John and Thea's Wonder Van or SUV
Donation protected
Hi! We're John and Thea. Soon to be married duo and makers behind 6 by 6 Arts.
As some of you know, the BronVan died peacefully in the Cascade Mountains during a road trip home from Yakima. It chose a majestic scenic vista to putter out at and park for the final time.
Not only was it a continous comedic subject in regards to John but, it was our big hauling vehicle for our company. Our lives have been empty since the BronVan passed. Even Thea, the well known minivan hater misses that ridiculous van. (Fun Fact: that minivan was one of the 5 things wrong with John. AKA -Thea's 5 reasons to not date John list.) We have been completely disabled with transporting essential supplies for work, kid activities and especially hauling things around in preparation for the wedding.
Being self employed means that we often have to go pick up and move our own supplies to save money on freight fees. We're talking large sheets of wood people! We also actively participate in craft and tradeshows and need to move our goods and large booth set up items. We also often have to haul anywhere from 1 to 6 of our very tall kids too. Sometimes their friends tag along! Kids are constantly pouring out of our house!
In lieu of gifts (aside from a blender)- we're asking for a monetary gift that we will use towards the purchase of used van or SUV to replace the BronVan.
We will be an older newlywed couple. Our hair is turning grey, we're shrinking and we have all of the household items one could ever need. (Except for that previously mentioned blender .)
While we wish we were succcessful enough to be charitable and ask for donations to a charity in our name. The reality is that we are self employed, we work super hard, pay enough taxes to own at least a 1/4th of the new 520 floating bridge over Lake Washington and we really need a new work vehicle. While we would appreciate and love gifts that one might give us (we'll love the heck out of whomever buys us that blender!), we would really benefit more from contributions to our vehicle fund.
Thea's little princess-fancy-rap star car just isn't cutting it.
The entire BronStarr fam will appreciate this. And yes, it would mean that Thea will drive a minivan after all. Pics will be posted.
Thank you all so much!
