PLEASE MEET MICHELLE:
Nothing recreational about living homeless in a vehicle. Most are purchased for between $50 and $500, which should give a pretty good idea of the condition they are in.
To avoid harassment and to find a small bit of privacy, most cover the windows. When entering, it takes a moment to adjust to the dark, the corners coming into view slowly.
Michelle and Eric have been living in rundown RV's for years. The immediate question is why? Why live this way?
Why do any of us live the way we live?
The answer is the same for each and every one of us, from Michelle and Eric right up to those that build mansions and castles. We ALL want to make the best home possible for ourselves and our family.
We all want safety, we all want protection from the elements, we all want a place that is functional, comfortable, beautiful, and more. And we don't just want it, we want to then keep on improving it. We can know that for every person living in a vehicle, this is their current best available option for making a home.
Michelle and Eric have $276.00 of parking tickets that we hope to help pay off. I know it would bring them a great deal of peace of mind.
UPDATE: The Paypal link has been pulled in that the goal of raising $276 has been reached with $420.03 donated, wowWOW!!! A heartfelt thank you once again for meeting this need AND every need ever posted on this page. So much LOVE and support! All funds will go to paying the parking tickets. Whatever is left over will go to gas-cards for Eric and Michelle. No funds go directly to them and as is always the case, no funds go to Facing Homelessness. THANKS!!!
Michelle is in the hospital right now, her legs swollen to the point she can barely walk. She has been having heart problems for years, among a list of other medical issues. Please keep her and Eric in your thoughts.
