Support Lauren's Journey to Restore Her Home
Donation protected
Hey Friends and Family!
Maka here.
I am starting this GoFundMe for my dear friend Lauren.
Her sweet little home on wheels, Bonnie Blue Bus, a 2002 Ford Econoline Skoolie, caught fire inside on July 8th in Ojai, CA. There is several thousand dollars worth of interior damage, including items lost. Thankfully, there was no damage to the driving functions of the bus.
Lauren is one of the kindest and gentlest people you'll ever meet.
A surfer, photographer, and all-around nature enthusiast, Lauren is a loyal friend. The last couple of years have been rough for her and she was just recently rising up from that and feeling good about the direction she is going in life, when her home, Bonnie Blue, caught fire.
In my own turbulent experience of completely losing my home to a fire, it was the community coming together to not only offer emotional support but also working to gather financial support using this very platform, that really got me and my family through such a tough time.
I know there's a lot going on in the world right now, and many places your time, energy, and money can go, but sometimes it's nice to give back to the people in your own backyard who are in need of a helping hand.
Any amount of donation is supportive, even $5! If you don't have money, but you've got time or resources to offer to the re-build Bonnie project, these would all be gratefully accepted as well.
All donations go directly to Lauren's expenses for rebuilding.
Thank you for taking time to read this. Please share with friends, family, and on your social media platforms.
Thanks again
Kindly,
Maka
