I am hoping to be able to get help to replace the home that I had up until just a few months ago. While most people think of RVs as a fun filled way to vacation. There are a lot of us that see them as our homes. I have been homeless for quite ages years and had finally been able to get an RV to live in. It wasn’t anything special to most people but to me, my RV was everything. I loved in it and used it as my vehicle to get around, make money, and help others out. It was amazing to finally have somewhere secure to keepy things and to be able to lay my head at night that wasn’t dirty or out in the elements. It had literally had everything anyone who had been homeless could ask for or want. A bedroom area, dining area, bathroom and small kitchen with a working shower, I had a working generator, hot water heater, a refrigerator that actually worked and ran on either on electric from the onboard generator or the propane that also ran the store and water heater, it even had an onboard solar panel invertor that helped to keep that vehicle batteries charged up, and it ran like a dream. Well almost, it worked well it started having some problems hat turned o to be nothing more than a clogged fuel line. I was learning to work on it and had been able to keep it up and running and as much as I cleaned it was probably the cleanest RV in all of Seattle. I was so proud of my home and excited because that weekend I was planning on going out to where my 2 son’s were living to visit them, something that I had been dreaming of being able to surprise them with. That is until the day it stalled out. I knew that he stalled engine was a result of a fuel filter that needed to be replaced, which is what I was on my way to do that afternoon.
Unfortunately, I was alone when it happened but was fortunately able to coast of the road into an ally where it should have e been safe long enough for me run for help. So I made sure that it wouldn’t block anything and posted very clearly on the back, front, and side door that it was my home and hat i had stalled out, and to please not tow me as I was running to get help and at it was literally home and the only place I had to live. Which is what Seattle had said was what we needed to do as it is supposedly illegal to tow or homes without evicting us first. On top of that to be towed in Seattle, unless there is an emergency, you had at least 72 hours from the time that you are first reported and flagged, then tagged. This gives the vehicle notice that you you have 72, then 48, and finally 24 hours to move it or risk being towed. I should have been ok if it were not for our very favorite tow company here in Seattle, the one and only company famous for stealing homes from the homeless as often as possible every other day, non other than Lincoln Towingp.
Now it was bad enough that they towed me but to add insult to injury that happened to be the day before the start of the worst cold snap Seattle had seen in years if not ever. And there I was, with nowhere to go and without any of my clothes, coats, blankets, or any of my cold weather supplies. But a least I knew I had 30 days to get either a judge to tell them to give it back or pay the tow bill to get it back before they were allowed to either sell or auction it off to the highest bidder. Or so I thought. But of course, in good ol Lincoln towing fashion, they just couldn’t wait to make a buck and of course they decided to go ahead and sell it to someone not only after just 2 weeks, but just as m luck would have it, only 2 hours before I had been able to finally arrange for a ride out to the tow yard to collect my home and all my belongings. I admit it did take me 2 weeks to be able to get a ride out to the tow yard, which was longer than it would’ve to get back to where it originally had been parked at. But even still, it was well before the 30 day mark that I legally should have had to retrieve my home as states in the RCWs that we have here in Seattle. Needless to say it pretty well ruined me to loose everything I owned.
Since then I have been trying to figure out a way to either find a RV to replace my home or to at least come up with enough money to be able get one that just need to be fixed it up and worked on to get back to running and livable condition. So that I have somewhere to live and have my kids visit me in. Recently I started seeing an old friend and have moved in with him into his RV. But unfortunately it is not in the greatest condition and has no electricity or running water. We were using a generator, but as of last night someone decided to cut the extension cord we used to run power from it to the RV. So now unless we get a new cord and have the generator up and running we have no lights or heat.
So now I find my self here asking for help to hopefully be able to raise enough to purchase one or the other for us. This time of year there are a lot of RVs that are clearenced and used ones are priced so low they would be affordable if we just have the funds. So we’re trying to raise $90, 000 enough for the price plus any tax title and license that weight have to pay for and anything that we might have to work on once purchased. I have sr up a link that I am including in this post for you or anyone you know that would be able willing and able to to help raise the funds needed to get us a new home. God Bless
