Motorhome for Full-Time Living

Donation protected
I'm Traci and I design jewelry and keychains that feature RV charms, such as motorhome charms and travel trailer charms / Airstream charms, as well as boho jewerly. Founded in 2015 and currently headquartered in Orlando, Florida, RV Gems is a "motionless" home business that sells primarily online. If all goes as planned, my family will become full-time RVers within the next few years, at which time I’ll take my business on-the-road and sell in-person as well as online.  

I worked in office administration for over 17 years, until the onset of Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Depression and other related health conditions. It was a challenge to supplement my family’s income without exacerbating the symptoms. I tried working part-time in administration and establishing and running a professional resume writing business, among other attempts. After many moments of extreme frustration and pain, and finally acceptance (God grant me the serenity!), I decided to try my hand at jewelry making and LOVED it. Not only do I enjoy jewelry design, the flexible schedule and low volume of work allow me to rest when needed.  

The open-road has called my name ever since my family moved from Florida to California when I was twelve years old. We visited all of the major attractions along the way; Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, The Alamo, etc. Some of my happiest childhood memories were made during that trip. Years later, when my son was 10 years old, we rented a motorhome for a camping trip and I fell in love. Full-time RV living has been a goal of mine for many years!  

It will take me quite some time to payoff the start-up costs for RV Gems and my overall income is minimal. If you enjoy my posts on social media and aren't interested in purchasing my jewelry, or you would just like to help in general, I'd very much appreciate a small donation towards the cost of my future motorhome.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to read my story and consider a donation!
