We are Cat and Roy, a married couple living in an unconverted school bus in Colorado. Winter is coming and we aren’t prepared. We are also unemployed. We used to work for Labor Ready, but they’ve fallen off so hard we can’t get work from them any more. We’re currently looking for work, but it’s not easy going.
I (Cat) have chronic pain and depression, both of which I’ve only just begun receiving treatment for. As of right now I have a plethora of doctors appointments I’m struggling to keep, including physical therapy every week. I haven’t been able to work at a scheduled job in about two years, but I’m currently seeking employment, as is Roy.
I also do tarot readings online ( @psychic-cat ) and I make porn (Manyvids.com/ladythc), although the porn production has been difficult in the bus, especially now that it’s cold.
Last month we gave shelter to a homeless mother and child for about a week and that kind of set us back a bit (not that we would have had it any other way given their situation).
We had hoped to insulate the bus by now and have a better heating system. As of right now we have cardboard in some of the windows and a small propane heater that runs on small canisters ($4 = 6 hours of heat).
We’re also currently pretty low on food, although we could manage some sad-ass meals over the next day or two. We have a stove we can cook on, but it also takes propane canisters. One of those lasts about two days on the stove.
Until one of us finds a job and starts getting paid, we are going to have to rely on donations as our main source of income.
Task Rabbit took our application fees and never contacted us, despite us reaching out to them multiple times.
Amazon accepted both of our applications, but are telling us they can’t place us at any of their locations here (which seems really fishy to me…)
We haven’t heard anything from any of the other places we’ve applied, but we’re keeping at it.
I seem to be working up a cold, though, so I suspect I’m gonna be useless for the next few days.
There are LOTS of ways you can help and support us!
Tarot readings (Message @psychic-cat or @the-ladythc)
Please let me know if any links don’t work! Tumblr likes to mess with them…
Thank you for reading! Please pass this along if you can’t donate 💜
P.S. I suspect we’ll be needing this for a while, so please don’t assume we don’t need help any more if this gets a lot of notes.
Ok now that the thing with the van is (almost) over (tow yard is closed today), we can get back to just regular surviving. I have a job interview on Wednesday that I’m very optimistic about.
Winter has arrived in Colorado for real. We’ve had a couple light snow falls, but now it’s real. Besides finding work, our main priority right now is insulating the bus. If you’d like to aid in that endevour, the items on the wishlist would really help with that.
Thank you guys so much for the love and support and every penny you sent! I’ve been getting a lot of negative messages over this, so I’ve kinda been avoiding Tumblr all together.
One last note: If you want to send us food you don’t have to worry about it being non-cook. We have a gas stove and can really use ramen and boxes of mac and cheese and stuff like that.
