Tiny Family Dreams of Tiny Home

Hello! We are Michelle, Mijo (Me Ho) and Koko the cat!

I'm a stay at home single mother to my 5 year old son, who is on the autism spectrum. We're living in government housing and while grateful for the lower rent we just don't feel safe with the drug use that goes on around us. A Tiny House would hopefully allow us to park in a nice backyard in a safer area.

We're interested in the Tiny House lifestyle for many reasons. Besides being super cute, they leave a smaller footprint and are more energy efificant saving me money on utilities. As a frugal mom this is important to me.

My son is the one who encouraged me to do more research into Tiny Houses. I was watching a video of a Tiny House from Pocket Mansions when he came to join me, he then became obsessed! You can watch the video here:

My goal is to add to my Tiny House Fund and have enough by the end of the 2016 to start building it OR possibly buy one that will suit our needs. I've been looking around and they are between $20,000 and $60,000 depending on the size and specifications. Of course I'll do what I can to keep the costs down when I can.

If you are local to Victoria,BC then I am willing to donate my childcare,house cleaning or house sitting services to you in exchange for help with the build or materials I may need.

Your support is extremely appreciated! Any donation would make a huge impact. Please feel free to share our dream with your friends who are interested. Thank you for your support!
