A lady, who became homeless and ended up living in her car, started a blog chronicling her daily struggles to survive. In under a year it ended up becoming so popular that it was picked by BBC News and the NYT. It has now become a book and the lady has a huge publishing deal. She no longer lives in her car and is writing the next book. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the blog but if you do a search for "blog for homeless person living in car", something might come up.

BTW she is an excellent writer and her writing style was so evocative that a lot of the people that posted comments expressed how her writing had so moved them emotionally.
