<prompt> Human: Original post: After I posted this, I called my local social assistance number and explained the situation. I asked about any emergency help, and I JUST made it in as they only accept about 10 people at a time depending on circumstances.I just started a full time day program with Alberta Works last week. Once approved, you show up everyday to their workshops to work on resumes, tips, goals, one on ones, and general job searches. On occasion, they have employers come in offering work.As long as you show up every morning at 8:30 and stay in constant contact with your worker, they will fund you once a month for rent and absolute essentials. I was just able to pay my rent and some overdue bills, which was a huge relief. It was a few days late, but my landlord was very understanding. I also was able to get some food from the food bank.As per my luck, my wallet was stolen 3 days ago while playing pool with friends over the weekend. It had my ID, my bank card, my bus pass, my health card, and my last 40and a cool official Zombie Response Team card I got for my birthday last year :C This morning, I explained what had happened and I didnt know if I could make it the next day as I once again had no money and had used the last of my change to get there. They were very understanding and provided me with a bus ticket home. They said I can call in the morning to verify whether I will be there or not and it will not be a problem.So things have still been a little less than savory, but I am not anywhere near being homeless anymore, which I am very grateful for. Im lucky to live in an area that offers these programs and am glad I have found it. After my program today, I walked to the bank with my gym card, some mail with my address and my birth certificate to replace my bank card. So thats a start.There have been some bumps in the road, but it could be much worse and am happy and still have my little place to live :  <response>: Glad to hear things are looking up! Keep up that positive attitude and I dont think youll have any trouble making it through these tough times.
