Paramedic Lisa Jennings found herself living in her 2003 Ford hatchback for 10 days this year.
The car became a temporary home after she had to leave the garage she was renting with $375 of her $906 monthly B.C. disability allowance.
Times have been tough, mentally and financially, since June 24, 2014 — the day Jennings says she experienced post-traumatic stress disorder on the job. Her initial claim for compensation from WorkSafe B.C. was rejected. That decision is under appeal.
