Naomi wasn't in the greatest situation as of currently. She'd been living in an apartment, small and cheap and not in the best condition, she was already kinda struggling. But then, she'd gotten laid off from her job. Things really started spiraling from there, as she lost her apartment. She knew she couldn't go to her parents, as much as she loved them and they loved her, they were the type to shove a kid out the house at eighteen and never let them back in, refusing to believe that the economy had changed since they were Naomi's age and insisting people were just lazy nowadays.
She stayed with a friend for quite a bit while searching for a job, but the job market wasn't the best. Eventually she decided she couldn't mooch off her friend anymore, and she left. All she had was her car, her clothes, her personal possessions in the trunk, and enough money to afford food for herself and her cat, Moonpie.
It was cold, but where she lived it was better to be outside all the time during winter than summer. She couldn't go to a homeless shelter, as they didn't allow pets. And she couldn't imagine giving up Moonpie..she just didn't know what she was gonna do.
