Goal: Bus = long term housing

Who am I?

My name is Bailey, im a survivor of many things but have remined a positive, kind and have a heart still after all the the things and chosing not to "sob" story but just ask for help becuse im a person in need of help regardless of my sad story.

I love animals and tending to them and have enjoyed so much of the farm experiences iv gotten over the years.

Im a quiet mostly keep to my self.

Love being out in nature.

I go for everything I want in life because we never know when it's out last day.

I strive to have a homestead where I can help kids heal.

Iv put alot of healthy work in.

Im 3.5 years sober after holding 9 years, I broke losing my heart dog and cutting the finle ties to my family.

Im in Beautiful British Colombia Canada.

I curently am traveling (have to move every 2 weeks) with my dogs and cats camping until im able to secure us a bus!

Why help?

It helps the animals as well as as myself.

Not once has it ever crossed my mind to re home anyone becuse things got hard.

I made it work and worked harder and though outside the box and adpted.

I made the sacrifices that people say they would but never do.

I changed my life to better accommodate my animals and in doing so drasticy changed my mental health for the better, who knew nature heals..

Everyone is fixed, we dont make babies.

Im always complimented on their behavior, training, and shape they are in!

Why do I need help?

Im tired.

I have spent the last year with unstable housing and with that ment basically just off grid camping long term with the odd temporary upgrade. The dogs have LOVED it having so many epic back yards full of adventures, one even had water falls.

How did I end up "homeless"? I stood up for myself and changed a power dynamic (Im not done fighting this so cant get into details but im so proud i didnt and wont back down) by standing up i kicked the hornets nest and my safey became a question and i found that last check that you lose everything so I packed up the essentials put everything in storage and started camping until I could feel safe and get back on my feet. It has been so emotionaly, physically and financially draining. It has been that year that every time I saved enough to get a bus something unexpected would happen and id be back to having a home just being a dream.

But with all the hard times I have meet some absolutely beautiful kind souls that I would have felt lost and un seen without.

I ended up having to move 10hrs away from everyone i knew to re set my nervous system after the stress of everything that happened in the beginning of the year. Things were going good i was once again so close to getting a home then my vehicle died for good and had to replace it and I had hell months of freak emergency vet bills, we even lost a eye, then came the repair bills for the new to me vehicle so once again good bye home sweet home on wheels....

Then the cold came and had to make another big move because I couldn't meet my housing goals for that climate.

In all this chaos I have managed to keep my sobriety and remain kind and positive and I fully contribute that to my animals giving me a reason to keep fighting. Im honestly terrified of what would happen with out them.

Im asking for help to get a bus so I can convert into a simple off grid capable tiny home on wheels over the next year or so, and to never have housing be a question again for years. I feel a bus will have the space i need and have the ability to hual my truck and because I'll be building it from the bottom up i will be able to insure there will never be a mold issue. And most important to me the windows! This girl loves her plants and the cats love their views! Im so excited for a wood stove, proper bed and a kitchen, having a fridge and freezer again feels like a luxury.

I'll be able to rent land again having a proper set up!

I didn't give up when things got hard.

I understood the commitment I made in adopting each one of them and dont take that lightly.

Im tired of surviving life and truly want to start triving again and stable housing is a barrier i need removed.

Im actually working on bettering my self and see 3 different councilors, one of them is actually why im making this post for help she helped me see asking for help isn't weakness or make me a bad person just means I need help.

I have a long term goals that will be much more achievable with stable housing.

Helping me insures my animals get to keep living their best life's.

Helps there be one less person fighting in a housing crisis in BC

Is the gift that transfers to others with the volunteering and give backs i do.

NO MATTER what in the end I'll get there on my own if I have to im determine to sussceed but would love help getting sooner, this was alot easier when it wasn't dark at 5pm

Thank you for taking the time to read, and Thank you for any donations made every bit helps me get closer to my home on wheels and triving once again!

Much love, Bailey and the Gremlin Pack
