6:30 pm UPDATE: we are at $897 $1328!! About 15% of the way there!

Hi everyone! As many of you know, I caught Covid back in February 2020, about a week before it exploded all over the news. Unfortunately, the long-term effects have been pretty brutal, and I now have a number of permanent health issues. I’ve only made it this far due to the generosity of the DK community, especially Vetwife who posted a fundraiser for me back in March, aashirs nani who helped make it such a success, and the DK members who so generously donated to keep me and my kitties afloat. You guys are amazing!!!

Unfortunately, according to the SSA it could still be more than a year (!!!) before an adjudicator is appointed to my case. And so I’m looking long-term at how to cut my living expenses to the bone.

Living in Virginia, an RV is really quite a viable option (no 5 month winters!). I’d been thinking about it for quite a while, but then I saw this! A 1998 Coachman in solid mechanical and physical shape, needing a few repairs that are within my abilities, for $6500.

A home. A home that I own, small and portable though it may be, for $6500.

Please, if you can, please help make it happen:

Paypal address: userexists11@gmail.com

(use “friends and family” — no fees!)

I already went and looked at it, and it really is solid. The work it needs is all stuff I can do (I may have to draft my son to help a bit!) I'm hoping eventually to afford a small piece of land to go with it, but in the meantime with the help of friends I should be able to "park" it inexpensively and thus remove my single largest monthly expense, which is rent.

we can haz wheelie-howse wif kitteh loft? srsly, thx!

I’m hoping to raise a bit extra to retrofit it for solar (right now the stove and furnace run on propane), and cover the repairs. Wheezer and Seeya are used to an apartment which honestly is not much bigger than an RV -- I suspect they'll make the transition pretty easily :-)

It would be SO amazing to have an affordable, sustainable, and long-term "house" for my small family! Thank you so much for reading this, and for any help you can give.
