Ask HN: Can anyone help me here?

19 points by fadelakin ↗ HN
I got accepted to the MakeGamesWithUs summer internship in San Fran but I don't have a place to stay and I don't know anyone out there. I'm from the midwest. Being 17 kind of makes my situation a little tougher. I really want to go to the internship but finding a place to stay is my problem. I plan to be there for 4-6 weeks which makes my problem even bigger because I don't know if anyone will allow me to stay with them for that long.

If anyone can help me, please let me know. I'm sort of desperate. I need to know by June 5th.

You might get more hits if you update the title to indicate room needed in SF. "Help me" is extremely generic.

The actual dates you'll be staying might also be helpful.

My internship is from June 17th to July 22nd at MakeGamesWithUs in San Francisco. It's located in SOMA. I'm 17, from the midwest, African American. Not sure what else to say.

Are you looking for free housing or what's your budget?
fadelakin
I don't have to big of a budget. I don't have a lot of money so it either free house or something around $850 which I know will be impossible to find.

I live in the East Bay, I pay rent like that. If you consider adding a 30 minute public transportation commute to your life for 6 weeks, the rest will be really easy.
