One womans journey into homelessness InsideHalton.com
25.08.11
What would it be like to be homeless? How would it feel to go from a normal life to a life where the stuffy insides of a car serve as your living quarters? How would you feel about yourself if confronted with such a situation?
For long-time Oakville resident Sharon White, 60, no imagination is necessary.
White is new to the homeless experience as she only started living in her car on July 19, of this year.
It’s a nice car, a Nissan Rogue, which driving down the street does not look out of place in Oakville.
The car, however, is a remnant of White’s very different life, and now houses a sleeping bag, clothes, suitcases, books, water bottles and White herself.
“I never thought this would happen to me. Never in a million years,” said White, during an interview in Coronation Park.
“If you knew my past accomplishments and where I’ve traveled, flying on TD jets, and here I am now…it’s just unbelievable.”
