I can tolerate winters out here, except for 1 or 2 weeks in December or January when it gets intolerably cold, like 10°F or lower, every year almost like clockwork for the last couple years. The last two I got to ride out indoors, in a motel room paid for by a friend. I don’t think I’ll be so lucky this year, and I am really fucking scared.

That’s option #1, and it will cost me somewhere between $900 and $1,200, assuming I’m booking a room for 2 weeks at the Motel 6 all the homeless people go to around here.

Option #2 is buying a van and winterizing it. I can get a decent one for $2,000 or less—I almost bought a really nice Jeep Grand Cherokee for $1,700 a couple months ago and I’m kicking myself still for not buying it. Living in a van or something has been my dream even before I became homeless. I fucked up what feels like the one chance I will ever have and I feel like I deserve a second chance.

Funds from this particular fundraising effort will go into my CashApp Savings and not be fucked with—if I have another need, I’ll make another post.

I’m setting the goal at $2,000. Here goes nothing.

DM me for my friend’s PayPal.

Please write “Motel/Van” or something that will indicate to me that it’s for this fundraising effort, so I don’t spend it on a bong or chocolate milk or something.

Also share if you can.
