Ha,
Buy your own bed, or other essential, then just ask people -- say you are new to town and need a kitchen table and sofa, etc. Ask at church, at work, while helping a friend on a weekend, etc.
You could even post an ad in CL "Wanted - free, kitchen table and sofa for newcomer to town".
You may only get half of what you need, but you can live on half until other items appear in your life.
