A HOMELESS woman in one of the nation’s largest cities has shared the details of her struggle to find housing.

Los Angeles resident Laura Garciaros, 60, has been living out of her 1989 Mallard Sprinter, an RV, since last year.

The vehicle is currently parked in an industrial stretch of the San Fernando Valley alongside many other homeless RV dwellers.

“I see the people out here that have given up,” Garciaros told The Los Angeles Times.

“There really is no other choice but to fight.

“The other is just too hell on earth.”

Garciaros has lived in Los Angeles her whole life.

During her younger years, she was so enmeshed in the city’s rock music scene that she got a thank you note in the credits of the Guns N’ Roses album Appetite for Destruction.

After that, Garciaros got married and lived a middle class existence with her two sons.

But she struggled in the wake of a divorce and a traumatizing physical attack that left her in a psychiatric hospital.

Garciaros was able to rent rooms around the city for a time, but as the rental market in California heated up these opportunities faded away.

Eventually it got so bad that the woman’s friends helped her buy an RV.

Once she was homeless, Garciaros struggled to find aid from the government and non-profits.

Several RVs in the camp caught fire around that time.

The rumor in the neighborhood camp was that these fires were caused by arsonists.

Garciaros was also uncomfortable with the rampant drug use in the neighborhood and the fact that she couldn’t move the RV without potentially losing her spot.

She currently has to walk to a local grocery store to use the bathroom and is often harassed by the people she passes.

As the woman was mentally spiraling, she kept submitting paperwork to government agencies in hopes of finding a Section 8 apartment.

Garciaros was able to get a voucher and even located an apartment with a willing landlord.

This was no easy task due to the stigma surrounding Section 8 vouchers.

But it seemed like administrators needed an endless amount of paperwork to get her over the finish line.

Every time the woman would submit what she thought was the last document, another missing piece of information would be identified.

As of Tuesday, when the article was published, Garciaros was still living out of her trailer.

She’s set up a GoFundMe page where donors can contribute to her quest for stable housing.

It’s currently at $412 of its $1,000 goal.
