My (adult) stepdaughter's (adult) boyfriend had no ID card, no social security card, could not remember his social security number, no birth certificate, no bank account, no debit card, no phone number.
These were seemingly insurmountable problems for him, but readily resolvable by anyone with experience dealing with these various agencies and entities. Three days after learning of his problems, we had obtained a copy of his high school transcripts, which can be used for identification in certain contexts. We had recovered his SSN and ordered a replacement card. We had opened a bank account. We had ordered his birth certificate. When we received his bank account documentation, and the rest of his documents in the mail the following week, we took it all to the DMV and got a state-issued ID card. Two weeks later, he was employed and receiving regular paychecks.
You need a local advocate. If you are over 18, that can be anyone you choose: a friend, neighbor, former teacher, etc. If you don't have someone currently willing to help, the community can guide you toward finding someone.
If you are under 18, it will need to be your parent, a government agency, or a lawyer. There are a lot of "official" options available, and the community can guide you toward them as well. If you are under 18 do not provide any specific details to anyone online. Nothing more personally identifiable than a zip code.
More general advice: don't use DoorDash. NEVER use DoorDash. They are a complete ripoff. $50 on DoorDash will get you about 2 meals.
- A case of HDRs on Amazon is $40, and provides 10 days worth of food.
- A case of A-Pack rations is $48, and provides 12 meals.
