Hi everyone,
My name is Adora, and I'm reaching out with a hopeful heart and big dreams for a new chapter in life: hitting the road and embracing the freedom of vanlife. I recently took a leap of faith and purchased a 1993 Ford Econoline 150—a sturdy old soul with plenty of stories to tell and many more adventures ahead.
I’ve already poured over **$6,000** of my own savings into bringing this van back to life—tackling engine repairs, replacing tires, updating the interior, and starting on insulation and basic structure. Every dollar has been a labor of love, scraped together through long hours and side gigs, with the vision of creating a safe, cozy, and functional home on wheels.
But as anyone who’s taken on a renovation project knows, things add up quickly. I’m now at a crossroads where the dream is real, but I can’t finish it alone. That’s why I’m turning to my community for help.
Your support would go directly toward:
- Electrical setup (solar panels, battery system)
- Plumbing for a small sink and water system
- Safe insulation and wall paneling
- Bed platform and basic furniture
- Final mechanical checks and road safety gear
Vanlife isn't just a trendy idea to me—it's a chance to build a life full of intention, simplicity, and connection. I dream of waking up by the ocean, journaling under the stars, and meeting kind souls across the country. I hope to share the journey, the beauty, and the challenges with those who support me—because it’s not just *my* van, it’s *our* adventure.
Even if you can’t donate, sharing this means the world. Every little bit helps get me closer to the road and this beautiful vision of freedom and self-reliance.
Thank you for reading, for believing, and for helping me drive this dream home.
With gratitude,
Adora
