I want to create a support network of other former foster youth who are working yet may be struggling to thrive in this big city. I moved here in 2023 after the contract I was on ended. I was homeless for almost three months. I find it hard to ask for help because people assume that everything is fine and that I am ok. After all, I shower and dress presentable to work, and have transportation. It's so hard to find a community and support.

Anyone know of headhunters in publishing or entertainment, or good ones in our world who are savvy in such things?

Can anyone please refer me in LTI.

I have 2.8 yrs exp. Skillet - Azure Cloud, Devops. Open to any new latest technology as well.

I am serving notice period.

Thanks for your help
