The Francis Family Tiny House
Donation protected
We are a young family (Myself, hubby and two daughters 4yrs and 2yrs) about to create an out of the box solution to finding an affordable and sustainable way of entering the property market.
We would like to build a tiny house on a truck.
This will enable us to rent land and live in our tiny house saving money on rent further enabling us to save and purchase our own land. We then plan to stay in our tiny house while we build our own house over time and avoid overextending ourselves with a huge mortgage.
We estimate the tiny house will cost between $25 to 35K. We initially decided to use this platform to help kick start our journey to raise enough funds to purchase the truck ($4k to $6k), and some initial materials depending on truck cost to get started. We have bought the truck and have decided to continue using this platform as we found that there are some in the community that might like to help.
We don't expect a free handout and are willing to offer rewards in exchange for donations. Our lease is running out soon and were hoping to extend on a month by month basis until house is complete. We are eager to start saving money.
All donations will get a cuddle and or virtual positive vibes.
We can't offer a completion date right now have created a fb group showing the progress of our build. We also are fighting a blog through Spare Harvest .

Note: We originally created a fund me site through OzCrowd for the purchase of truck only. We had a limit of $6000 and raised $350 thanks to many generous supporters. We used this money to buy most of our windows. We decided to move the campaign here as to reach a wider audience and access better tools for relaying our message.
UPDATE: 18/11/16 We have bought a truck hooray! Thanks to all our supporters so far. We will leave this campaign open for anyone who wants to contribute (in return for a reward) towards the build. Alternatively, if you'd like to contribute towards the build in labour, materials etc. please message us.
UPDATE: 31/12/16 The truck is prepped and the Sketch Up Model is nearly complete and we should be able to start framing in January. We are looking for sponsors to help us complete the build and would be grateful for any help.
