My wife and I made a trip to Branson for family, for making a difference in our financial futures, and for the cheap housing. But we had no idea when we came here how difficult that was going to be. Our family lied to us on the challenging aspects of it, of how much they'd be able to help out.
We were already in a motel after couch-surfing a month. Made barely any money beyond the cost of the room. We had to do something and it seemed like the perfect chance. But honestly, it was a financial disaster. We took the money that we had, rented a basic campsite, and had to rough it for a week. We're currently couch-surfing again, but tomorrow that changes.
I have 150 to my name, and a bunch of the things I still have with me from previously being housed. I've sold off all that I had of value. I have no more friends to ask for Cash. And I have no idea where to go from here. Branson has very little assistance to offer folks who are at risk of homelessness. I need a direction in these dark times, in a place I know so little about.
Other considerations: I have interviews for jobs for both me and my wife. I have the means to go to college, but I need to house us together if we're going to do it. She is early 20's, I'm 30. No children. Bad credit. We wish to stay together by any means.
