first time being homeless

I am not sure where to go first I have not taken much just what I could fit into two backpacks One of them gets heavy I sit down on a park bench and sort them out throwing away ten things I thought I needed because this is day three and I am tired of carrying two backpacks I have not asked anyone for help because I do not know how to do that and it would feel awful so far I have just raided dumpsters at night after regular people are asleep I become active searching for half eaten sandwiches hoping the bugs have not gotten in them yet
