House bus burnt- lost everything!

$2,125 donated
Given by 43 generous donors in 4 weeks

Our dear friend's house bus - his home - has just gone up in flames outside of Taupo. He has lost everything.

Bay of Plenty

Calvin's bus burned down in a tragic fire. He was lucky to escape without injury, but lost his home and all of his possessions. He has been left with the clothes he's wearing and nothing else. Calvin is a kind fellow who always helps others and we are hoping some of this good karma can come around to help him now when he needs it most. If you can spare a couple of dollars, no matter how small, it would be great, and much appreciated.

Use of funds

The funds would be used to help Calvin get back on his feet as best he can. Food, shelter, clothes, and whatever else he needs to replace- up to and including the house bus.
