Hi, my name is Jo and this is my van Cassie, that I've spend the last 8 months converting myself, with the dream of driving her around the world. I live in her fulltime by myself back in the UK. I've taken her to several mechanics over the last few weeks, doing everything I possibly can, I've spent £1000s in repairs, and through a series of unfortunate events, bad mechanical work, lies and delays, she is still broken.

I'm now stranded in Germany and have been told she needs a whole new engine (€4000) and now, a new clutch (€1200). Whilst I always try to make sure I have savings to fall back on, this is huge, and will completely break me.

For anyone that has offered to help, thank you, insanely. I am speechless by the kindness of strangers.

And my promise to you is that in the future when I earn this back, anything that is donated here, will be donated to an animal charity, so we can keep paying the kindness forward.
