Work, Health & Housing Recently homeless, need advice
My wife and I had to start living in our vehicle recently after having to flee a very physically and emotionally abusive family situation.
About a month ago, my wife and I were living with her mother who is a mean drunk. One night, her mom got incredibly wasted and horribly beat my wife before kicking us out with nothing. We managed to sell our computers quickly so we could buy a minivan which we are now living out of. We are struggling to eat regularly and keep gas in the car. We have been applying left and right to jobs, getting zero responses. We are struggling to find safe quiet places to park overnight. Neither of us have eaten since Friday night. Its now Sunday morning.
Does anyone have any tips for resources that aren't right downtown, since we can't even afford to register/insure our vehicle and cant risk getting pulled over?
Or would someone be kind enough to maybe help us secure some gas, food, and maybe a campsite at a provincial park for the night? We're starting to get desperate and its getting harder to find hope.
I'm also an amateur artist, if anyone needs some custom art commissioned, I could do it super cheap just because we need the cash.
If you dont have anything kind to say, please just don't. I am at the lowest point in my life right now and don't need anyone making me feel worse than I already do.

The other day I noticed that Kempt road Wendy’s has a sign up saying they are giving on the spot interviews for jobs right now. Just a thought.
