    I'm not sure if this will work, but by some miracle i'm going to give this a shot because maybe someone might have some 'good samaritanness' in them.

    Remember how we were Jehovah's Witnesses? I remember back in the day I use to be able to travel anywhere I wanted...go to the local Kingdom hall...and a brother would put me up for the night and anyone with me. one time...a brother even went to work...left my friend and I there by ourselves...said 'eat whatever you want...just go ahead and lock up after you leave.' the trust...

    I'm noticing that I can't seem to do that these days anymore as Ex jw's conversing/talking with other exjw's. Almost as if we've lost our 'kindness' ...well...here goes...maybe...

    My apartment/condo is ready on the 1st of this month coming (october).

    I have a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid and this is where I've been sleeping for quite some time because of the 'gotta save money ' bit. I have a job that I go for orientation this week and start this weekend. I've recently moved here. I'm not some homeless man, though I am without a home. I am an Ex-Jw...And i have no where to stay until the 1st. I don't really need much (no food...or water..or anything). I'm ripping off the Sleep Inn Wireless through my laptop which is run on battery power. I really don't even need pillow, or blanket. I just need a cool/warm place (floor?) to be able to stretch out...and sleep, cause the mosquitos are having a free midnight snack when i open the window to my car to get a cool breeze in, and it's really hot with the windows up to keep the mosquitos out. (and i'm very allergic to these mosquitos down here) I'm a totally normal guy. I don't really think people would be responsive, but if anyone is willing to help out a stranger in need of a place to sleep here in Sarasota FL, it would be greatly appreciated. Upon meeting me, you will not only be able to tell within the first few seconds that i'm a descent honest person...but that i am NOT a jw. I doubt this is going to be responsive...but I might as well try ...

    Willowtree, I've PMed you back. In the meantime, check Craigslist on shared rooms. Some of them are cheap. Maybe you can negotiate something down to $100 a week for a couple of weeks. Here is a link.

    Thanks...I tried looking it up, but maybe i'm doing something wrong, i typed in emergency shelter and day shelter... i'm not a drug user or alcohol...i didn't feel right misleading that stuff just so i have a place to stay. Nothing came up for the zipcode i put in.. um... I am also not over 65...so ... i'm in my 20s. Anyway..thanks anyway.

    Thank you for your efforts.

    Willow, so is a $200 bucks till 10/1 out of the question for you? I saw a room going for $110 on Craigslist. I can sympathize with you on Florida weather in September and the mosquitos....good luck. If I find something for you, I will PM you.

    I'm sorry, but I can't think of a soul who I know in Sarasota. I live in Ohio where the auto manufacturng plants went up back in the 1950's and '60's. Men came from all over to work here and were allowed to stay overnight in the empty cells of local jails. I wonder if that's stil the case. Would you feel uncomfortable asking?
