I'm stuck between such a rock and a hard place financially. (hexbear.net)

I don't have a driver's license, credit card, bank account or actual phone number so I can't use services like paypal or a bank account. So in turn I can't get donations from people. Someone donated me $50 which is now stuck in limbo because paypal won't work on door dash without a credit card or bank account. I tried asking my dad for his c.c. or bank account and that I would forward him the money but he blew up on me calling me a piece of shit and threatening to kick me out of the house, again.

So I'm back at square zero, again. Literally cannot do anything because of capitalism and it's fucking ponzi scheme of checks to kill the poor.

But god forbid Elon doesn't get his million dollars a day from the government and they sweat me over $50.

If you have access to a free virtual phone service like Google Voice, some but not all of these systems will allow you to use that number in registration. At the very least, it would allow you to call 211 and the United Way can help connect you with local resources.

You can probably get by fine with a one of these virtual phone numbers for a bit, as long as you're usually in a place with WiFi, so the first priority should be on getting a valid ID. Many states will now allow you to renew or replace an expired or lost ID card online or by mail, you should double-check if either option could be viable for you.
