Help Shawn and Tator Tot Build a Home on Wheels
Introduction:
Hi, my name is Shawn, and I’m currently unhoused, doing my best to get by while staying strong in my faith and holding onto hope. I’m raising funds to buy and convert a van into a safe, mobile home for me and my beloved cat, Tator Tot. With your support, we can turn a dream into reality—one filled with hope, purpose, and the open road.
My Story:
Right now, I sleep outside. It’s a daily challenge, facing weather, uncertainty, and the deep loneliness that comes with having no place to call home. But through all the hardship, I haven’t lost my faith in God. That faith gives me the strength to keep going—one day at a time.
I’m not alone in this journey. My cat, Tator Tot, is my constant companion. She’s more than just a pet—she’s my family, my comfort, and my reason to smile, even on the hardest days. She reminds me that love and loyalty exist in the smallest, furriest packages.
My dream is to own a van that I can convert into a cozy, studio-style apartment on wheels. With that van, I won’t just have a place to sleep—I’ll have freedom, safety, and the ability to rebuild my life. I want to travel across the United States, sharing my story and spreading light wherever I go. I believe that joy, compassion, and hope are meant to be shared—and I hope my journey can inspire others who may be struggling to keep going.
How You Can Help:
Your donation will help cover:
The purchase of a reliable van
Conversion materials (insulation, bedding, basic kitchen setup)
Safety supplies for me and Tator Tot
Initial travel and maintenance expenses
Every dollar brings us closer to a stable, hopeful future. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page means the world to me. Thank you for reading my story and being part of our journey.
With gratitude and hope, God bless,
Shawn & Tator Tot.
