Hey, We are officially knocking on the door of $50,000! 🚐✨
Guess what? The halfway mark is officially in our sights!
While our GoFundMe shows one number, the true story is even bigger.
Between our online supporters and the incredible direct gifts we’ve received from fans at our shows, we are closing in on the $50,000 milestone.
That is 50% of our total goal! But here’s the real surprise: this journey has become about so much more than just a van.
The doors that have opened and the people we’ve met along the way are worth more than the money itself.
The story has turned into something beautiful.
We aren’t at $50,000 yet, but we are so close! Who wants to help us cross the halfway mark today? Every mile counts! 🎻🚀
