Building Tiny House for Almeda Fire victims
Donation protected
Thousands of local families have been displaced, I am going to help!
I am building a tiny home to donate to families in need within the Rogue Valley that lost everything in the Alameda Fire in September. There are thousands of homeless, disproportionately low-income people of color, that need somewhere to live.
I am doing everything that I can (being 456 miles away while at college) to give back to my community that needs help.
I am building a Tiny House that will be donated to those who need a home to stay in as the fall and winter come closer.
Anything helps:
If you can donate money, that would allow me to continue to build this structure for a family in need. If you are unable to donate money, I completely understand but have wood or building supplies lying around and want to donate those I would greatly appreciate that too. If anyone is near Walla Walla WA and wants to swing a hammer or help put on sheeting I would appreciate physical help too.
In high school, I built the Tiny house pictured, over 4 years, and last semester I built the travel trailer also pictured. Now it is time to give back and use my skills acquired over the past 7 years to support those in need.
Please feel free to reach out, ask questions, or ask for updates!

Finances:
I have set my goal at $5,000. When I built my tiny house in high school it cost me $14,354.35, and I have confidence that by working quickly, using used materials, asking for donations, and buying everything that I can second hand I can build a Tiny House for fire victims in need in my budget of $5000 by the end of the school year.
I have already bought with donations and personal money from working this summer:
The trailer ( an old Travel trailer $500)
Chop Saw (FB marketplace $25)
Trip to the lumberyard #1 ($466.65)
Used hard foam insulation (FB marketplace $50)
Lumberyard #2 ($16.45)
3 windows (Local used $150)
Lumberyard #3 ($24.99)
3 more Windows (FB marketplace used $150)
More yet to come...
Thank you so much for your help!
