I came across this because I too was looking to see if there was some type of financial assistance for single people. I have been a teacher for a while and just got tired of dealing with BS from a counterproductive system. I quit. I've apply for hundreds of jobs. The temp agencies that I called didn't have anything for me, even though I have just as much clerical experience as I do teaching experience. I am in graduate school. I have used the balance from my student loans and my savings. It's been five months and I have been hired to teach in the area in which I am earning my masters degree. It's been two weeks since I was interview and I am broke. I was even looking for loans to help. Who's going to loan me money when I am not employed? Maybe if I lived in the U.K. this would be possible. I agree that you have to be sick, have children, or be homeless to get any type of assistance. I am not saying that these people aren't worse of than I am. It's sad that I would have to fall upon these horrible circumstances before I get some help. I guess seeking peace of mind and happiness has its price. Its just for rich folks! I understand you loud and clear.

Although I live in Utah I am thinking there probably aren't as many resources as in California, unless you belong to the LDS Church and I don't. Although I still have a job and am not happy, I am afraid of what will happen if I leave it or it leaves me. At my age (58) I don't own a home, I rent, and am virtually by myself. I barely make enough to pay my rent, utilities, etc. and I don't spend very much on food. So I find myself wondering, what would happen if I need assistance? I guess I assumed it was out there, but in my heart doubted it. I checked on food stamps and make just enough to not qualify but was shocked by the low amount that is provided to those who do! Anyway, for some reason my heart went out to you and although I may not be able to offer you any "sources", I can remember you in prayer. I guess this is how people become homeless or live in their cars in they have one. Honestly, its discouraging.
