They call it a common gesture of courtesy to inform people that your home would offer itself to those fleeing some kind of devastation (oppressive regimes, abuse, earthquakes, etc.). However, most people don’t end up in that kind of humanitarian role. What’s the closest you have come?
I’m a millennial, I’ve been on the verge of homelessness myself my entire adulthood. In my adult life a full time job at minimum wage has never been enough to rent a studio apartment nearly anywhere in the country. Not once in my life have I have enough to really live on my own, have a choice about where I live, or didn’t have raising rents pushing me to move elsewhere. I doubt I’m the only one who has had such deep lack of stability that the idea of hosting refugees (or anyone else for that matter) has been purely a fucking pipe dream.
That being said, I have dreamed of being able to take care of those I know who are struggling, but I have been denied every opportunity due to struggling myself.
Tbh your situation is probably worse than being homeless. So consider how impossible it is to drop further, and use that as an opportunity to do something exceptional. I’d gladly live in my car or in a tent before I’d work two minimum wage jobs. At least then I could go to a library and read all day, develop a skill, or idk, become a monk, a survivalist, a revolutionary, a nomad, or whatever. Much better than being a slave.
