Where are you, a big city or a small town? In the US or elsewhere?

It may be hit or miss, but depending on where you are, there may be people willing to help without expecting monetary compensation. Charities, e.g. by religious groups, or mutual aid groups (the latter especially in big cities).

I wish you all the best, no person deserves to be abandoned like that.

We’re talking about engineers here! We’re using MATLAB or Python if we’re programming at all.
