life help: My brother is homeless in Michigan. - Help.com

My brother is homeless in Michigan.

My family hasn’t spoken to me and my brother in a long time due to a nasty divorce by my parents. I told him he could come live with me and start his life over here in arizona where i am at. I looked into plane tickets and way to much. Greyhound has a ticket from Detroit to Glendale az for 102 dollars and if i buy it online i have to pay a gift ticket fee which is 18 so the ticket comes out to 120. I am barely getting by with my job and paying rent electricity and all that. Does anyone have a heart and can help me out. ive tried selling a few things on ebay and nothing i am very scared for him can someone please help.

Can he stay at a homeless shelter until you have money to bring him home?

he has been in and out of the homeless shelter they only have some many free beds a night and sometimes he doesn’t get to stay there because of that. I know hes been eating at the soup kitchen so i guess that helps. I am at a loss on what to do. I have been homeless before myself but at least i had a car back than i was 18 and on the streets so i know what is going through his head.

Our society doesn’t treat homeless people well. They remind us that we are only two or three weeks away from where they are. Tell you what you do: tell your brother to find an Episcopal church and meet with the rector, and ask if he can help from his or her discretionary fund for a bus ticket. They will usually help!

Hey, I am a student in Mt. Pleasant and I am wanting to do a story on the struggles of homelessness- would your brother or anyone he knows be willing to do a photo story? If so I could try and gather up the rest of the money you need- I myself don’t have more than 14 dollars right now- but I’ll see what I can do-
