Hi. I’m homeless on the streets in Pensacola, FL. I’m disabled on fixed, low income & a small part time job. How can I get a free car, to have better job opportunities?
Thanks so much.

Candy,
I’m so sorry about your circumstances. We do have some information about free cars here. Unfortunately, we haven’t found much. Is public transit an option? Or you could try 211.org for more resources in your area. I hope this helps.

Robyn,
I’m so sorry for your troubles. I can’t even imagine. I know that some states offer free transit for those with disabilities. They pick you up at your door! You could also try 211.org for more resources in your area. I hope this helps and that you get some answers.
