Help Kalen Rebuild Her Home

Hi, my name is Alexandria, and I am here today asking for your support for my friend, Kalen, and her two cats, Biscuit and Poppy. After spending an entire year and her life savings on her beautiful home (a green T1N Sprinter named Bennie), Kalen hit the road mid-2021 and began making her mark on the van/nomadic community. Traveling with her two cats while working remotely as a college teacher, she has had a positive impact on every landscape and human that she has touched, and I consider myself extremely lucky to have gotten to know and travel with her this past year.

In an unfortunate turn of events, while driving in the Utah frost, Kalen hit a patch of ice, and her van flipped multiple times - leaving her without a home. Though we are incredibly grateful that she and her cats walked away from the event safely, it does not diminish the fact that in the accident, Kalen has just lost her home and many of her belongings.

If there is one thing that I know, it is that this community shows up for one another in good times and bad. This is an instance where one of our own needs support, and I believe in our community and the power of the internet/social media to help Kalen get back on her feet and in a safe home once again. Though the goal amount of this campaign will not undo the emotional pain of losing a home, my hope is that it can lessen the stress that comes with a situation of this nature and contribute to her rebuilding.

Thank you in advance for anyone who is able and willing to donate or share her story - your support is greatly appreciated.
