    Dear Vanessa, I was so moved by your testimony. I also reside in Houston, I am 63 years old with no place to call my own. I have worked very hard my entire life and am still working when I can. My dream has always been to find a place like yours to call home. I don't have much, but maybe one day I will come across an RV I can afford. I am so very proud of you and your accomplishments. Thank you so much for being a beacon. God Bless.

So, some of my spiritual family love me with God's love when some natural fam with man's love. That's when I love them from afar with a long handle spoon, and as the Bible says, dust your feet and go to the next town because they have the same God as I do, and that is written.

    My favorite part of your video was your openness about your struggles, your realness and your art work, very interesting. The entire video, your imagination of making something out of nothing and your ideas for storage were fascinating to me, I especially liked the baskets above the bed for clothing, great idea. You're an inspiration to many. And as a 56 year old man, I get you don't get many comments and likes from men, but I find you very much like someone I wish I were friends with and I don't say that lightly, I don't have many friends, now that I think about it I don't think I have any true friends, but like you mentioned, I don't mind being alone, it's a good thing, but my music gets me through the tough times and keeps me sane. So I'm good, I really did enjoy your video, Vanessa, you truly are a breath of fresh air.

    I really resonate with your story. I got my first rv through a trade, to get out of a bad relationship. I got a job at an RV park and a couple saw me and how hard I worked on my trailer that they blessed me by giving me a 32 foot rv. Then I was at another rv park and another couple felt the same way and gave me their 5th wheel when they bought a house. There are good people out here and these are the storys we need to push out into the world.
