Alex and Allie RV Crash Relief
Donation protected
Hi friends, we're in need of a little Christmas magic this season.
Meet Alex and Allie, my brother and his wonderful girlfriend.
They're adventurers- they take jobs for the season like white water rafting guides in North Carolina and Camp Counselors in Wisconsin. This winter, their plan was to travel cross-country to Mammoth Lakes in California to be ski instructors!
In order to make this dream possible, Alex drove cross country to New Mexico to get a run-down camper to convert into a home they could live in! The plan was to take this camper and renovate it in Virginia in time to drive out to California. Cue two months of hard work (and most of their savings) and they did it!
Here's a quick peek at what they were able to do with it:
Home sweet home.
This is where the story gets not-so-feel-good. An hour outside of Mammoth, the RV's breaks completely gave out. Going entirely downhill, Alex was able to keep the RV (while towing Allie's car on a trailer) on the road for about 4 miles. Eventually, gaining speeds up to 65 MPH, Alex lost control and the RV and trailer flipped. Miraculously, Alex, Allie, and their dog Rhea all managed to climb out of the RV completely unharmed. The RV, however, was not so lucky. Everything was completely totaled.
To make matters worse, we found out today that Alex's insurance won't cover anything for the crash- not even the tow job to get the RV out of the desert.
We need your help. We're asking our families and friends to donate funds to help get Alex and Allie back on their feet.
We've broken it down and just to get home will cost $5,000. The cost they put into the RV was just over $13,000. They will never get tis money back. Luckily, Allie's car was covered (small mercies).
We're hoping to raise $20,000 to cover getting them home and giving them a chance to continue living their dream. With this money they would be able to buy another camper they could renovate and make up for a bit of what they will lose from what they expected to earn this winter.
Please, share this with your friends and thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,
Alex and Allie and their families
