Hi everyone, my name is Voksy and I’ve recently bought a bus that I’m turning into my forever home ♥️

I live with CPTSD from experiencing sexual assault by my partner a week after my dad died in 2015 and was further traumatised by the support given to my abuser instead of the victim. Two succeeding relationships also lied about having nothing to do with the community associated with the one who raped me. As a result of this I am now on disability support pension and NDIS

After experiencing homelessness I had the incredible generosity of family, friends and strangers to buy a caravan which gave me the security to live a peaceful life knowing I could always break away from the world and be where I needed to be.

Unfortunately, caravans are not built very well and we had to rebuild the entire rear skeleton where water ingress had turned the wood into mush.

On 8 September 2026 I received a payment from financial assistance scheme / victims of crime that afforded me the money to finally buy a bus and begin that incredible new chapter in my life. It didn’t take long before the money from FAS ran out and the Afterpay account started taking a hit.

So far of major purchases:

$19,454 spent so far excl. some things and I am expecting to have to spend maybe an additional $25,000 but I will be drafting up exact costs in time.

This project will take me a long time to complete as I suffer from chronic fatigue, but I have help from some incredible people and I have no choice but to devote my entire energy into turning Camille into my home on wheels.

So far we already have a bed, the walls and ceiling will need to be removed so more of the bus frame can be treated for rust prevention, at some point windows will need to be removed and resealed with some being removed entirely and replaced with sheet metal.
