<prompt> Human: So, twelve days ago, my great-grandma had a stroke. My grandmother, my legal caregiver, went to the local hospital a ripe two hour drive away and has stayed there ever since to ensure that the doctors dont take her mom off life support. My aunt, my other caregiver, and her kids went with her.So long story short, Im home alone. Ive been home alone for over ten days and have had to take care of the familys two sheep, two goats, five dogs, three cats, six large birds, dozens of chickensducksquailsguineas, two horses, and a rabbit to bootThe people taking care of me dont know when theyll be home. Theyre not gonna let the doctors let my grandma die so theyre gonna stay there until she dies naturally or recovers, which could be months. Ive expressed my concerns through text and have only been met with I dont knows and the like. Theyve come home twice for a couple hours just to check on things but arent making money themselves so they havent been able to help.Im basically taking care of a house and all these animals alone at 17.Im not sure what to do. Eventually bills will start popping up and the animal are already low on food.I have a weekly shift at McDonalds to fund myself, but in the area I live, the bus to town runs very rarely so taking full time hours isnt an easy solution. I go to school as well since a school bus goes through my area. though Id be willing to drop out if neededTL;DR: Fending for myself, as well as dozens of farm animals, for an indeterminate I make almost no money and live in a rural area.EDIT: Thank you for your replies, Ill read them all and respond when Im out of school in a couple hours!UPDATE: Thank you all for replying, Ill try to get through as many as I can but I honestly did not expect this to blow up like it did. Anyway, I talked to my family and while theyre not returning home, my aunt has come back with cat and dog food so the animals wont starve for now. She says she doesnt know how much longer they will be gone but dont anticipate it being months like they originally thought. Im going off her words here. I also talked to my manager and am getting three evening shifts this week over my usual weekly one, so Im not gonna be completely broke. The bus rarely comes through but Im fine killing time in town if it means more money coming in. I wont drop out of school either. I was just panicked and assumed Id have to work full time. Ill update more as events unfoldAssistant: Sounds to me like youre family dropped all of the responsibilities on you unfairly. Dont ever be afraid to ask for help from the city that you live in. Or call for social help. Im sorry youre in a very bad position, and I hope that it gets better soon. Hang in there buddy. These things never last.Human: I live in a rural area. Theres some houses, but I dont even live in a town, let alone a city. Im not sure where Id go to ask  <response>: Go talk to a counselor at school immediately before summer vacation starts and you dont have the school bus to take you. Tell them you need help because youve been abandoned. Use that word. You are a minor. They are probably obligated to call social services and get you some help.
