The homeless Disney worker who died alone in her car became the face of a public debate, but all she wanted was privacy
For seven years, Yeweinishet ?Weini? Mesfin lived out of her Honda Civic.
A night janitor at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Mesfin decided not to tell family and coworkers that she was homeless, outside of one or two people.
When she died, barely a week after her birthday, she was alone in that same car ? a 61-year-old woman, worn out, suffering from heart problems. A victim of her own secrecy, nobody in her life could be there to help her.
Relatives and friends began a frantic search when she failed to show up at work on Nov. 29, 2016, or get in contact. Because they had no clue where to look, it took 20 days to discover Mesfin, dressed in exercise clothes and clutching her keys, in the driver?s seat of her dark green 1999 sedan parked at the gym where she showered.
Her decomposing body remained undetected until a strong odor alerted a security guard.
Now, more than a year after her death, Mesfin?s private struggle is the subject of public debate.
A recent union-commissioned survey of 5,000 Disney employees ? one-sixth of the resort?s workforce ? led to headlines about the wages of workers who say they don?t make enough to pay for food, housing and medical care. Mesfin soon emerged as the subject of social media posts and stories tying the way she died to her own paycheck.
The autopsy report from the Orange County coroner attributes Mesfin?s death to an enlarged heart. No foul play.
Thousands of homeless people around Southern California live in motor vehicles ? cars, trucks, vans and aging RVs. Often the only acknowledgment of homeless people who die in their cars is a line on a coroner?s spreadsheet.
But sometimes such deaths do make the news, as with the family of four ? a man, a woman and two young children ? who were found inside their van March 15 at a Garden Grove shopping center parking lot. It is believed they died accidentally from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mesfin was among 203 people whose residence the coroner?s office listed as ?no fixed abode? when they died in 2016, the deadliest year on record for homeless people in Orange County. At least 15 of them died in parked vehicles.

That "we" is only a handful of those several hundred protestors. Once the homeless tent camp issue blows over, there will be no one holding signs and/or calling the city council about tackling the longterm homeless issue in Orange County. For the vast majority it is a simply a NIMBY issue.
