Help Nicole fund a place to live and a car to own

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Nicole Drakeford. I'm 51 years of age. As everyone was hit and faced with a pandemic via Covid-19 and on lockdown, I was flying on an airplane from Federal Prison after 6 yrs of incarceration. That was to be the happiest day of my life yet I was met with family members and close friends that truly couldn't help give me the support I would need to succeed returning back into society as a law abiding citizen. When one family exhausted funds and could no longer afford to help support me, I would shift from beds and sofas to finally a homeless shelter. After almost a year out of prison, I bought a car and found a job.. I applied to numerous apartment's and house rentals and got turned down. My car finally became my house and I begin living out of my car. The instability if not being able to shower and get proper rest made it hard to keep my job.. Then I woke up at a hotel that a friend oayed for last Monday night to my car being repossessed. My clothing and legal paperwork and money were in the car. I don't have the money to pay for hotels and my new job starts next week. I've got one outfit and a pair if shoes to my name a a donated outfit I received yesterday to my name.. The shies are slides. Please help me purchase a car and get a home of my own so I can be successful in life and end homelessness . Your prayers and encouraging words are appreciated even if you have nothing to give. Thank you all who take the time to read and nay you be blessed should you give returned to yiy 100 fold.
