Help a Disabled Veteran with Parkinson's

Donation protected

Meet Susie and Jay, the Wanderers on Wheels!
Hello, wonderful people! We are Susie and Jay, a loving couple with a passion for adventure and a heart full of wanderlust. In July 2023, we made a bold decision: we sold our house and everything we owned to hit the road and explore the breathtaking beauty of America. Our journey is not just about seeing new places; it's about living life to the fullest and making every moment count. We are sharing our journey and stories through our website and social media, bringing you along on our grand adventure.


Why We Need Your Help
Jay is a disabled veteran who served our country with honor, and he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Our adventures mean the world to us—they keep us moving, smiling, and living life to the fullest while we still can. We workamp and volunteer at state parks, giving back to the communities we visit and immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of these places.

However, our current truck, a 2014 F350 6.2L Super Duty, is starting to show its age. We need a more reliable and powerful tow rig to continue our journey safely and comfortably. Upgrading to a newer truck would mean Jay can still explore his dreams before Parkinson's takes those opportunities away from him. This journey is about seizing the day, making unforgettable memories together, and embracing the adventures that fuel our souls.

Our Goal: $25,000
We are reaching out to our amazing community for support. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to purchase a newer, more reliable tow rig that can handle our 2013 Montana 3725RL 5th wheel and keep us on the road. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to new adventures and unforgettable experiences.

How Your Contribution Helps
Safety: A newer truck means better safety features and more reliability on the road, ensuring we can travel with peace of mind.
Accessibility: With a new rig, we'll be able to visit places that were previously out of reach due to our current truck's limitations, allowing us to fully embrace the nomadic lifestyle we love.
Content Creation: More adventures mean more stories, photos, and videos to share with you all, keeping our community vibrant and engaged. Your support helps us inspire others to chase their dreams and live life to the fullest.
Volunteering and Workamping: A reliable truck will allow us to continue our workamping and volunteering efforts at state parks, contributing to the preservation and enjoyment of these beautiful natural spaces. Wanderers On Wheels Rv Life Facebook
Urgency: Every moment counts. Helping Jay explore this beautiful country before Parkinson's takes it away from him is a gift beyond measure. Your contribution makes these precious moments possible.
A Special Anniversary Wish
This July 20th, we will celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. It’s a testament to our love, resilience, and the adventures we've shared. Helping us get a new tow rig would be the most incredible anniversary gift, enabling us to continue our journey together, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Jay's Battle with Parkinson's
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. As the disease progresses, the ability to travel and explore becomes increasingly difficult. Jay’s diagnosis has given us a profound sense of urgency. We want to embrace every moment, see every sunrise, and explore every trail while we still can. Your support will enable us to make the most of the time we have left, living our dreams on the open road.

Join Us on Our Journey
Your support will not only help us get back on the road but also enable us to continue inspiring others with our journey. Whether you can donate or simply share our campaign with your friends and family, every little bit helps and is deeply appreciated.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our adventure. Together, let's hit the road and make more memories to last a lifetime!
