<div> Help Me Save My Bus Home After Engine Fire Damage

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, my name is Matt, some of you may know me as Graee, or Grey. I’m asking for help during the hardest chapter of my life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Earlier this year, I lost my housing and was forced to rethink everything. I invested what little I had into an old school bus — a 1990 International 3800 — and began the slow, difficult process of restoring it and turning it into a place I could live in safely and independently.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve poured over $5,000 into this so far — everything from interior work to engine maintenance. It hasn’t been easy, but the progress has kept me going.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But now, just as I was finally getting it road-ready, disaster hit.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> What went wrong:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While the bus was parked under trees, dry leaves gathered in the engine bay without me realizing it. When I started the engine, those leaves caught fire from the heat. The fire wasn’t massive, but it was enough to melt the fuel return lines — and now the bus is leaking fuel and won’t run.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This isn’t just a repair. It’s a full stop — and I don’t have the funds or time to deal with it alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>⏳ Why this is urgent:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The bus is parked on a friend’s rural property, but due to changes in their situation, they’ve asked me to move it. I now have 3 days to either get it running or get it off the land, or I risk losing everything I’ve put into this.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, I’m completely broke. I don’t have enough to pay a mobile mechanic, replace the parts, or cover towing costs. I’ve hit a breaking point and I’m out of options.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your donation will help cover:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Emergency mobile mechanic visit

</li>

<li>Replacement fuel return lines and fittings

</li>

<li>Fuel-safe cleanup &amp; safety equipment

</li>

<li>Possible towing to a safer location

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My goal is $800 to cover the bare minimum and keep this project from ending before it’s even begun.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Why this matters:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This bus isn’t just a vehicle. It’s my home, my future, and my best shot at stability. I’ve put my heart, sweat, and every dollar I had into it — and I’m asking for help only because I’ve hit a wall I can’t climb alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re able to give, thank you. If you can share this with someone who might understand — thank you even more.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar counts. Every share helps. This bus is my home.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>— Matt

</div>
