I wanted to share another important update and some genuinely good news.
Our moving sale was a success, and we were able to raise the money needed to title, license, and insure the 1983 GMC motorhome. I will be filling out the paperwork and handing over the monies this upcoming week, and it feels like another huge step toward making this motorhome a real, functional home for me and Clove. Phew.
A Huge Relief After a Stressful Stretch
There have been a lot of moving parts throughout this journey, and every step forward has taken planning, patience, and support from others. We are now able to cover these immediate legal and insurance requirements. It takes a major weight off my shoulders. It means we can continue moving forward responsibly and legally while focusing on the larger repairs and updates still ahead.
Why This Step Matters
The motorhome will be titled, licensed, and insured in a couple days. It is not the most glamorous of steps, however, the legality sets in motion a piece of the puzzle that transforms this process. It makes the responsibility more palpable, and the realization of obtaining the documents is potent for this story’s continuation. Each step, such as this, lends a hand in the materialization of security and stability for Clove and myself.
Where We Are Now
We have currently raised $1,417 toward our first milestone goal of $7,500, and I remain deeply grateful for every donation, share, and kind message along the way. We hear you loud and clear.
Here is what is on deck for what immediately lies ahead:
Moving truck and storage unit rental
Mechanical, structural, and safety integrity of the vehicle
Necessary labor and time for interior improvements towards full time living
Thank You for Supporting This Journey
To everyone who has donated, shared the fundraiser, encouraged me, listened while I scrambled in the dark, or followed along here on the journal, you are beautiful, thank you.
The support I continue to feel means a lot. It has helped turn an overwhelming situation into something that is becoming exactly what is meant to happen. We may still have a long road ahead, but we are together and keeping one foot in front of the other.
WE ARE ON OUR WAY THERE.
