Lost everything I own
For over the past year, I've been living in my van. I built it with the help of some amazing people, making it my home. I didn't own anything in storage, it was all in the van.
This past Christmas Eve, while I was thankfully parked and not inside, someone crashed through the back of the van, ruining it and everything I own. I'm still not sure what's happening with insurance. I might just get enough to pay off my loan.
I have some savings, but it isn't nearly enough to buy a new vehicle and put money down on an apartment and furniture.
I also can't get much on credit. I was hit by a car last year, broke my back, and claimed bankruptcy.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to stay positive and have hope that 2018 will be a better year for all of us.
Please share this with whomever you think might be able to help.
Thank you,
Ricky Wood
