Michael is forced homeless
Michael’s car is only 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, but for him it has become his world. On the passenger seat, they run their ‘office’, spend nights in the back seats, and take a bath in the bathroom of service stations. It is not that they are not capable of better life than this, or could not live. But they are forced.
Due to the process of divorce, he cannot live in his ownership family house. And the St. Helens Council also refused to assist him as a landlord. The result is that for more than two months, they have been living by parking a car in the roadside Ley-Bai.

Breaking health and mosam
Michael shared his suffering, saying, “This condition is terrible. The lack of mobility has broken me. I have heart disease, and it is difficult to live in these conditions. I am dependent on the cold cafes and supermarkets.
Michael says, “Sometimes Karwari gets good food for Rs 721, but it is not possible due to the rising cost of living. While in the car, I also have to think about where the next toilet break will be, so you are afraid to eat cheap or unknown food.”
This difficulty of Michael’s life is not only physical, but also emotional. Michael’s parents live in St. Hallens. There is a shortage of space due to medical equipment in his house, and there is no other relatives who can help. He told Eco that his parents “will not survive even Christmas”, because their health is deteriorating rapidly.
The story of Michael is not just a human, but of thousands of people who become homeless due to divorce, financial constraints and administrative obstacles. Facing heart disease, shrinking in a car in cold nights, and facing uncertainty every moment – all of them are examining their courage. They say that family and friends are getting support, but lack of real help is breaking them.
