This fundraiser is a collaboration by four people to raise money for a fifth wheel for four homeless young adults.
All of these ppl have clinical depression, PTSD, and generalized anxiety. And three out of four have survived suicide attempts. As did I.
They are extremely high risk. With our help getting off the streets as well as getting them off the street they will be able to continue therapy, have their meds, and continue school as well as having eachother and us as the strong support system they don't have.
This is meant to be a travel home moving from East Coast to West coast. Two of the Bostonians who helped organize this are out there already. Also homes in Boston and California starting are about 750k.The fifth wheel is about 60 and the alternative is a very large travel trailer for 38. These are homes on wheels. These are not pop up little campers. They're homes.
Trying to raise as much as we can by the end of the summer and then will be financing the rest ourselves.
So excited for this project and it's been in the works for over a year but sadly covid put it on hold.
Fifth wheel is a Jayco 377 RBH. I have experience with travel trailers. This is not my first time. Its the most realistic and affordable solution that cam keep them off the streets, in treatment, and heading toward a happy future.
We already lost one friend. Homelessness and depression go hand and hand. Usually accompanied by PTSD. I cant fix it all but I can certainly make a difference.
Thank you!
