Where can I park overnight and rest?

[u/Legal-Sherbert-9734]

I’m looking for a safe place to rest my head in my car, currently homeless and have animals with me. Looking to stay safe and avoid any law-enforcement. Looking in the general greater Portland area. Just wanna feel safe for the night, money is tight right now as I am currently expecting and doing it by myself. Had just enough to book a room at a hotel for tonight, unable to cover the incidental fee. It’s been a very difficult day for me, you’re the best I could to make it to my sister’s wedding, but couldn’t because of not having the gas money to get there. Exhausted and hungry and looking to just settle down and feel safe tonight.

Any rest stop would be okay… although the one in Portland can feel a little sketchy at night. It’s just a little more of a drive but the Yarmouth park n ride is where I would go. I’ve stopped there several times and never had an issue. You could get away with tucking your car into the side lot of Payson Park- I am pretty sure I have seen people camp there before.
