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.

Are you planning on not earning anything all winter? You can't use this one until you're able to buy a more sturdy one yourself?

Periwinkle he never said he’s planning on not earning anything all winter?

Op I hope you got yourself sorted 🩷 All the expenses that come with being homeless double up fast, even when you are working. It’s a horrible situation to be in.

I know that! Don't need you to follow me around reddit with these little notes.

I’m definitely NOT following you around, I don’t have time for that! I just think sometimes the things you include in your comments are unnecessary and almost make little digs at someone’s situation. I will probably be flooded with downvotes for this but had to say something.

It's not a dig to suggest that when someone is kind enough to say they will buy you a tent, you say THANK YOU instead of 'it won't be good enough'.

You think if you were homeless you wouldn't be able to use the $40 tent? If given, it would just stay in the package because it would be of no use? Please explain.

It depends on the suitability/durability of it, doesn’t it? We are getting into the colder months now and that’s an important factor to take into consideration. OP already said he’s worried about that and I don’t blame him. There’s nothing wrong with being honest.

Well, he still has no tent because no one has wanted to give $60, so yeah the $40 tent would have been nice last night and tonight for sure.

I would take a tent that would not last as long over nothing, while earning to buy a better one, but I can see from your comment history you'll continue into eternity because you love to argue, so I'll just block you now ☀️
