Wind and her 6 year old son have been staying with us the last three days. They moved to Colorado from Alabama after Wind left her boyfriend. Initially they stayed with a family member, but that quickly became dangerous and abusive. Said family member ransacked their belongings, taking mostly his clothes (and his teddy), before throwing them out. That evening Wind met a man who let them stay at his place, but he turned out to be even more dangerous! On their way to Walmart they met us and when we learned what they were going through we insisted they stay with us. We live in a bus and this isn’t ideal, but they are at least safe.

Roy has been spending 80% of his day working with Wind’s son doing math, reading, writing, music, science, art, and (of course) LOTS of playtime. He is currently not enrolled in school and Wind is anxious to get him back in, but she doesn’t even know where they are going to end up living!

Wind is signed up to work where roy and I work and she has an appointment with the human resources place downtown that helps us so much. They should be able to get this amazing family into a home asap.

All four of us are living in the bus now. They take the bed while roy and I have an air mattress on the floor.

They have nothing but two little backpacks. They each have about two sets of clothes, a Bible, and their shoes. Neither of them have socks and he has NO toys. He told me his favourite thing to play with is my deck of playing cards.

You can send Wind money directly to her cashapp ($Lakey28B) or you send money to roy and I (paypal.me/roydieud).

Please leave a note with paypal if you want the money to go to Wind.

Check the notes of this post to stay updated. I’ll add a wishlist for school supplies and winter clothes soon, as well as her own PayPal. I don’t have service on my phone so putting this together is taking a while.

This little dude has a wishlist full of school supplies, winter clothes, some toys, and a Spider-Man costume for Halloween. I’ll be adding to it later.

This is everything they have besides the clothes on their backs and the white bag is pretty much just her father’s antique Bible (if you wanna say shit about her having that, you can go ahead and eat shit until you die instead).

I put this together for him out of the things that I have, and he was overjoyed when I gave it to him, but like. Come on. Look at this. This is EVERYTHING he owns in the world that isn’t clothes.

You guys have been keeping gas in our bus all week and food in our bellies. We have enough food for a couple days, but we’re close to running out of gas again.

Wind completed her orientation and her and Roy are keeping one eye on the job list all day for something they can both do.

Wind needs steel toes asap. A cheap pair is about $30, and she can work whenever she wants, as much as she wants, until she can get a permanent job.

We’ve received so much love and encouragement over the last few days, we just need a little bit more material “love” right now.

Thank you thank you thank you all of you (except you, orphanage anon) for the support and kind messages.

If you have any items you want to send us directly, hmu and I’ll give you an address.
