In her viral videoTikTok user Alexa Safar (@.alexa.nicole) explained how she ended up without a home.

The TikToker, who lives in New Jersey, lost her mother when she was just 15 and continued to live in the house where she grew up.

She told her audience that the house would officially be in her name when she turned 18.

However, another family member who was responsible for Alexa’s mother’s bills had failed to manage them properly, leaving her with thousands of pounds in debt.

She was forced to sell her parents’ house to pay the high interest payments.

Alexa then went to live with her grandmother, but her two dogs Cookie and Baby were not allowed there.

They stayed at her aunt’s house for a while, but had to leave when her cousins ​​became allergic.

Now Alexa and her father both live in their car, while continuing to work to save money for a permanent residence.

She explained that both her family members and people online had advised her to take the dogs to a shelter so she could continue living with her grandmother.

“They try to convince me to put them up for adoption, but I could never do that,” Alexa said.

After losing her mother, she found the idea of ​​her pets disappearing unbearable.

The TikToker showed her audience her car gear, including crates and dog beds in the backseat.

Alexa had tears in her eyes as she told the story to her followers.

She posted a GoFundMe link in her TikTok bio so strangers could donate and help her buy the supplies to keep going.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments.

Rules for living in a car

CAR LIVING is on the rise as people struggle with the cost of living and others seek a nomadic existence.

This is everything we know about the rules for driving in the UK.

In the UK it is legal to live in your car as long as you follow a few rules.

The only condition is that your car has passed the MOT and is fully legal for public roads.

If the car is legally parked, there are no rules prohibiting sleeping or living in a car.

The trend of living in a car or van has become very popular in the United States, where people have been forced to leave their rental homes after landlords raised the rent.

Others have chosen to remain living in their vehicles and build a free, nomadic existence, traveling throughout the country.

There are certain circumstances where it is not legal to sleep in a car in the UK.

First, you must park in a safe parking lot without violating any parking rules.

In certain parking lots, airports, and in national parks and forests, there are restrictions on overnight parking. This means that you are not allowed to stay overnight in a vehicle there.

If you break the rules, you could be fined or even have your vehicle towed.

Secondly, you must not be over the legal alcohol limit and must not be under the influence of drugs if you plan to sleep in your car.

If you are over the limit, you can be charged with driving under the influence in a public place, even if you are not driving.

The ban on sleeping in a car while drunk is laid down in the Road Traffic Act of 1988.

The rule says you can be found guilty of an offence if you are in charge of a vehicle on a road or public place “after consuming so much alcohol that the amount of alcohol in your breath, blood or urine exceeds the prescribed limit.”

“I’m glad you didn’t give up on your dogs because they will never give up on you,” said one viewer.

“They will always show you their love, even when no one else does.”

“I will be praying for you and your dogs. Everything will be okay, just don’t lose faith,” wrote another.

“This is true love, I know there’s something good [is] to go [to] “This can’t happen to you,” added a third commenter.

“I literally live in a tent with my dog, the council doesn’t want to help me, [they] told me they don’t have supportive housing to accept dogs,” another follower responded.
