Driving for Uber and Lyft has helped bring in some money, but not enough to offset expenses.
"What I can tell you is I barely work," Sharp said.
"In May I worked two days, in April I worked four days, in March I worked two days, in February I worked two days, in January I worked one day."
"I'm not embarrassed about that, but when I’m willing to work — and bust my ass — why is it that I can’t get a living wage?"
Ironically, fast-food jobs are now quite difficult to obtain, Sharp said, not least because their hourly wages are higher than in many other industries thanks to California's new $20 minimum wage for workers in the sector.
