A bulletin board for Rhode Islanders doing it hard. Pin up what you know. Read what others left. No login, no judgment, no inspirational quotes about sunsets.
A warm shower you found. A pantry that's actually open. A win. A warning. A drawing. Something true. Adults only in the sense that we won't sugar-coat it for you.
Tip, warning, art, or a small good thing. We read every one.
The state built good help and then hid it in eleven phone trees. Here, the people using it just tell each other the truth. Read it on the wall instead of finding out the hard way.
No bank account yet. Goes through a personal GoFundMe. One guy, one laptop.

Whatever was broken got fixed. Go before 10am, the towels run out. Front desk won't hassle you about a membership if you say you're just there for the shower.

Drew this on a napkin at the library. An anchor keeps you steady. An anchor also drags you down. Depends which end you're holding. That's the whole thing, isn't it.
Took four months and three offices. OpenDoors did the part nobody else would. If you're stuck on documents, that's the door. Don't wait as long as I did.
I didn't believe the app either. It's real. Restaurant Meals Program. First hot lunch in a week. Felt like getting away with something. You're not — it's yours.
Church basement on Pine. They put the coats on a rack outside so nobody has to ask anybody for anything. Take what fits. Leave what you don't need for the next person.
