At one point in her life, LaShenda Williams would spend nearly every night sleeping in her car in the parking lot of her local Kroger grocery store. Although she usually drove around to different places during the day, when bedtime rolled around she would almost always park at the same supermarket.
“I would lean my seat all the way back so no one would see me because, you know, I knew I wasn’t supposed to be there,” Williams told NBC Nightly News.
