any advice for quick work or a solution for my situation?
hey folks,
my family and me are from Tennessee. we've been living on the road, out of the car, since early January. wife, our two year old and me.
we've been through Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and now NC. we've been surviving off Instacart since we realized that the further away from Memphis we got, the better the pay was getting.
it's been a decent time. the 2yo genuinely loves being on the road. we know it's unorthodox but given how much he loves the outdoors, he's been very happy. we check out parks in nearly every city we go to. wife and me enjoy the freedom and lack of responsibilities like rent and utilities. we were in a bad living situation before this and this has been much better, despite the current heat.
unfortunately, my car has had a seized engine for about a month and a half now. pretty sure the locals are sick of us, given how many cop interactions we've had. they're worried for our kid's welfare, which I totally understand. but we gotta get out of this before they try to take him or some shit. we can't prove that he has everything he needs in the car.
we've been trying to save by doing curbside pick ups for Instacart at the Publix but that shit is low paying and not at all ideal.
so does anyone have any leads on some work I can get, maybe labor or something, that I can walk to and preferably get paid under the table so we can get a new engine asap? alternatively, does anyone know of any assistance we can go through?
if you're gonna be judgemental, please keep it to yourself. we're just out of towners in need of some advice.
thank you
