<div>hola. I’m a homeless person trying to raise enough money for a used car.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> from 2020-23 I was traveling across the country, mostly living in my car. I was in St Louis for a year, then Denver, then Vegas. Mostly I just worked all the time because it was expensive. I did DoorDash and Uber.

</div>

</div>

<div> My car broke down in Vegas. I thought it was just the battery and spent all the money I had on a new one but that wasn’t it. It was very frustrating because I had paid cash for this car just a year before I went on the road. It was a 2009 Corolla. It was the fourth Toyota I’ve owned and all the others lasted way longer. Oh well, right?

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anyway, ever since then I’ve been living on the street in San Diego. For the past year I’ve been trying to get a job but literally nobody hires homeless people, even though I’m extremely well qualified for all kinds of jobs. I’ve had interviews and even McDonald’s won’t hire me. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>previously in my life I’ve never had a problem getting a job. I’ve never had an interview and not been offered the job but understandably no one wants to take a risk on someone who doesn’t know where they’re sleeping.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>if I could just get a car again I could go back to work with DoorDash and Uber and have a place to sleep.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Thank you

</div>
