where are you located? there are comedores economicos in DR, sort of soup kitchen equivalent, i guess.

in puerto plata there is one in UASD branch, leaving the city, on the other side of the road from zona franca. they serve breakfast and lunch, 15 pesos per plate of something like that.

If he's legit and somebody wants to meet him (on malecon?) I'll cover the meal and few extra bucks (paypal/venmo). If legit.

Good idea, first post from the OP begging for food because he has not eaten in four days but has the strength to type on his laptop?

pawn the laptop, eat and when your money arrives get the laptop out of the pawnshop

Make a circular motion on your Stomach, there has to be at least one Dominican who will spare some food .
I dont think this is Legit ..
A Hungry person will find food, one way or the other ..you dont walk around starving for 4 days , and do nothing but then type on a keyboard ..


now a Ticket back home, that is a different Matter .
