seek my old boss for temporary work. that very night I was working in a condo as a security officer.
come mornings I search nearby places where I could sleep for hours to prevent me from getting hungry.
17 March Monday.morning , I began my task to rebuild my life, went to the HDB (housing development board) to apply a flat under the single scheme. soon in a month I would know of it was successful..

But I guess thats where we differ Morgen..
Sorry to here about your situation. Although you seem to be as on top of things given your predicament. Stay strong
Was upset but I brush it off. . more important task to think about. next I ask the officer in charge of my mum to bring her to HDB to seek a rented flat ASAP.
I have to produce my birth cert,dad death cert, mum marriage cert, my boss letter of employment letter,my mum and mine social security nest funds.
and to add stupidity to the equation, I was conned of 250dollars for a brand new Samsung Tab 3 8.0 !!!
only to be told it's a membership price IF I BOUGHT THE 2years membership which costs 1400dollars plus in a mobile shop in Chinatown.
thank you for reading my blog
I know I was lied to but it's my word against the shop but their receipts is their undoing so this week I have to file my compliant.
my boss said I lost some weight..and my working mates are trying to borrow what I have been saving so far,out of compassion I have lend 150dollars to two mates each.
this is my foot print of my tasks and mistakes.
I tend to forget my struggles and my commitment, the road is long and I have Just started, this is my story and an example of what to do and not to do. to motivate, learn and remind my self that I will not fade or waste away like some of the homeless I've met along the way.
Jesus guide this foolish, hopeless man that I am,
in your hands I give my life with tears of humility and shame.
Amen
All the best, and let us know how you are getting on.
so sorry to hear what have happened on you. you will get what you wish on the right time and on its best time. Hope a miracle happen on you, too my friend. Keep stronger and have a faith on what you do..
Sorry to hear about your situation...is there not a place where you can stay?...I hope you get full time employment soon and then your prediciment is solved...
I am truly sorry.

I have read alot of problem stories from you and the thing I like about this is that they seem to make you stronger! You bounce back with a job and your back to doing well.
Good for you and I pray that God keeps you blessed and healthy!
