<div>Help Jennifer and Clove Find a Safe <strong>Home</strong> on Wheels
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Five months ago, I reached out to my community with a dream: 
</div>
<div>to create a safe little home on wheels for myself and my beloved cat, Clove.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of your incredible and gracious generosity, that dream briefly became reality.  Together, we purchased a 1983 GMC motorhome and began the process of transforming it into a small sanctuary.  The potential was right there.  It was to be a place where we were able to rest, create art, and continue my work as a death worker and community listener.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I honor the tenderness that helped us get that far every morning.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The road decided to throw some unexpected turns, as it does.
</div>
<div>After a brief month of repairs, uncertainty, and doing my absolute very best to keep moving forward, the motorhome’s engine failed beyond repair.  We had to let it go.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, Clove and I are beginning again.  <strong>This is a story about a home.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently living between a small sedan and a tent while searching for a reliable vehicle that can become our safe, sturdy home.  It is a humbling and difficult chapter, but there is hope, gratitude, and the belief that community care can help us cross this extraordinary threshold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal is simple and achievable:
</div>
<div>Find and obtain a dependable vehicle where Clove and I can live safely, sleep securely, and <strong>rebuild</strong> stability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A safe, mobile, vehicle <strong>home</strong> allows me to continue my work through Under The Root by creating art, offering deathcare companionship, and documenting the ways humans care for one another through life's natural transitions.
</div>

</div>

<div>Clove has been my companion through every bit of these changes.  She has adapted like a superstar, through unfamiliar places, long days, and uncertain nights.  My dearest and deepest hope is to give her a place where she can stretch, sleep peacefully, and know that we have arrived somewhere safe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel called to contribute, share our story, pass along ideas or connections, and simply send encouragement, these acts of tenderness matter deeply.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who helped us during the first chapter.  You helped us believe that a more sturdy future was possible.  It is because of you that we are holding tight to the belief that it absolutely is possible.
