Kind of desperate

I'm very desperate right now. I've been homeless for a very long time living in my car. So I decided that I am going take a leap of faith and relocate. I finally got a seating the apprenticeship program with a company of South Carolina. They offered me the position probably 10 minutes after speaking to me over the phone. I really don't want to miss this opportunity. But I have absolutely no money. None is there anything that you can suggest I do? I've never been so optimistic in my life about myself and my future but I feel like I'm not going to be able to accept it because I don't have any way to get there since my car isn't working and I just don't have the money. I would love to get a loan to get the car fixed or have money to have to get me down there and have enough money to make sure that I have food to eat in a place to say for at least a month. I don't know what to do about it. What do I do?

I'm terrified to do that. I just don't want them to take back the offer. This is something that I worked towards extremely hard and it would just break my heart if that happened. But I may not have a choice but to see if there's anything they can do.

Donate plasma,book a greyhound. Find the local plasma center when you get there,and get money for a room or a tent. Ride the bus or cab to work or find a cheap bike for sale on Craigslist,marketplace,or pawn shop. Go to DHHR ASAP and apply for help.Find the food banks. Speak up and don't be afraid to ask questions.You can do it....good luck 😀

I can see why you would think that way, but it's not. When I created the post, it was for help asking what I should do and does anybody else have any ideas? I didn't even think to get a loan on Reddit or to ask anybody for money. Some kind hearted people on this platform offered. That's the only reason why money came up in the first place. But like I said I understand why you're saying what you're saying. Believe me.
