    6 months I will be living full time in a car,I’ve lived previously 2 years.
    But never knew about stealth,reflective windows, cooling mats,rain guards.
    I watch it all now and learned so much.
    I refuse to pay rent and I’m a senior on SS.
    This woman really touched my heart ❤️.
    Wish I could find her and maybe we could share a house or place together.
    She’s a good person.💙

    She’s very creative. She’s got some good ideas with how she rigged up things here & there through out her van, especially the cover over the window switch to protect the cats. 🐈 She definitely should start a UA-cam channel.

    Wonderful job! I more impress with these types, people making do with what little they have they are true survivors. I'm not trying to put anyone down but when you have a setup with hot running water, full cooking stove, shower and money well thats not impressive. This is all she has plus her beautiful little kitties. I really admire her I hope that whatever her ailments are she recovers 💯Thanks for the lovely interview.

    Your kitties look like healthy, beautiful, loved, and pampered Cats. I live in an 1100 SF home with 3 cats, I can't imagine living in a van with them!! Between the litter boxes and the dander? Umpfh 🤪 But if I lived in a van and had three cats, there is no way I'd give them up. I'd make it work. Special cat litter and an air purifier! Not only do I love them, but they also love me and would be brokenhearted if I ever gave up on them. So I get it. You have a great setup 🥰

You have a positive attitude and I think you will succeed in the jewelry making. I hope you do make a You tube channel.

    It's your positivity and energy in what is a tough situation that sets you apart from so many people. I don't even know you and I am proud of you! I am close to your age and have so much in common with you it is startling. I have been so thankful to even have a car to live in at times, or even a pillow in my car to lay my head on! I would genuinely love to meet you! I am a loner for the most part but rarely feel alone. In any case this is not about me it is about amazing you! I love what you have done to your van as well. That floor is a stroke of genius as it works to keep you from having flare ups. Just simple things that improve the quality of life. I am in California. It is a great big state but I am coastal as well. If you are ever so inclined to meet, respond! Peace and many blessings!

I've got to show my husband this ,we were thinking we can't keep our 2 ,2year old cats when we go full time.they have been traveling with us since they were 3months old. So this video has given me so many ideas. Our van is a full size with high turtle top. Thank you again for sharing. Be safe.

    Awww sweet lady!!! I wish I had the money to help her have more room & a plot of land of her own for her tiny house. If she had an investor the thing she made to keep the cats from pressing the door switches seems like it would be a great idea to perfect for selling & could possible turn things around financially for her. All I've wanted since I was 4 was homestead remote acreage so I could offer shelter & a safe place to land for goodhearted ppl w/o a home. Seeing this stokes that lifelong desire! I wish her the best & please update if she someone gets a GoFundMe or something for her that wont affect the little social security she does get. .Not once did she even ask for funds, but I know so many of us viewers from our hearts would gladly give whatever we could!

    And I've a little hack for your icebox, you'll be able to keep the ice on top of certain things (will keep everything colder) and stop every thing from getting wet, and will be clean when melted so you and the kitties can use it for drinking water.
    Put ice in heavy duty 1 gal ziploc bags, and arrange them on top of your items that need to stay the coldest, like meat n cheese, leftovers and put things like vegetables and some condiments on top of ice bags.
    Hope you both have a wonderful weekend!

    I have been curious since watching these no build mini van conversions about leaving pets in the car. How do you keep the inside of the car cool enough for them to stay safe? I've been trying to find cooling solutions but nothing has come up in my research as being very efficient for that task. I'd be so worried just leaving the windows cracked and fans going that someone would break in.

    What I wonder about people living in vans with animals is what do they do with the animals when they have to go somewhere, especially in the warmer months?

    • @Sarah1920s
      @Sarah1920s 2 роки тому

      Stay parked under trees, or under some kind of shade, stay in car or van until it's really cooler like in the early am or night. Do all errands that involve leaving the car when it's night etc. Stay with animals and under shade when it's warmer and keep fans on if possible. Some fans are USB and can run off chargers. Also I live in Colorado, so if we had to do this here it would be ok till winter time but then we would have to be careful and really think things through bcuz of the cold fall and winter.

I am praying for a large mini van so that if anything ever happens that I could at least survive. I have a senior cat too. He would be with me. I would never give up my cat. Ever, no matter what would happen in life. With God and prayers you can do anything. It just takes time and prayers. Plz pray for me if you read this. I have so many problems. TY 💟
