About to lose everything.

In Russia???

get a dog

You're not alone op, I lost everything a long time ago. I wasn't homeless though. I still have very little, and I don't want more. I work and got a roof over my head and am able to feed myself, that's all you need.

I do have some pretty badass survival gear though. Do you have any gear op? Are you ready to rough it?

This life is only interim. Get right with God. Pray in Jesus' name. We are only part of a march bigger plan, Repent and believe and thou shalt be saved. Fear not death, it is only a door.

Religious manipulation.
The only card the Christians can play.

It is a cold world out there op. Even if you are a good person.

Be calm. Be strong. Something good will come your way.

You may not want to hear it, but it'll get better, brother. I had to start over years ago, and I thought I would never survive it, but I did. That time in my life proved to me what I was really made of, and believe it or not, I'm grateful for the experience now.

Good luck to you, bro.

it's much easier in a warm climate

Something good from God?

I don't believe in "God".

In some ways it is purely semantics that my definition differs, but I don't do religion or god with a capital G.

The idea that someone should repent in the name of anyone is dumb IMO.

Just be love.

We are all one.

What is your situation? Are you young/old, male/female, do you have a family to care for, are you in the country or the city? Are you actually in Russia or is that just your IP address?

Assess your options. If you have friends or family you could go to until you can get work, that would be easiest. Try for a waiter/waitress job in the interim, as they aren't too picky about your past experience, they usually start you working immediately, you will get at least the tip money right away, and you will be able to eat every day. And you may meet someone who could help you as you deal with a lot of different people each day.

Another option is to go to the local churches and ask for assistance in finding a job of some kind. They may have pity and find you a place to sleep.

If you are truly going to be homeless and out on the streets, a good sleeping bag will be one of your most important assets. Get a decent looking day pack to keep your stuff in, don't go all shopping cart on us! Try to portray a sporting casual image like you are on your way to your college class. This is for your protection.

Depending where you are, you may find that other homeless are your enemies as they have an established pecking order and will see you as new competition.

Take care that you do not neglect your grooming. It will keep your spirits up and make you feel like you are still a part of the human race.

If you are in or near a rural area you might want to see if there is work as a farm hand or ranch hand. They generally provide at least a bunk house accommodation, and you will be safe and warm and fed. Go to the local feed supply store and ask around, all the farmers go in there pretty regularly and everybody knows everybody else's business in farm country.

In the US, there are many older farmers whose children migrated to the city for work, and they have no one to help them with the daily chores as they age. You never know, I have heard of elderly people leaving their farm to a trusted farmhand in their will, if they have no children.

Try to find something every day to be grateful for, and appreciate. Use the time to think about what is really important in life. Work slowly and methodically toward your goal and never give up.
