So, I’ve launched a GoFundMe to fix up this old mini school bus that’s just sitting in my yard.

This mini school bus was purchased to convert into an RV years ago, but that never came to pass, and it’s been sitting useless for years. But, with a little love, it could be restored as an excellent donation collections and deliveries vehicle to help support Beloved Asheville’s and other local nonprofits’ needs. I will volunteer one day a week if we can raise the funds together to get this bus running and doing good for our community.

We have a long, hard road to recovery ahead with predictions stating 8-10 years and $52 billion. Together, we can help recovery efforts in this small way. Thank you for your continued support as we navigate these incredibly difficult times.
