As I write this in March of 2026, I’m in the visualization and fundraising phase. I don’t have a lot of savings, so I created a GoFundMe page to help with this.
Preliminary Plan:
Acquire a used Dodge ProMaster 2500 cargo van and begin building out the living spaces. Target: June ‘26.
Finish the build out and go on some test trips. Target: October ‘26.
Fundraiser in an ethical crowdsourced manner. Target: Now through completion.

There are several ways to help Kona and me reach this goal.
Join the Skool Community for free where I’ll share the entire process from now until the cows come home. 🐄
Donate or share the GoFundMe page to spread the word and reach more people than I can on my own.
Be kind to others in all you do. That won’t help me directly, but it will help you! 🙏🏼
