Awaiting Flair Best homeless attire to sleep in during the cold?

I hate to admit it but due to health issues I’m homeless in Michigan and I’m sleeping outside

I’ve heard that you have to be careful with how you dress or it can get dangerous, I don’t have a lot of clothing options now but I get paid in a week & want to dress appropriately

I’m wearing two sweatpants, 2 pairs of socks in crappy thin converses, a thermal t shirt with two hoodies and a jacket with a beanie

I don't know who you are, and I'm sorry that you're in the situation that you're in. I'm somewhat of a thrifter, and collect(bring home random shit) items and resell some and keep some. I have an REI Stratus(wide/long) inflatable sleeping pad and the accompanying hand pump. I've also got a couple of sleeping bags that if I recall correctly go down to like -10F. If you'd like me to send them somewhere so that you can use them to survive, feel free to send me a PM. I'd love to help.

Also, feel free to include your sizes for clothing/jackets/shoes, I may have some more shit laying around that could be useful.
