So my friend is desperate, I don't know him IRL. He's just online.

He has a young child and is currently out of work because the young child got sick and he had to stay with them because the babysitter was a cunt and quit on him. His family is not helping him because they are assholes.

My friend is debating some bad ideas, but he lives in a fairly "Small Town" area. He's debating E-Begging but doubts it will help at all.

He is going to not have rent or bill money. The state is being stingy because he's white and was recently employed and not a criminal. The childs mother is overseas and cannot/will not help either.

Any ideas on what my friend should do? Not mentioning ideas because this is my first post and don't want to get labeled as a fed.
