Mobile business unit and vehicle

My Story...

Hi I am trying to raise funding for my business and developing not for profit. I am an artist and qualified environmental scientist working independently and living a low impact life which means I have for the past 20+years dedicated my life to living on what I need and to ecological concerns. So when during Covid I lost my workshop and much of what I was struggling to build, it hit me hard. Frustrated with life I decided to travel to Canada to learn more about ecology and wildlife and ended up travelling in Canada, not knowing how this would turn out. I did not anticipate travelling and living in a vehicle for more than 6 months but have been travelling on my own for more than a year now - under uncertain conditions and with little resources relying on the support of people who were compassionate enough to help me in my journeys. I would now like to travel across Canada to raise awareness about ecology and the environment, sharing this journey as I go.

Why Funding?

In order to do this I need to raise money for critical things such as a vehicle, supplies and ultimately would like an opportunity to get my business going again here, combining both the arts and environment for which I have a business plan. Everything I am doing currently here in Canada contributes to what I am building. I need to raise money for what I need in order to help raise environmental concerns at a grassroots level. I am doing this in a particular way so that there is a direct connection to what I am learning about and sharing.

Funding Needs

Short term

1) New vehicle

2) Supplies

3) Publishing costs for my sketchbook

I have been travelling light (to save costs), with only what has been given to me while putting materials together from places, through ecology, art and science based research to raise awareness about ecology and the environment. You can see what I am doing at www.bloomlore.com

If you would like to support me with any amount however small or large, it is really appreciated. I thank you for taking the time out to read my appeal.
