I've had people offer financial aid directly, and I've turned them down. Not because of pride, because I've been offered charity before and accepted it. We have a pretty good support structure here through local and state agencies. I have a place to sleep (even if it is with 200 other guys in a huge dorm) and there are several sources for free meals. I'm working at a day-labor job, so I work a day and get paid the same day. It's just a matter of time before I have a good job again, and a little more until things are better than they were.

Even if I had a good job right now I probably wouldn't be able to travel all the way to Farnborough.
