He was forced to sleep in the front seat of his car for most of the past four months, he said, since he could no longer afford to pay for both his car and a motel room in Perth. Harmer kept warm by running his car or going into Tim Hortons. Tye-Bernicky says she met Harmer a week ago when he came into her Smiths Falls store to pay for a tank of gas. He told her, “I just can’t do it anymore.”Harmer explained how he had spent much of the past four months in his car to be close to his ailing wife.. “We’ve been receiving donations at the gas station for him: new socks, gas cards,” she said.
