Abby & Lily's Tiny House Fund

Donation protected
Abby and Lily are two Third Year students at Earlham College. They met during August Wilderness in 2013 and have been becoming better friends every since. 

This year they discovered they love and passion for the tiny house movement and took to writing a proposal to allow Earlham to let them build and live in a tiny house on wheels for their Fourth Year. 

Their proposal was approved and now the adventure as really begun. (follow our blog for updates and previous posts)

Their housing bill will be redirected from their tuition to the build of the house (which totals $9 900). We have guess-timated the total coast will be around $20 000. We hope to repurpose as many materials is as feasible taking into consideration our safety and our environmental impact.

The money we raise will go towards construction, appliances and transportation. We will be building in Denver, Colorado and driving it back to Richmond, Indiana.

Some appliances/features we will be purchasing or repurposing for less than or no money, are: a flatbed trailer, an induction stove, a space heater, electrical wiring, battery, LED lights, solar panels, windows, doors, bucket for composting toilet, shower head... and much more! 

Our house will be 8'x20' and will be totally off the grid. We have considered the techniques of passive house designs and will build with environmental consciousness. We will build over our summer break (May-July). 

We believe strongly in the efforts of the collective to address the negative impacts humans have made. We also believe that the change begins with each of us individually. The future of sustainable, and mindful living is here. We can make a difference. You can make a difference. One step is the beginning of a journy. Even if you commit to not using plastic bags anymore your decisions make a difference. 

Our future now. 

We appreciate the time you are taking to read about our project and hope you consider contributing to our cause. 

With love and light, 
Abby & Lily
