I need some help with getting through October. I have no money, and just learned this morning that I have no further money coming.

Oof. Honestly, I did not get the understanding I was at zero right now, I would have been in an entirely different frame of mind. I don't know what frame of mind that would be, I am on the precipice of panic right now.

I haven't a clue what I can do right now. Anything involving getting a job is going to entail a runup time and I have about 60 euros maybe to get through until then, and it costs me 10% of that to make a trip into the centre of Funchal from here, which is close to one whole day's worth of food.

Even if I manage to find someone needing what I can offer, most likely I will have some big obstacles just getting a tax registration number, and on top of that feed myself until they pay me.

Unless I happen to find someone willing to pay me more frequently, but that just isn't how things are done in europe, it really makes a big gap to bridge when you are coming from nothing.

It's not that I don't know how to beg, I could certainly do that, but I'm not exactly in the tourist centre of Madeira here, it's a good 20km away.

Just to be clear, I don't think I would have accepted this task of scouting out a place to get started for my friend if I'd known that I had no runway after he had got here. That isn't a reasonable deal.

I need help here. Any help will be most appreciated.
