From Shelter to RV: Support Our Journey

Help Us Build a Stable Home: From Shelter to RV

Hi everyone,

We're Aaron, my wife Billie and my sister Alicia, and we're reaching out today with a hopeful heart. Right now, we're living in a homeless shelter in Cedar City, Utah, but we have a real chance to transition into a stable and independent living situation – a camp trailer that could become our home. We just need a little help getting there.

Both my sister and I live with disabilities. I'm also awaiting a complete hip replacement surgery, which makes getting around incredibly difficult. I'm in the process of applying for SSDI, but that financial support isn't here yet, and we need to get ourselves situated. The good news is, even with my physical limitations, I'm fully capable of doing the repairs needed on the trailer, saving greatly on labor costs, but what we can't afford are the materials and the essential costs of moving.

We've secured a camp trailer, which is a huge step for us! But it needs some vital repairs to be safe and livable. We're talking about things like some minor structural, AC, plumbing and electrical repairs as well as weatherization. Beyond the repairs, there are also costs associated with moving into an RV park, such as lot fees, utility hookups, and essential supplies to make it a true home. These are expenses we simply can't cover on our own right now.

Our biggest wish is to create a secure, accessible, and comfortable home where we can manage our health challenges with dignity and independence, away from the shelter system. With a stable place to live, we can truly focus on our well-being and eventually contribute more fully to our community.

Here's how your support will directly help us:

Repair Materials: Funds for essential materials to make the camp trailer safe and habitable.

RV Park Fees: Covering the initial costs of lot rent, utility hookups, and deposits.

Essential Supplies: Helping us get basic necessities to make the RV a functioning home (e.g., small appliances, bedding, kitchen basics).

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to having a safe roof over our heads and a place to truly call our own. If you're unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Your support, in any form, means the absolute world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping us on this journey.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Aaron, Billie and Allicia
