I've decided to set my pride aside. I've learned that asking for help is a strength and honestly I truly need some help. I'm currently homeless living in my truck with my 9 year old, my boyfriend, and our dog. We moved to California last June from Minnesota. We had a plan in place to start a better life for ourselves. Upon our arrival we had a place to stay that quickly fell apart. It's truly been let down after let down. Ever since then we've lived in our truck. At rest stops, in parking lots, You name it. Things I've always taken for granted have been taken away from me. Like a toilet to pee in, a shower to use, an actual BED to sleep in, a fridge to keep food in ect... We eat from gas stations. Don't get me wrong atleast we're eating and I know it could be worse. I was working, and had to leave my job due to complications. My boyfriend has been looking for something steady to keep us atleast afloat as well. As of now he does odd jobs just to keep a couple dollars in our pocket. But nothing has prospered into us having a safe warm place to lay our heads at night. Our California dream has turned into a California night mare. As of now we have help with a place to stay once we get back to Minnesota and jobs for both of us. But we're trapped. I can't continue to watch my son wake up in the back of this truck everyday. I've tried everything I can but need some support. Airfare for us, and our dog is exspensive and almost impossible to save up for because anything we get is spent so fast on everyday needs. On top of needing luggage which isn't cheap. We also lost our storage unit that had everything but the clothes we happened to have in our vehicle. I just need to get my family back home and didn't know who else to turn to. ANYTHING is something even a share. I appreciate anybody even taking the time to read our story. Please understand this was very hard for me to do. This last year has been hell, and I'm SO desperate for something to give. I'm nervous about the judgement, or negative comments but it can't be like this anymore. Like I said. I'm setting my pride aside... Thank you <3
