As a food delivery driver in Elkhart, Indiana, 34-year old Wendy Reynolds says she used to have to struggle to get work picking up orders. Today, she works 14-hour shifts, sometimes unable to find a public restroom the whole time, running her car into the ground trying to keep up with orders coming from people waiting at home for their meal deliveries. Reynolds, a mother of two, pays out of her own pocket to stay in Airbnb rentals and hotels while she works in order to protect her children and parents. Through audio journals provided to ABC News, Reynolds shares her reasons for putting herself at risk during long, lonely days for sometimes very little money.
