**Please Help**
Hello Community,
My Name is John and I am 47 Years old.
I have not been on Facebook very long (just about a week now) but I have joined and specifically this group to ask for help.
Let me try and make a long story short…….
I have been living abroad now for a good part of 20 Years. This started as I was was in the Army and had my first posting to Germany in 1990, upon returning from the Gulf war in 1992 I met my wife and had been happy ever since. The last place we lived in was Toronto Canada, where in my Wife was diagnosed with Huntington Disease. It was not a nice few years up until she died last year, we did try every type of treatment including moving to Germany so that she could take part in a therapy in Hamburg.
The result of the years of massive medical bills and living in Germany for 11 Months on the rest of our savings, is that (yes I could spend the last year or so with my Wife) but in the process I have utilized my life savings. I could not receive any benefits in Germany so I made my way back to the UK where I have spent the last 6 Months trying to get back on my feet.
I had rented a small flat which I had a budget of 5 Months to find a job but within the first 2 weeks there was a fire and I lost all of my possessions with the exception of what I had on that day.
Since then I have been Homeless…. I have purchased a Tent and some basic camping gear to make sure that my life on the streets is as comfortable as possible but it was, or is getting colder in the UK and it is seemingly dangerous on the streets.
I have no entitlement to benefits or housing as I have (according to the UK Government) spent too much time outside of the country.
So I came up with a new Plan, if I am going to be homeless for a while then I need to keep Warm so I have made my way to Spain with the hope that I can have a new chapter in life and start over.
If anyone can Help me in any way please contact me…
Priorities for me are:-
Job
Somewhere to live
Learn Spanish (I am fluent in German but that will not help me here….)
I don’t know what to do… I am hoping on the power of the Internet and the there is still Humanity in this world.
Thanks
John
