<div>Hi, my name is Melinna.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For a while now, I’ve been experiencing homelessness and living out of my Toyota with my two cats. They are my family. They are my comfort. And they are the reason I keep going, even on the days when I feel completely exhausted and scared.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I work. I show up. I try. But despite doing everything I can, I haven’t been able to get back on my feet fast enough to secure stable housing. Living in my car was supposed to be temporary — just something to get me through a rough chapter.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now my transmission is starting to fail.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every time I turn the key, I feel anxiety in my chest. My car isn’t just transportation — it’s my shelter, my safety, and the only stable space my cats and I have. If it stops running, I lose more than mobility. I lose my home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am trying to stay proactive instead of reactive. Instead of waiting for a breakdown that could leave us stranded, <strong>I’m asking for help to transition into something safer and more stable: a small camper or RV.</strong> It wouldn’t be luxury — it would be stability. A lock on the door. A consistent place to sleep. A way to rebuild without the constant fear of “what if tomorrow is the day everything falls apart?”

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a bridge. A way to move from survival mode into something sustainable.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can donate, share, or even just send encouragement, it means more than you know. Truly. I’m doing everything I can to keep moving forward, and any support helps <strong>me and my cats</strong> get one step closer to safety and stability.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading my story.

</div>

<div>Thank you for caring.

</div>

<div>And thank you for being part of the reason I don’t give up.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>— Melinna
