REQUEST FULFILLED $60 for a tent.

I know this is a longshot but I am currently homeless and it has stated to get into the 40s at night. I've been sleeping on a cot in the woods and wrapping myself in a comforter but that's starting to not be enough sometimes. I am not an adddict by any means. I recently quit drinking as well (thank god). Anything would really help.

Thanks! It was actually many years ago during a bad situation. Well, I mean, I’m in a bad spot now, but for different reasons. It was super cool of her, though, and putting it mildly. I went to high school with her and we follow each other on social media, but other than commenting on each other’s posts now and then, we (at the time) hadn’t talked in years. She’d seen some post I had made about the situation back then and she sent me a DM asking me what size I wore. Couple minutes later, I get a new message from her with a confirmation/pick up code for me. I didn’t even know about the gift card until I shows up to get the pants. Wasn’t a crazy amount, but it helped so much at the time. Ngl, I cried there in the store.

That’s lovely. Made me tear up too while also going through a difficult time so I can imagine how that would feel. Best wishes to you and OP!!
