Over the last 4 or 5 years I’ve become I guess friends with  or at least friendly with a local provider. Perhaps you’ve found yourself in a similar situation in the past or even right now.  

I want to help a friend get back on her feet!

With inflation and income going down she basically homeless with her dog. They’ve been staying in her storage unit since she lost her rental.  

I’ve been helping as much as I can with money , food , blankets , essentials etc but it’s not enough.  

Providers/Hobbyists - Are any of you aware of local shelters, non profits, food banks , charity organizations etc that are friendly and supportive of a person in her situation? Or ideas on raising money?  

I deeply appreciate any ideas or suggestions that can help my friend and her dog.  

Blessings to you all!

Thank you.

… are VEAP, Sharing and Caring Hands, and House of Charity.  They all greatly appreciate donations and volunteers.

Maybe you and her other regulars could donate to pay for some new ads and photos to go with it.  If that’s not going to help maybe she should look for another job.  There is no shortage of jobs at all levels available right now.

To be honest. She should grind/hustle, it's all apart of the "game." Book a few clients, sell plasma, sell pot.

Why is she unemployable.  I see help wanted signs all over the place.

Mental illness?
.
Felony record?

When a person lives in a storage unit it’s hard to get ready for work every morning.  I mean I never tried it but it seems like it would be really hard to pull off. Or having a car to get to work.  But that’s the goal Lester! She just needs a helping hand to get there.  And why I’m reaching out to the community is to generate ideas and leads to places that can help. I’m doing what I can but it’s not enough and every day that passes it becomes more difficult for her and I can’t stand by and not try and do more. Ya know… can’t

I'll always feel for anyone who's going through a rough patch in life but, if she was a halfway decent provider why would she be homeless. Unless she's a drug user most providers are making straight bank and she should be making more than enough money escorting to take care of things.  Even if she was temporary staying at an extended stay hotel calm and shotel, she was getting at least 2 clients A-day and was decent it should be enough to pay pay rent for this.

… we don’t know what road they’ve trod.  

I’ve known providers who’ve had serious medical problems that put them in dire straits personally and financially. I know providers whose business was hit hard by the pandemic and it was really hard to dig out of it. Drug use can be an issue, but may not be a factor at all.  We really don’t know this provider’s history.

All the OP was was a request for ideas on how this woman could get some help while she’s down. If you don’t have any ideas, that’s fine. But why jump to conclusions?

There are many businesses in my area that are providing very cheap or even FREE housing for full time employees.  If someone is truly interested in work, pm me.  The pet thing could be an issue however.  Side note, one thing I've noticed when I see people seeking help or outright asking for money on facebook;  almost every time their wall is loaded with pet pics!  Pets are expensive and so are smartphones but yet so many people have prioritized both over food/shelter....and btw, save me the lecture on comfort animals.  Service animals yes, comfort pets...fuck off.  If you don't continue to perpetually make piss poor choices, the support systems currently in place combined with the ability to find a job ANYWHERE gives virtually anyone the chance to be at least a little self-sufficient.  Bring on the whataboutisms now  3...2...1....

In my defense a lot of other posts said something about it not being hard for her to find a job. Yes everyone has different circumstances but if it's a medical issue or mental health issue then hopefully she gets all the support she needs. The reason I stated it was probably drugs is a is a decent provider who's charging 3- 400 bucks an hour, if she gets 2 dates a day, she's banking easily $3000 a week. If you're making that kind of money, you should be able to pay all your bills . The only way you wouldn't be is, for the most part, if you're a drug addict.
 Again I'm not saying I'm right I'm just saying that's hithat's a highly likely scenario. Plus, and I know I might get criticized for this, but if you're dealing with homelessness ,you really shouldn't be worrying about a dog unless it's a service dog.

In my (expensive) experience, they can be a bottomless pit of financial need.  Just be forewarned.

Lack of friends or extended family is also a tell. They may really be alone in the world but pretty often they've alienated everyone with their drama and/or mooching. I've seen that to often in the sugar babe world.

