Hey y’all ✌ 
Many of you know that I have Muscular Dystrophy and I’ve been living in my parents basement for the last few years. This has been a really challenging time for me lately because back in June, my disease went for my jugular and made two enormous progressions which rendered me unable to walk for more than a couple steps (with the use of braces and forearm crutches) and so basic things like showering, using the restroom, washing my hands, routine things that we all take for granted have become impossible for me some days because the basement I live in has no running water/sink/toilet/shower and is unfinished. I’ve been scrambling to meet my basic needs and so I’m extremely grateful to say that I’ve purchased a 5th wheel camper that is totally gutted (besides appliances) so that I can customize it to fit my disability and my needs. That being said, holy crap furniture is so expensive-accessible helpers such as railings and grab bars are even more expensive. As of right now, I have a 33ft vessel that I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am for, but it needs a few major things before I can call it my safe haven, my home. I’m needing a “short queen” mattress and maybe a couch and a table I can eat at and hopefully share a cup of coffee with some of you one day :) I’m extremely grateful to a local family who will be donating the things I need to build a ramp and little porch for Pierre and I to be able to sit on and watch the deer graze in the giant fields next door. As most of you know, I’ve been dreaming of a tiny house for a very long time now but unfortunately banks don’t like to lend money to folks who don’t make money lolI’m a simple person, I don’t need a lot. I try my best to live within or below my means so that I’m able to take all the love I’ve been shown and pay that forward which is exactly what I intend to do here as well. It kills me to ask you guys to donate your hard earned money so that I can live safely in an accessible place because I know that things are really hard for all of us right now but, well, I truly thought I had a bit more time before things got this bad and more time to save and plan but after being denied spots at assisted living facilities over and over and over again, I decided to hang on to that dream in my head and this perfect camper popped up for sale as I was bawling my eyes out in defeat as if fate was saying “here, go-get your independence back” and so that’s my goal. I haven’t had a true routine...routine being themost basic human need in years. My condition has just worsened and every day ismore and more challenging but having a safe and accessible home where I can notonly shower daily, have a restroom right near my bedroom, navigate with total ease, clean on my own, but guys I can COOK A MEAL in....this is a huge step forwardfor me in a direction I didn’t know I could still move in. I never thought this would be possible and I am now counting on the kindness of strangers, the ones I love andwho for some reason love me, and peopleI’ve befriended over the years to make  this camper-my home. If you have a couple dollars to spare to give me a hand up in life right now, I promise you, when I am settled, I will spend my days lifting others up with me and being the shoulders each of you can stand on-bet that. I will absolutely pay it forward in any and every way possible. I’ve put every single cent and ounce of myself into getting this structure, it’s been my dream....now I’m humbly asking if you’ll help me please make it home for me. Anything helps including links to any resources I may have missed. I have the land, the ramp, the construction crew for the ramp (thanks dad!) and the view...now I just need a little help from you. 

if you can’t donate, I just want to thank you for taking the time to read this and I want you to know how grateful I am for your friendship because without that, without the love and support you all show mein all the ways you already do, I wouldn’t need a home because I wouldn’t be here. Please don’t take your steps for granted or as something your watch makes you do...appreciate them. When they are gone and life turns into total uncertainty (not just through COVID but like forever) you will wish you’d have made them count, not made yourself count them. I love you allso much and I appreciate you so so so much  please share this with other beautiful humans. I’ll be posting progress reports. Thanks in advance guys. I love you all, stay well and be kind to one another ❤️ ✌
