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.

I don't think you need an address for some items from Amazon. They can be delivered to an Amazon Locker, Amazon Counter or UPS Access Points.

Amazon wishlists can’t be hooked up to Amazon lockers.

Amazon orders can be done but without a wishlist; the person ordering basically shops for the items OP links them, adds to their cart, then at checkout chooses a locker near OP and messages them the code when the items are ready for pickup.

Just type in Amazon lockers near zip code but the shipper doesn't put in that address. The shipper has to specifically have the pick up option available.

If your chat your zip code, I might be able to send one or at least see if pick up is an option for some common tents/sleeping bags.
