Hey everyone. I’m feeling kind of stuck right now and honestly a bit hopeless. I’ve been trying to keep it together for months, but I’m at a point where I just don’t know what to do anymore. I run an online business and earn consistently throughout the month it’s not a salary job, but I do make money. The issue is, since the beginning of the year, I’ve been living out of Airbnbs. I’ve had to prioritize safety and flexibility, especially as a woman, so I’ve been moving around a lot. But it’s been expensive. Between accommodation and food, it’s been really hard to save or get ahead. Now my current Airbnb is ending on the 5th, and I have no backup plan. It’s not that I’m completely broke I’ll still be making money this month but the timing is completely off. By the time I get my next bit of income, I’ll already be out. And I don’t have family or close friends I can stay with right now. I did try to look for a more stable place in July, but I couldn’t find anything that worked out. I feel like I’ve done everything I could to stay afloat, but this situation just caught up to me. I’m exhausted and honestly just feeling emotionally low about it. I don’t know what to do. This is a very temporary issue I just need a few days of stability so I can regroup. I’ve thought about shelters, but I don’t know what’s out there in Joburg that’s safe for women. And to be honest, the idea of even going to one makes me anxious, but I’m not sure what else to consider at this point. I’ve thought about shelters, but I don’t know if there are any safe, women-friendly ones in Johannesburg. I’m scared of putting myself in a vulnerable position, especially as a woman alone. But I’m running out of time, and I don’t want to be on the street.   submitted by   /u/SnooDoughnuts6175 [link]   [comments]