I have so much to donate and offer as far is materials ,  
SO MUCH clothing, from hosting clothing swaps.  

I have food I can't eat anymore due to new diet , women supplies. I space for her to work if she needs it.  
Either you or her can email me to collect  

There are women shelters , calling 411 may be a great start. VEAP is a great options and every now and then other dinner shelters. I remember attending one in Bloomington not sure if they're still running out of the community center there next to Penn Ave

… the organizations that help the homeless ask: “Don’t you have friends or extended family you can mooch off of?!”

Are you saying that if a homeless person has a drug or alcohol addiction (which are “medical conditions”, btw) or mental illness, they aren’t worthy of getting help?

Also, no one knows WHY this person is homeless. There’s just a lot of assumptions about this “cum dumpster” (a term you’ll recognize) being able to make at least $300/hour or about $3000/week, thus they should not be homeless nor in need of help. What if they can’t work right now for some reason?

Also you assumed this woman is dishonest, ie doesn’t pay taxes. You have no basis for that, other than your obvious disdain for “hos” and “cum dumpsters”.

Well 1st of all I never call anybody a cum dumpter so please don't disparage me by saying that I said that.  
 I also never ever said anyone's who is homeless is not capable or worth of getting help. I know people who have been homeless and there's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to help people that are struggling. I only ask how how a pro who potentially is manking bank (if she is decent) could be im the position of being homeless and that the most obvious answer is that she's probably a drug addict.  
And when you say being a drug addict and/or alcoholic is a medical condition well that technically might be true but  people who do drugs chose to do that for the most part.

The craziness that was DaniDD and her constant ask for handouts?

I'll chime in here.  
Firstly, it's very easy for most of us providers to become homeless by just a few missteps. We work for cash, usually can't prove out income so we're at our landlords mercy or we're paying double. If we have a lease we're lucky but usually we don't or it's lacking and the landlord can take full advantage of us. If we don't like it, we can leave.  
The good old days of pulling in 3-4 sessions per day is long gone for most and most of us barely get that a week now. The pandemic killed us too. Yes, some gals are still kicking ass but not all of us. So our bills and budgets are still up there but we're just not bringing it in. I know I've had to drastically downsize everything and re-do my budget and quit shopping so much (which kills me) to adjust to this post COVID economy.

Now to answer the OP's question.  I can't put the name of the shelter on the board for security reasons but I would love to help this gal out. I worked at a shelter last fall. Will you DM me so we can exchange numbers?

More than twice as many men are homeless than women. But a homeless man is just a bum, so no one cares.

I replied to rocketman’s post (the “you” in “you and kinkyman”).  And if you’ve been reading threads here, you know “cum dumpster” is one of rocketman’s favorite terms for sex workers.  

So in your mind, every homeless provider is “probably a drug addict”.  The assumptions continue.  

And it’s clear you know nothing about drug addiction.

I remember DaniDD. She suckered me in with her crazy deals and sob stories once. She gave me the runaround to get to her apt, was proud her p411# was only 3 digits, considered herself a 10 even though she was more like a 4. One of the more entertaining dates I have ever had.

  I know or seen quite a few providers living in hotels or long term stays and I know they don't make that much. My guess hotels/motels are out because of the dog so thats a poor decision on her end.

  I remember my dad always telling me that if you see a "homeless beggar" on the side of the road ask if they have a cell phone. If they do than they aren't really that poor. That phone is worth more amount of money they have earned that day.

I do pay taxes and did form a business. But I still take in cash. Just because I formed a business doesn't change the way you fellas pay me. And I don't get a session every day. Right now it's more like 3 a week max. I've gone 2 weeks without a session. Because all you fellas want are the traveling hot 22 year old $800 an hour girls.  You do you.  

But don't come on here talking about how horrible the local talent is and how y'all are just going to stick to the traveling girls for quality reasons then say that us local gals are making all this money. When you see a traveling gal you take the money out of our state.  

And I wasn't doing the "poor me". Asshat I could feel the venom in your words. You don't like women much do you?

It's also gross to promote the whole useless "boot straps" mentality when that's what got people like this provider and many others around here struggling in the first place. You suck at humanity and compassion.

