HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

General
Sorry to keep bothering everyone with this ongoing issue, but this is a person I care very much about and am trying to do everything I can to help him survive this situation.
My friend Yuri Foxy, an 18 year old bay area furry, is trying to get on his feet having survived the horrible luck of a violent and unsafe family home.
Another good friend RabidRick, a bobcat who lives in the Castro, SF, is putting up Yuri for the month of February while he looks for a job.
Recently, trying to gather his things from his home, he was robbed at gunpoint and had his phone, clothes, and other personal belongings stolen. Luckily he survived without any injuries.
Soooo....
The reason I'm posting again is that I've done as much as I can, and I'm really running out of options for this poor kid. I've already given him a couple hundred dollars in the past few months, (and as many know, I don't really have that to give) but he still doesn't have enough money for bus fair or food, and has been walking everywhere and asking for change to survive.
If anyone can spare 5$ for BART/MUNI fairs, or some extra meals you could pass on, I know he would appreciate it, and I really would too.
I have a paypal, I_Am_Wolfy[at]hotmail.com and any money you send will get passed to him. Food could be picked up at a BART station.
Thanks for your support!

The best thing you can do for someone in need is to engage them in self actuation.
For someone who is unemployed there are several programs that can help.
The first is SNAP, the food benefit for californians. It provides several hundred dollars worth of food money per month for an individual.
In california if you provided financial support for someone for a certain period of time and you end your relationship with them you're required by law to continue support until they are able to provide for themselves. If he were to take the folks who were providing for him to task he could have had the court require those people to continue to provide financial support for a period of time.
The next step is to start looking for employment. For someone who is young and needs money right away, call centers are a great starting point. The pay is decent for a no-experience job and the work isn't hard.
If you live in San Jose and certain other cities there's a company called work2Future who will give you job training, pay for you to get job related certifications, help you build a resume and help you find jobs all for free. They'll even reimburse you for gas or bus fare while you're looking for work: http://www.work2future.biz/
