Dragonfly's Path Bus Funding
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Lauren but my nickname is Laurel! Three years ago on this day August 8, 2017- I got into a severe Car accident. I was in the front passenger seat in a truck that was hit Head on by a woman that was driving on the wrong side of the road. I sustained some pretty bad injuries (several broken ribs and a few fractured vertebrae which I was then given a spinal fusion). I also had to be intubated in the hospital - due to a collapsed lung from Pneumonia I caught in the hospital. Skip a few months and from the accident I acquired some funds which allowed me to invest in a bus project/Bus Conversion! Unfortunately, I have had many hurdles with this bus and in my life the past few years. One of them being- investing in someone to help build the bus and they did not come through. Furthermore, I am still disabled- I have 8 herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, compressed fractures, spondylosis,spondylolisthesis, Schmorl's nodes, my spinal fusion and Osteoarthritis. I also have ptsd from both the car accident and other more recent traumas, and neurological issues such as migraine and migraine with Aura. However, I am just trying to move forward and finish the bus- so I can have a permanent home and also heal in everyway ! I have struggled a lot over the past few years with both my health and stability and having a home. I am staying with someone now while trying to finish the bus. Just need some help with getting items and completing the bus! All together I need about $6000.
-About $600 is what is needed for Grey water tank, and all other water and plumbing supplies and for what is needed for finishing the solar and electrical !
- $1800 is for any tools and supplies needed to finish furniture and test of interior , along with new stove, fridge, and any other miscellaneous items needed to finish the home !
-$600 is for a smaller and better woodstove for the bus (the one I have now is too big and heavy- the smaller ones for bus conversations are about $600)
-$2000 for things I need to fix on the Exterior but not needed until the interior is finished!
-$1,000 is for a Nature's Head Compost Toilet- not a full necessity but would be easier to have in the long run!
The extra $500 is an estimate of the Fees that Gofundme would charge!
Lastly, The plan for the Bus is for it to be a Prayer Bus ! By prayer I mean going back to the Heart Space! I would also like this bus to be about Radical self healing (herbalists, breathworkers, musicians, artists, and- any healing modalities to share with others etc) and activism! I would love to make this a space in which people want to travel and also be a part of its missions!-It is called Dragonfly’s path because the Dragonfly has always showed up for me when I have weeped the most- has always showed me the way back Home! ️ ️ Thank you for following the Dragonfly’s Path Journey and supporting me and it! ️ ️

My bus!
Some of Interior thus far- it looks like a lot more than it is - have to take apart a lot of things because it was done poorly by person that was working it. But just wanting to move forward and get this build done! ^_^
Me on the bus!
Thank you so much for all of your support!
