I have been living in my van since about covid and it has really been a struggle to say the least the fuel pump was not working and all my tools were stolen out of it about 2 years ago so I haven't been able to fix it. So I was parking it in random spots until I was tagged because the tags were expired for a number of years everything I had left in this world was in there all my clothing all my bedding a few pairs of tennis shoes on Tuesday evening about 530 pm I left my van and walked 16 blocks to a friend's and was there for about an hour and a half give or take. When I came back my van was gone with everything I had left in this world. I haven't worked much at all these last few years and as a result of that fact what little money I have nade has been spent on just staying alive. I recently got my driver's license renewed hoping that would open some doors in finding some permanent employment so I might be able to start pulling myself up and out of the situation I have found myself in . It's beyond scary at 58 to be faced we ith the reality that everything I had is really gone i called around every place I could think of but nobody says they towed it . In my 58 years of being alive I have held onto my faith in God and even after this misfortune I hold onto it still. Any help anyone would be willing to contribute would be greatly appreciated and well needed . it's an awful time m e of year if there is even such a thing as a good time of year to lose everything you own including the very roof over your head. The realization that at 58 years old I have to start over from square one. It hurts and it breaks my heart to think someone would do that to another human being who clearly is already down.on their luck. it's sad to say the least
