my 60-something year old father has started delivering food

he has a part time job somewhere else, but it’s seasonal and almost over, so the delivery thing isn’t “just for fun” or to make a little money on the side to save up for something he wants or even needs. it’s so we can eat, and we don’t become homeless. i’m going to college soon hopefully and will be able to obtain support from my school to be less of a financial burden on him but in the meantime, i’m terrified and upset— not because food delivery is an embarrassing job or anything, it’s definitely not— but because of the recent rash of shootings spawning from people so much as being outside of the wrong house! his girlfriend accompanied him today so i feel better about that, but… he’s older, he has his smartphone but even i get lost and turned around with mine and i’m significantly younger… ugh.…

i don’t know if this is the right place to post in, but since losing his job in 2019 it’s been impossible for him to find work anywhere else even with his extensive employment history— i’m talking about getting turned down from managing CVS part time etc after working in a solid statistics position w a company for about as many years as i am old

inb4 “why don’t you get a job then”: i have both physical and mental disability and am currently working with vocational rehabilitation services to find a job that won’t put me in the hospital again like min wage retail keeps doing 🥲

just wanted to vent; hopefully things will get better when i go off to college.
