This is a regular rainy day in Liberty County, GA. It was rainy this day but quite warm at the same time.
This is Ms. Garcia. She has been homeless living in the car for about 4 years, but she makes the best out of life.
Ms. Garcia is at Wendy's charging her phone. She has a phone and iPad she charges at Wendy's everyday to keep her occupied during the night.
This is the Wendy's Ms. Garcia goes to during the day across from Walmart. "Sometimes when I'm in there the employees bless me with free food and I am highly grateful," said Ms. Garcia.
This is Ms. Garcia's view every morning. Her car is faced right in front of the main highway in the city.
This is the buggy that she uses sometimes. Most times people come and bless her with cash and she takes the buggy to get groceries.
This is Ms. Garcia's old car and bike. The car doesn't work anymore, but she has a bike to get around in.
All of the tires on the car as messed up and flat. The car does run anymore because of a lot of mechanical damage.
This is the car door of the back seat. Ms. Garcia uses this to store her plastic utensils and water bottles.
This is the backseat dashboard. "I store my foods and bottles back here to keep everything together and organized," said Ms. Garcia.
This is the trunk of the car. "I keep all of my clothes and bags in the trunk to keep it safe from the rain and smells," said Ms. Garcia.
This is a wheelchair that someone donated to Ms. Garcia. Sometimes her knees and legs gets swollen so she uses the wheelchair when she does certain tasks.
Ms. Garcia is walking down the parking lot. "I walk down the parking lot sometimes in the day to stretch my legs, sleeping in the backseat can make you a little stiff," said Ms. Garcia.
Ms. Garcia is still stretching her legs. " I actually use to play tennis when I was young, doing things like this reminds me," she said.
This is a day someone comes to drop off food for Ms. Garcia. "Throughout the week there are God-given people that bring me hot meals," she said.
This is food from a Chinese restaurant called wonton. She was brought a chicken breast with shrimp fried rice and a sweet tea.
Ms. Garcia is smiling while she is enjoying her food. "Many people complain about the little things that I am highly grateful for," she said.
Ms. Garcia is still enjoying her food. "I really don't plan to live like this for long, I'm trying to make somethings happen for myself', she said.
In the picture you can see the cover under Ms. Garcia. She sleeps in the backseat with covers and a few donated pillows. Ms. Garcia is enjoying her blessed day. "I believe God will bring out of this, this struggle makes my faith even stronger," she said.
