Help Ollie rebuild his campervan after arson attack

Help Me Rebuild My Home on Wheels

On the night of October 3, 2024, at around 2 AM, my beloved campervan was set on fire in an act of arson. Luckily, due to the colder weather that night, I had chosen to sleep in the house instead of the van, so my dog and I were unharmed. I’ll never forget waking up to the sound of my mum screaming, “Ollie, wake up! Your campervan is on fire!” I rushed outside in my Crocs and pyjamas, heart pounding, only to see my van engulfed in flames. My heart sank as I watched everything I had worked so hard for go up in smoke.

I tried to fight the fire with my dad, but the flames were too strong. Thankfully, the fire brigade arrived and managed to prevent the fire from spreading further, but the damage was already done.

I poured my heart, time, and savings into converting my Volkswagen Crafter into my home. It wasn’t just a van—it was my space to live and explore the world. I traveled all over Europe in it, experiencing incredible sights, meeting wonderful people, and making lifelong memories. But now, all that effort and joy has been reduced to ashes.

Losing my campervan like this is heart-wrenching. It wasn’t just a vehicle; it was my sanctuary, my freedom, and my home. I am devastated, but I’m reaching out to the community for help.

Any support you can provide—whether it’s a donation or just sharing my story—would mean the world to me. My goal is to rebuild, get back on the road, and reclaim the freedom that my campervan gave me. I deeply appreciate any help you can offer in this difficult time.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity.

Ollie
