Woman who works 40 hours per week says she can’t afford a home so lives in her car

A woman has revealed that she is homeless and has to live in her car despite working full-time, 40 hours a week, to make money “so I can eat”.

Retail worker Aaliyah, 22, admitted that she had to brush her teeth at work and use a local gym to take showers, before returning to her car to sleep - sometimes just two hours a night.

Posting her story on TikTok, she described her life saying: "you do your hair in the car or in a place that opens early so you can brush your teeth, take showers at Planet Fitness and wonder why you’re always so tired and barely smile."
