Me and My husband are homeless?

Asked by TrappedDean (8points) January 14th, 2019

We have been homeless soon for four years. But we are not 100% broke. But we dont have enough money to rent an apartment. We were thinking that if used workaway volontary work and saved that small money we had. And then bought a small land or something…
From what i know workaway offers housing and sometimes also food inexchange for free labor. This way we could save money.
We really are at the end of our rope. And our relationship is really strained. Just bad luck after bad luck.
Goverment wont help us and family doesnt want to have anything to do with us. So please help us. Give us anything. Any suggestions is fine.
PS. We are in Europe right now.

See if your local church can be of any help.

So sorry you’re having a tough time. I really dont know any resources except hostels. Hopefully another jelly does.

Please just remind yourself this is temporary and life is a gift!

I have a minimal knowledge of workaway. It sounds like a very good deal for someone in your circumstances.
You might be required to work and live separately if you use that for long term. Who knows?Perhaps you will find a situation which could become long term or permanent.
If I had known of such opportunities when I were more fit, I would have been eager to give it a shot. I think it would add a great sense of purpose to travel.

At this point, it might be your best choice.
I hope you find something helpful soon.

Just looking at the web site, it sounds like a good plan for you. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. Good luck to you both.

I don’t know how it works in Europe. I’ve known several homeless couples in the US who have had luck helping elderly widows who needed work done on their farm. One couple started out doing the chores the widow couldn’t do for herself. As her way of saying thank you, she let them stay in her home & then she gave them a small plot of her land where they could set up their own garden. They ate what they grew & sold the rest at a local farmers market. None of her children were willing to help her because they had their own lives. So, she put the couple helping her in her will leaving the entire farm to them. Farming is hard work & not something I’d recommend unless you’re really willing to do back breaking work in exchange for no longer being homeless!!!
