All around the US, people are experiencing some real financial challenges in the wake of the pandemic. For some, the solution looks like finding a new side-hustle, but for others, the risk is losing their home.
Gail is a 63-year-old senior who has recently made headlines when she realized that she was going to have to live out of her SUV when her rent spiked in July.
When she realized that she was basically being evicted involuntarily, she didn’t have a place to go. Her only option was to take her dog and live out of her Honda CRV.
“It’s really kind of fun, except sometimes it can get kind of hot,” Clay said.
“I’d rather pay my car note and just enjoy life. It’s a choice that I honestly make every day, if I want to be sane, or if I want to be insane,” she said.
Apparently, the letter that she received from her landlord said they didn’t receive the keys on the date they needed them and it was going to cost two months of additional rent. But, Gail has record that she sent the keys to the property managers through certified mail!
It’s clear that the numbers don’t add up, especially with how detailed Gail has been with everything. Even after submitting all her proof to the management firm, they still aren’t stopping. There’s clearly something else going on.
“It’s a catch 22 but I’m not caught because I don’t mind sleeping in my car,” she said.
Gail is retired but will occasionally get work as a licensed massage therapist. The only issue is that she makes enough money that she’s disqualified for certain help and benefits, but she doesn’t make enough to make all of her ends meet. Essentially, she can’t rent anywhere.
Written on her bed is the word “breathe”.
“When I get overwhelmed; Gail, breathe. This is only temporary; Gail breathe,” she tells herself
She sets it up through camping platforms and doesn’t mind it, as long as it’s not too hot. The only thing left is to keep chugging along and fight the retaliation from the management company.
