I was given this number by the 211 operator yesterday. Of course since it was after hours I had to wait until today to call. Well, I just spoke to the Receptionist or Counselor (not sure) regarding a gas card. She told me that I can go online and fill out an application but she doesn’t think they will approve it! What?? Why not? Is it because I sound like I’m black on the phone? or is it because I don’t sound desperate enough? It’s obvious I need it for work (Amazon Flex). I am in the process of losing “EVERYTHING” that I worked hard for!!! I use to live in a four bedroom house making $65,000 a year. I never thought I would be homeless sleeping in my car and begging Christian Organizations for help! This is embarrassing and humiliating.. I have cried so much until I’m literally out of tears. Maybe God need to let you go through being homeless so you can learn how to have compassion for people!!
