I would rebuild my life over . I been homeless since my mother passed in 2020 . I would take some of the money and invest in a food truck and the rest get some where to live . Cooking bring me peace and understanding. So me having some where to live to cook and a food truck would help me a lot, and do what i wanna do, and that be a famous top chef.
