I've been in my car for over 3 years now. I travel the country and do gig work. Most Americans have no idea how many Americans live in their cars. Think of it like an iceberg. The homeless you see on the streets are just the small tip of the iceberg, meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of people that you don't see such as myself. I don't do drugs, I dont even drink alcohol. I work 6 days a week. I take care of my hygiene, health, etc all while sleeping in my car every day. I just view the good things about it. Sure I'm not in a home but I get to travel around, I get to do things on my own time. I've visited most of the national parks and a good majority of the states. Life is beautiful to me and will always be beautiful no matter the circumstances

Can you imagine how much money Disney Land generates a day and their paying their employees crumbs?!? I'm so disgusted.

That little boy talks like he’s a grown man with too much stress and worrying about things that he shouldn’t have to at his age. Imagine having a fear of going back into foster care and worrying about your parents stress. He can’t even just be a child.
@weaselkiller
The little boy, Ryan, is an amazing kid. You can tell how much he shoulders for his parents and his siblings. You can tell how well he was raised. He's going to be an amazing husband and father one day.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the well wishes. My son and I have places. As of 2021 I was cancer free. Be safe. This happened to my son and I. Back in 2019 at end of lease our rent went up almost 300. I was on chemo and wasn’t working. We slept in the suv until we got into a shelter. A year later found a place. Before cancer, I worked at a major HMO. Being homeless can happen to anyone. Its sad the US has become so unaffordable.

We were lower middle class when I was a kid, but we were lucky. My father inherited enough money from his parents to allow them to buy a small house outright. Dad also had a steady job that put food on the table, paid the bills and allowed Mom stay home to raise us kids. My parents did the best that they could and for that I am eternally grateful.
@schoomzer
I have to give the mother of two children living in her car a lot of credit because she has so much patience and strength.

Seeing Amber's three year old daughter say, "I'm so angry!" and "I'm not happy anymore," broke my heart. Children of that age can and do feel the stress, tension and anxiety that their parents are experiencing. The USA is so broken I don't know if it can ever be fixed. My heart is with Amber and her two beautiful girls...wherever they are I hope that they're all happy, healthy and well. 💜💜

That lady that opened the car park. Bless you lady. ❣for keeping those little kids safe.
@bhagavatidasi2373
That kid being the 'big brother' is truly amazing. I wish I could just hug him and make sure that they will be ok.
@richardhudson1243
To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

God bless the hotel manager for taking In The elderly homeless woman
@margojones39
My husband and I lived in our car for 9 months. Inflation got so bad that we were priced out of the housing market. We had to move cross country to finally get a place. I sympathize with everyone going through this. Keep hope. Things can change.
@ParkJimin-vo1dq
I was telling my mom the story of the gentleman that works at Disney making $8.20/hr and she said back in 1992 she was earning $7.50/hr working in a diner. I just wanted to cry cause I can't believe how these big corporations are taking advantage of their workers paying miserable wages. It's been more than 30yrs something has to change.
@tiffsjourney877
It is impossible to get ahead while staying in a hotel. I, unfortunately, use to be in the same situation. All the work money goes to the room and there is nothing left to save. I had to wait until I got my taxes to be able to get unstuck. My heart goes out to anyone struggling.❤💯
@Lauren-ub7ih
This is how I grew up and didn’t get out until I was 18. I’m still poor and live in an apartment, but I can feed myself, pay bills, and save money. It’s a long way out of that hole and unfortunately a lot of people give up.
@prettywoman7776
When the little girl said I'm not happy that broke my heart.
@catieq5270
As a mother, it absolutely breaks my heart to see any child suffering. I can’t imagine how Amber has been able to care for both of her girls, but I hope they are doing much better.
@vickireid9581
Prayers for Amber, her husband and the girls. Our government sucks something has to change. Prayers for everyone going thru these hard times!
