Homeless to Home Lets Help Frankie Continue Helping Himself

Donation protected
UPDATE MONDAY
PLEASE HELP US HELP FRANKIE AND MAMAS THE DOG.
THEY ARE ONLY 2 DAYS AND 23 MILES AWAY FROM HAVING A HOME, AFTER BEING HOMELESS OVER 3 YEARS.
I'm writing because I don't know where to go for help me and my husband have been helping a man named Frankie who's been homeless for over 3 years. In last two years that we've known him he's become like family. He's worked so hard to do what he's supposed to and we've helped him as much as we can. Yesterday May 24th I got an amazing surprise blessing from a neighbor of mine who's had a motorhome sitting for awhile on his property. many people have asked to buy it or haul it for free etc., but he always said no. Out of the blue something told me to write him a note about Frankie's story and leave it on the rv for when he visited from Canada. maybe he would be willing to sell it cheap or something. But instead he showed up at my house out of the blue and donated it to us for Frankie. ONLY CAVEOT we must move it.
It needs at least 4 better used tires 6 would give him spares or a lowboy trailer to get his new home moved. most tow companies don't even have a low boy and ig they do places are quoting us $1,500 and up as its only going 7 miles on highway but the rest is a dirt county road. We don't have that kind of money to help him. I took to Facebook hoping someone could donate their time and truck to help us but a class A motorhome diesel pusher is a kind of crappy job that needs all the right time and expertise. So i made posts answered comments, emails, messages. got great info and people who want to help all day yesterday. today im focused on the tire situation. Donated tires. borrowed tires anything WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT ASKIING FOR LAST MINUTE TOW MONEY BUT HERE WE ARE WE ARE ONLY 3 DAYS AND 23 MILES and now 4 tires and tow money till Frankie and Mamas have a home. I've called so many people in tears I don't know what to do everybody complains that homeless people need to do something and my best friend has been doing everything to not ever beg with a sign for money, worked laborious jobs, getting his old documents and things in order to be off the streets with our help. In 2 years he's like family now, we trust him with out family's life, our kids think of him as a uncle, he's watched our home, stayed in our home to dog sit, drove our vehicles, done so much work for us and just been there as a awesome friend. but saving money when your just surviving everyday is hard. we cant take him in as we live in a 5th wheel ourselves. by chance I met a 70 year old man who lived on property in my town that was over run with stuff I told him about Frankie and he invited him to come stay in a very run down creepy trailer in exchange for doing work and what ever he could make money wise from the property, the old man just wants it clear. So Frankie moved from his tent home a hour away and has been working so so hard staying on this gentleman's property. So here I am asking for the community to please help me get this home to him and he can finally have a permeant little slice of land and a home for him and Mamas to call there very own. The RV ran and drove around the block 5 years ago it's actually in really good condition the tires look great except for some cracks on the outside but you can't see any cables or wires or anything through the tires the other tires on the other side look pretty good too it was covered until recently the insides immaculate the engine starter clicks and the wheels turn like a quarter but they think there's a ground short somewhere and it has to be out of here no later than Thursday afternoon or the owner is demolishing it. I would hate to see such a beautiful home for deserving person go to waste. The wires surprisingly look pretty good except that short issue another issue batteries are all dead and we used all the power on the jump box to see if it get power etc. So we are charging everything and after that i don't know we are still stuck for now.
UPDATE IT LOOKS LIKE TIRES MAY BE THE MAIN THING WE NEED TO FOCUS ON IM GOING TO GET THE SIZE, LUG INFO ETC AND SEE IF WE CAN GET TIRE DONATIONS OR LOAN TIRES OR BUY USED AND HAVE THEM MOUNTED TO THE RIMS IF WE NEED THEM. I'm working with local people to help and have a few people coming to see what needs to be done. but we cant afford tires and a tow if donations don't come in. This is our last hail Mary that in the event we are down to the last hour and still have not got this rig moved we will need to call a specialty truck called a lowboy to come get it. If we can get 4 better tires other tow trucks can come but we need to get them paid. so we are asking for enough to fix the tires at the least and last minute tow and or tires etc at the most. thank you all so much. any left over money will be used to get anything else needed. thank you again Cristen.
