I'm homeless now and have no idea what I'm doing.
I feel like I should give a little backstory though... I met a friend I originally planned for her to come down and visit me for a couple days so she could relax and get away from an abusive family she lives with, she ended up staying for 7 days and extended it for an additional week. My mother offered her safe haven with us and she moved in, everything was going well for about 2 weeks and then things just went to shit, my mother yelled at her, hit her, slammed the door in her face and threw her to the street. My mother is also physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive to me as well so I decided enough is enough and I walked out that fucking door with her. We've been getting assistance from a friend in the states whom bought us two nights at a hotel from Friday - Monday, it was nice of him to do that for us but obviously he couldn't keep doing that forever. Right now we're sleeping on the floor with a blanket, sheet and two pillows, it's not much but it's better than going to a shelter or living on the streets. We have to do this for 15 more days, I'm breaking down, I feel like crying, I've never experiences something like this before... I'm lost and have no idea what I should do next, I have resources and have a meeting with my odsp (Ontario disability support program) worker today so I can put her on my benefit, this will give us more money in December and January so we can find a permanent place to live. I care so much about her, I know I could survive on the streets, I know what to do if I'm hungry and an idea of where to go as to not freeze but honestly, I can't put her through that so I am basically couch surfing at this point and pleading with people in my very small social circle for help. I don't know how many, if any at all, have experiences homelessness before but any advice is helpful and I would be eternally grateful.
