ISO Free RV

The photo is a “vision board” photo Hi Neighbors! I have just the most wild ask: I am a single Mama (sorry, no pics of my kiddo on a public site). I’m living with Sjögren’s Disease and suffering from recurring bouts of Epstein-Barr reactivation post-COVID. For years I had been successfully coping with Sjögren’s Disease, an autoimmune disease which causes chronic pain, profound exhaustion and other internal difficulties including multiple systems organ damage. I owned and operated a house cleaning business for four years while moonlighting at a tea bar. I loved being able to clean folk’s homes like I would want mine cleaned and providing no-alcoholic, nutrient rich teas to my community. But because of Sjögren’s and EBV, I’ve had to close my cleaning business and quit my second job. I applied for disability but, needing to keep myself and my daughter housed, I took a loan after more than eight months of enduring poverty and insecurity during the application process. I was denied because I had too much money in the bank for about a day before paying rent. What I need now is an RV or motorhome that is mold and chemical free that is in good enough shape for me and my daughter to live in. It needs to drive well so that I can pick it up easily and drive it to a place (yet to be found) where I can park it. In the summers, the plan is to drive it to Yosemite and have private housing while I work at a very low energy job that I already have lined up. I need I need the home on wheels as a gift from the heart (I know, a wild and hopeful ask). From experience, I have found that newer ones are accepted in RV parks and not as irritating to neighbors because of the aesthetic. But I will take what I can get, even if it looks hard ridden. As an aside, I am also searching for a person who is well versed in career counseling for disable folks. I would like to end this cycle of instability for myself and my daughter and do what work I am physically able to. I would love to one day have a two bedroom home with a little cottage garden to give my daughter the childhood she deserves. I have included my backstory below but I thought I might spare anyone who is not led to read it the trouble and list my immediate need: My backstory: For the last 9 years, I have been able to provide a two bedroom living space for my daughter and I through my tireless work at my house cleaning business. By scheduling work for the 3.5 days while she was at her father’s, I could be with my daughter the entire time she was with me. This included whole weekends+ two school days four or the first four years of her life. From birth until 3 years I was with her 20/7. I had to fight tooth and nail to argue her dad down to taking one day with her so I could rest the part of one day she wasn’t nursing. Full time mothering without her father’s parenting support made it impossible for me to have a job while he and I were together. He was financially abusive and psychologically manipulative while were were married. I believed him when he said he would have to sell our house to pay child support. I would not remove that stability of the home my daughter was born in from her so I did not receive child support or transitional support (alimony). My daughter’s father has never paid child or transitional support since we separated and divorced. It’s not appropriate or safe to give more details but I am so thankful that my therapist helped me recognize how controlled I was and gave me the information I and help I needed to leave. When we separated, I had only enough to rent a room for us to share and took jobs unworthy of my skills out of the immediacy of need to leave the abusive situation. It has been four years since we divorced but I have not yet been able to dig out of the desperate financial situation precipitated by my poor choice of partner and autoimmune condition.
