[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 700585, member: 1233"] Lil, if your instincts say to help, then help. If they say it is the wrong thing to do, then listen to those instincts and let him figure it out. It probably would not hurt to google shelters in his area and send the list to him. Tell him you know he will figure it out, but as his phone was dying, he might find the list helpful. It will likely help him to grow up if he is left to figure this out mostly on his own. The difficulties involved in moving without proper resources are not easy to handle, but he made this choice and chose this path. Have faith that when he is uncomfortable enough, he will figure out a way to afford the comforts he wants. But he must be left to feel the pain and uncomfortable feelings on his own so that he can learn to figure out the solution to overcome his difficulties. My brother used to take off on summer breaks with very little money. He would load the dog and some tools in the car and take off to some strange job in another state. The first time he went to plant trees in some area that loggers had cut most of the trees down. Then after he got out of the army and finished his degree he drove to Idaho and eventually got jobs with the forest service and on the off season he worked with a wilderness outfitter. He was quite uncomfortable at times, but he grew up. [/QUOTE]
