CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- Earlier this year, Michelle Fishburne found herself in a similar position to thousands of fellow North Carolinians: out of work because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I was sitting in a parking lot at Target. It was about July 15, and after 86 customized cover letters, I still did not have a job," Fishburne recalled.
Her lease was up at the end of the month, and she didn't know where she would tell the movers to bring her belongings. That's when she had an idea -- inspired by the popular social media account Humans of New York -- to document people's experiences during the pandemic.
