Stone and Bruno van aid
Donation protected
Hello and hope you’re having a great day. I usually don’t like asking for financial help like this, especially when the world is in such disarray, but under the circumstances, I’m asking for help from friends and strangers who have financial space to help me without issue. My name is Stone Spencer MacDonald and I live in my van with my 4-year-old service dog. I started living in my car due to financial and mental health reasons. Bipolar has made holding jobs and relationships really hard for me long term, making a van a safe option for me, who might not always have a stable income or place to stay. It’s a fun life that gives me purpose, gets me to work and the outdoors, and especially keeps me from living in a hospital.
Because of how things have lined up, I’ve gone from having the most money I’ve ever had in my bank account to $0 in only 1 month being back in the United States, and I need engine work. Paying for healthcare, my dog, and van has become too expensive, and I can’t live off of fish here like I do in other places (or if someone wants to buy me a wetsuit so I can spear some dinner, that would be great). Long story short, my dog Bruno and I are staying at a friend's house, working oddball jobs till I can make enough money to fix my engine. Anything helps. This is my house you’re helping pay for; thank you so much. Forever grateful. Everything else in my life is going great; I just need to get my home back, and this helps. Thank you.
