I would for sure avoid the city proper. Maybe over at the big Walmart on route 80?

Or what about the big high way gas stations?

I loved out of my car for 9 months in new haven back in 2009. OP’s harassed me relentlessly. I was young and dumb and never thought to leave the downtown areas. If I were to be forced into that life again I would try Walmarts and highway rest stops i think…

True the route 80 Walmart has a rest area!! Thanks so much for the advice I’m in that same boat, tired of taps on the window telling me to leave. Luckily this is only temporary I’ll change it up and avoid the city.

I hope this all improves quickly.

If you need a warm clothing or boots let me know. I know how hard these winters are. From previously mentioned experience.

I’m not willing to give cash for myriad reasons, but if you need clothing or something I can buy and drop off for you, do let me know.

If you’re ever in the area and you have hot hands I’d be your biggest fan. It’s just good to know someone’s been through this mess and come out alright!

I will pick some up Tomrrow morning at that route 80 Walmart. I pass by on my way to work around 8am, so look for a DM from me around 8:20am.

To be blunt I’d rather you didn’t see my car or anything. I’ll walk over to where you are parked.

I’m not trying to sound like a prick. When I was homeless I was not a good person.

What’s wrong with him seeing your car? Like what could he possibly do with knowing what you drive. You drive by people all the time.

This person is seemingly going out of their way to help someone unprompted. We should have empathy and respect for whatever boundaries they wish to draw

How do you afford a phone?

Imagine being homeless, looking for work, and NOT having a phone. I'll give you some time to work out why a phone would be an absolute top priority for someone in that position.
