I just recently had to leave my home in the US to get away from certain mentally and emotionally damaging issues. I got a ticket to Paris with the intent of staying with a friend from college. I landed 3 days ago and I have not been able to contact my "friend" and it really looks like he won't be getting back to me. I'm down to about my last couple hundred dollars, which is not much once converted to Euros and I am extremely scared. I am only 20 years old, and being homeless in a foreign country is something that I don't think I will be able to handle. I've spent the last couple days in cheap hotels contacting everyone I know who might be able to help me out, but all of my friends are college age. They don't have much to be able to lend me. When I was in the US I was an aspiring photographer and filmmaker, but I had to sell my camera in order to buy my plane ticket. In all honesty it's always been my dream to come to Europe, but this isn't anything like I expected it would be. I have a lot of dreams and goals for my life, but every minute they seem farther and farther away because I have no idea how I'm going to get through this situation. If anybody can help me out, I have a bank account in the US that could be used to accept a donation/loan, as I fully intend to repay anybody who would be willing to help me out in this time of need. Thank you for taking the time to read this, you have my eternal gratitude.
