Support Kevin's Dream of Mountain Living

Hi, I’m Kevin. My dog, Muriel, and I are moving from Aiken, SC to Telluride, CO on May 4th. I have lined up work there and am taking the plunge and going.

This is a lifelong dream of mine—to live in the mountains of Colorado. I was close when I first moved to Lafayette, CO in October 2001. I absolutely loved it. Even though it wasn’t in the mountains, I took off on an adventure every chance I could. I had to move back to SC due to a home not selling. I tried again in 2021 and moved to Fort Collins. My wife lost her job, and we had to vacate our apartment due to rising rent. We lived in a tent for a little over 7 months.

Now, I find myself going through a divorce, 3 years sober from a chemical dependency on alcohol. I have decided that this is my path. I have turned over my life (everything!) to Jesus. I have never been so sure about anything before. I KNOW that God is calling me to be at home in the mountains. I don’t know for what reason, but until I find out, I am going to help as many people as I can in the same way so many others have helped me.

Financially, I am almost there. I have been working as an adoption and pet care specialist in a nonprofit animal shelter for a little over a year. Given the nature of my request, I feel that I should share that the job doesn’t pay very well, but the mission of the organization is something that I feel very strongly about. Therefore, we have endured over a year of sacrifices and means of survival. Staying disciplined to keep within the boundaries of a restricted budget has been very challenging with the price of everything already high and ever increasing. Help from other very kind people such as yourself is what has helped me thrive and grow in this very low valley of my life. My faith has never been stronger and I look forward to seeing how God will continue to work. For the last 3 1/2 months, we (Muriel and I) have been sleeping in my car in order to put money away for the move. I’ve also been working to convert my Jeep Renegade into a ‘tiny RV’ so I can continue to sleep in it for a while in Colorado as affordable housing right away won’t be an option. I am coming up short of my goals, so I am asking for your help. I will be happy to share more details of my story with you and how YOU can have a personal connection with Jesus that will absolutely transform your life here and afterwards. It’s a guarantee if you go ALL in. I will also be happy to keep you updated as I go along the adventure.

Thanks for your time and consideration in support of my dream! Any amount is greatly appreciated and if money is tight, as mentioned above, I completely understand. Either way, please pray for my next steps to be on the right path, following Jesus with all my heart. Also, please share with your people! Much love to you all.
