I have been living in my car for over 2 years. In those 2 years I have lost my best friend, my cat Frankie. I have had her since she was a kitten. But I guess she didn't enjoy our current situation and she ran away. I haven't slept in real bed, taken a decent shower or had a home cooked meal. I do have a job but as a courier most of my pay goes in the gas tank or towards repairs. I have health issues, type 2 diabetes, stage 3 kidney disease, 3 skin cancer operations and most recently a possible blockage in my heart. On top of all that I've been hit from behind 3 times the last one was the worst. I was stopped at a red light when I was struck from behind. The driver that hit me never hit his brakes. I have a lawyer but the case is going to take a while. I injured my back and have asked for a brain scan because I was knocked out in the wreak and was not treated for a concussion in the emergency room. All I'm looking for is enough money to get a decent hotel room for a week and take a shower, sleep in a real bed, watch TV just like a normal person. Because lately I don't feel normal. I use to have a studio apartment. Was cheap $400 amonth all utilities paid. Came home one day and found a notice on my door. Everyone was told to be out within a month the new owners were going to renovate the property. When I asked how much to move back $1400-$1600. Been in my car ever since. Rent in Tampa is outrageous a studio goes for $1200-$1700 then there is the electric bill. There are times where I can't afford gas and have to sit in my car in the parking lot where I work. I go 2-3 days with nothing to eat but I fill empty water bottles so I don't get dehydrated and end up in VA hospital. Please I don't ask for much in life. I try and good things for people, like we deliver medical care equipment to people. I put together 2 and 4 wheeled walkers, portable commodes, and other medical devices. If their not at home I build them and leave them at their door. Otherwise i ask and do as requested. Thank you reading. I hope to hear from someone soon. 🙏 Update …was just released from the VA. They found I have one artery in my is 100% blocked but is being help from the central artery the third one is 70% blocked. I'm on medication to see if that helps if not I'll have to have surgery and miss time at work. Being a 1099 driver if I' not working I' not getting paid. I could end up losing my car/house because I' homeless. I'd hav nothing. Thanks for reading …no one has yet.
