RV for homeless woman

**I am keeping her name private to protect her privacy** Please reach out to me with any questions.

I am heartbroken over a terrible situation a wonderful woman is in, left homeless and separated from her children due to medical issues and I am desperate to help her. Please help me raise money to get her into an RV that she can live in. She does not have a car and has been currently staying in hotels or at random friend's houses when she can, but she is quickly running out of money. Her young-adult kids are staying with friends. She is at the point where she may lose her things that are in storage because she can't afford that anymore. She already had to downsize her storage and get rid of some things.

I think a used RV would be perfect for her and she agrees. It would allow her to be mobile and also have a place to stay. She would be staying in campgrounds and would probably actually enjoy that lifestyle. She did have the opportunity to go into a homeless shelter, but she was told by a social worker that it is one that is known to be riddled with drugs and gang activity so she was scared to death to go there, and I don't blame her.

She will be receiving disability benefits, but the process has been painstaking for her as she does not have a steady residence and has many doctor appointments to get to. It is near impossible to get a Medicaid ride to a doctor appointment when you don't know where you're going to be living from day-to-day.

Anything at all that you can give to help her would be greatly, greatly appreciated and well used. If you cannot give, but would be willing to share this that would be wonderful too!

I am setting the goal on this high because it would be wonderful if we could get her some thing that is not going to break down on her and give her problems in the future. There is definitely a lot out there on Facebook marketplace so we will be able to do something for her if we can't reach this goal.

** the RV pictured is not the one I'm looking to get for her. I just wanted to show what I am thinking.**
