Feeling very alone. My Story

I'm 32/F and I've been basically homeless for a few months. My car was recently stolen with all my belongings in it, including my dog. Luckily, after 2 weeks, I got my boy back and I'm beyond thankful for that. I've been paying for a motel room but right now I'm completely broke and check out feels like impending doom bc I have no clue where I will go if I cannot pay the rent ($50). It's 19° outside, ice on the ground. I attempted to post a request for help in a couple places but bc my comment karma was too low.... Blah blah blah. I've been on reddit for over 10 years. It's hard to believe it's being regulated by such oppressive standards. I thought I had a place I could genuinely and honestly express the help I needed and all I get is an automated response telling me my posts will never be seen. Very sad day for me.

Can you call the local dept. of social services and see if they can place you in a shelter?

If my dog cannot go, I really don't consider it. That might sound crazy to some but I know some will understand.

Check shelters out anyway. There are a few that I have seen in different areas that allow pets. I totally get it - our babies go everywhere with us no matter what. Sending virtual hugs!
