Our family is homeless.
There are four of us. My husband, myself, and our two teenage boys.
We sleep in our car, in Walmart parking lots or rest stops.
We are on the waiting list for the local shelter and for other housing locally.

My oldest son has autism. I am permanently disabled due to an accident in 2011 that has left me unable to work. My husband suffers from crippling anxiety, depression and ptsd.
I get social security for my injury, and I worked from age 16 to my accident in 2011. (2/8)

My family is currently homeless. We live in our car, usually at Walmart parking lots or rest stops. We are a family of four. I'm disabled, my husband suffers from mental illness, and we have two teenage boys, as well. My oldest is autistic. (thread)
Because of the autism and because we all suffer from anxiety, we avoid the overnight shelter here, which is usually full of sick children, loud noise, and awful smells. I have tried this option many times, and my oldest just hides in the bathroom when we are there.
