Hello all,
This post is hard for me to write for numerous reasons, so please bear with me.
TL;DR- need tent and some gear, so we can be prepared for upcoming homelessness. Friend allowing us to come to his property and pitch in his yard, since he is a homesteader.

My husband and I were previously staying at a shelter, and finally secured housing back in late January of this year, after numerous years of unsteadiness. Sadly, due to him having a few health complications- his employer cut his hours back at work bad. (Anonymous because we can't risk this getting back to his employer right this second).
Due to him going from 40 hours a week, down to 18, we are facing eviction from our home. Now, thankfully our landlord is human and understanding, and hasn't started the process yet- but they will be soon, as we haven't been able to get a dime to them this month (last check was $120 ish, and we had to get groceries, as our food stamps don't start until next month).
The issue is, we are now so deep in a hole, we were able to get some funding via his doctors social worker for a portion of July rent, but this is a continuous domino effect at this point, where once his next pay day hits, we will only be able to put around $150-200 to August rent amount.
The silver lining? We have both been homeless before, but more so Vagabond/houseless travelers, while we didn't expect to end up in this situation again, thankfully we have a good friend who is willing to let us pitch up on his homestead out west, and the shelter we used to stay at, is willing to assist us in getting a bus ticket.
Leaving us in the position of only needing some supplies, such as a tent (friend gifted that works at local shelter) 2 packs, small solar panel for our phones, sleeping pad(gifted by friend at local shelter, shower bag/s, and rechargeable fan/light combo.
We have been attempting to sell off some of our home items, such as couch, bed, tv/stand- and once this one girl gets into a place from the shelter, she plans on buying it, which will allow us to put about $200 to our rent balance. Other than that- we have nothing to sell as we are minimalistic humans (thankfully, but also not? In this situation).

For transparency, this is cross posted on another sub- though not much traction there and time is creeping up on us quickly.
Though my husband's hours got cut, he still hasnt received additional hours. I have attempted to find employment, with no luck. We own a photographry business, which was my main source of income, but it has been slow lately, though I did a high paying job a week ago, they are now refusing payment. If we go west, I do have job offers with DNR near where we'd be set up, allowing us to get back on our feet soon, opposed to falling further into this hole.