It might sound callous to some people but I know enough about drug addiction not to be dumb enough to ever do them. I think there's enough public knowledge and awareness to know that drug addiction is the worst thing there is and the only way to become addicted to drugs is to try them.

… you know nothing about drug addiction.  You seem to think that everyone addicted to drugs decided one day to try some, just for grins.  Ever heard of opiate pain meds?  Ever hear of OxyContin?  Did you know hereditary and genetic factors make up about 50-75% of the causes of substance abuse and addiction?

It doesn’t sound callous. It IS callous.

Some great links for shelters and other resources have already been provided.  Has this person looked into any of these?

Usually there is a backstory that needs to be told in order to provide some helpful guidance.  So.....please fill us in.   Other wise we will just have meandering bickering.

You asked for resources you could send your friend to.  You got that as well as some offers from providers.  Give your friend all that information and get her pointed towards using those resources.  At that point, consider bowing out or at least reducing your involvement in the situation.
Why?  Because you run the risk of becoming emotionally compromised.  It's easy to want to help someone whom you are attracted to and like being around.  Sexual attraction can lead to making mistakes that mess up your life.  Someone once called it "damsel in distress" syndrome.  Taking a step back let's the people who are better situated to actually help her be the ones doing so, so long as she is actually willing to do so.
Beyond that, the rest of us don't know the specifics of her situation and there is a good chance you don't know as much as you think you do.  It's good of you to want to help.  Just remember to keep an eye on your own well-being as well.

Yeah we understand the opioid crisis because of pain meds but let me explain something. I had major surgery about 8-9 years ago and put on pain meds.  The 1st time I took them I felt completely out of it and knew these were not for me. So I called up my doctor and asked for nonopiate pain meds.  I was smart enough right then to know that they weren't the right match for me and it could potentially be a problem.
 So with tgat said, I do have a little bit of sympathy for people who get addicted to drugs because of taking opiates but let's keep a real man. A majority of people who get addicted to meth, crack, Coke, heroin, starting using these as a party drug or to mask some "pain" they were supposedly going through.
 Everybody knows how addicted these drugs are and if you take them off your own volition then you suffer the consequences.
Also have family members that were meth and crackheads.  I've seen mothers who chose to put drugs in their blood system instead of being a mother to their children. I've seen people who's lose all self worth just for the ability to be able to get that next hit. Yeah, I know a little bit about addiction but I still for the most part had no sympathy for someone who  chose to put something in the thier arm, up their nose, inhaled in thier lungs, or just injected into their veins.

… IMO you and others here are judging someone without knowing hardly anything about her.  But then there’s a lot of that on this board, which I think is a big reason so few people, especially providers, post here anymore.

I will say good bye to you with a question for you to ponder—I don’t expect a reply: how could someone who has family members who suffer from drug addiction know so little about it?

I'm not judging anyone my man. I'm giving my subjective opinion why this lady might be homeless. Everybody who has any common sense knows that if you take any hardcore drugs, more than likely you're going to come addicted. It's very simple, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Again it might sound unsympathetic but that's the way it is. If you are addicted to drugs and you recovered and got clean, I'll give you your flowers.   What's that being said, it's your own self that got yourself that predicament in the 1st place, no one forces anyone to take drugs my man.  
 I have a family member that picked drugs over her own kids and for that I'll never forgive her so again my apologies if I sound callous and somewhat unsympathetic but you know it is what it is.

Like SW is a business right? Then treat it as a business, change the business plan, make some specials. And if it doesn't work out, shutter the business and move on. There's statistics that say a new restaurant will fail within one year from 30% to up to 60%. Up to 80% don't make it to year five. Businesses just fail.

Good afternoon :)

Hope you’re well!
I wanted to see if your offer is still open to help a fellow provider in need?
If it is, what’s the best way for her to connect with you if she decides to contact you?
I’ve suggested a shelter or something like that but she’s resistant at this point. I can understand.  
Anything you feel comfortable offering would be so helpful I think.  

Blessings to you….
