Valley Fire Survivor - on Wheels

Valley Fire (Anderson Springs) Survivor:

UPDATE (10/23/16 @ 1400 hrs):

Thanks to those that have donated...
Truck is still on the road, thank you.
Fuel is going to become an issue after the first of the month...

Hardy is gone, ran away from Mirabel Springs Road landing site just over a month ago.  Still hasn't returned home.   So now I'm adding the loss of my best friend of over 16 yrs and fellow survivor from 11505 Alder Lane to all the other losses..


RV has been on the property for some time now, blackwater tank is overflowing making life miserable.
There has been some minor influx of funds along the way, but nowhere near what was needed to accomplish ANY meaningful forward progress...

Seems most organizations are only interested in doling out funds just enough to keep someone alive and dependant on them, and NOT interested or capable of doing anything that accomplishes meaningful progress.
Yes...  I've gotten quite bitter on that subject from all the waiting, unfulfilled promises, and flat out lies...

I've used up all my propane (two 7-gal tanks) AGAIN...  With all this waiting.

Water service was restored a year ago, but has now been shut OFF because I've had to wait for so long for the organizations that said they were going to help to DO so...  This makes it virtually impossible to get cleaned up to become employable again...
I was SO close...

So here I am asking for your help in continuing to move forward through all the delays, waiting, and costs that just keep coming, with very little progress...

I've raised the campaign amount to $3.6k as over time more items have been added to the list of necessities to get stable enough to get back to work...
See my most recent update for what the needs are.

Finally, after a year of searching, obtained a tank large enough to handle the black waste, and dispose of it in a proper manner.

I would gladly accept goods or services for any of these needs, if that would be more convenient.

AND...  My sincere and happy congratulations to all those that have broken ground and have begun, or nearly completed their rebuilds.

I JUST WANT TO GET BACK TO WORK, SO I CAN GET TO THAT PLACE IN RECOVERY !!!

I'll be giving one whale of a BBQ when I get to that point...   And of course, all those that choose to donate, and have donated, and not done so anonymously, shall be invited...

I am a Survivor of the "Valley Fire", which started on September 12th of 2015, and destroyed about 1300 homes in MIDDLETOWN, COBB, ANDERSON SPRINGS, and HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE in CALIFORNIA and surrounding area.

The house and property has been in my family since 1975, and I am the deeded owner.
The address of record is:
11505 Alder Lane
Anderson Springs, CA

PS: This is basically Phase One of the rebuild process, as I promised I would post at the initial opening of this Campaign.

Phase Two shall be the hardcopy planning and design.
And Phase Three shall be the actual layout and breaking of ground.

And in case I forgot to mention...
I plan to make this an energy efficient, zero footprint, minimal visible/environmental impact, showplace...   Just to prove how much can be accomplished with the technology and knowledge we have now...

We need to be taking better care of our environment...
