We're broke and the expenses are queuing up. I don't know if #MUTUALAID still has the capacity to help us any more. Please, if you can, prove it does at least a bit.

We're doing our level best to use what we have and only buy what we can't get elsewise. But some things are money-only and expect blood from a stone.

In our 9th month of living in the Vulpibus and our car, we are still working on getting the basics up and running. We yet need to get and install enough insulation, batteries and air con to have a safely temperature controlled environment of our own in this brutal, climate change addled world. We also need to install proper plumbing and to diagnose and fix some engine problems.

We have made great progress with many things, but the journey is far from over and your help continues to be needed. We are doing what we can to find more income sources, but in the meantime you are an incredible lifeline.

I got one step closer to resolving our DMV issues today. The next steps cost more money though!

We need $60-300 for the immediate DMV matters (I cannot elaborate too much on it here for opsec).

We also need food money and repair money for the car ($20) and the bus's engine (depends).

We need a towing dolly to pull our car around ($400-2000)

Finally, if you know anyone with land we can park on for a while in eastern PA or NJ or NY state, please let us know.

The situation on the Vulpibus is never cheap it seems, though we have managed to get some things for free there's some we don't expect to be free at all.

Things we need:

Plywood
Sheet metal
Angle iron
Screws
A towing dolly for our car to be pulled behind the bus
Oil filter
A full engine check and service to deduce where coolant is leaking

Can we say $2000 to cover most of this?

We are still months away from me getting employed in a job where the pay will be something but not exactly much in the face of inflation.

Please find us free parking for a few months... PA, NJ or NY state

Hey everyone, the good news is we now have enough to cover car insurance for this month. However, the loan payment still looms large. $280 is a lot to pay when you get charged $33 penalties and $15 fees for going into the red.

We do now have the water tank fitted on the Vulpibus! But it needs its pump to be wired in which requires some step-down transformer wiring shenanigans, and it needs plumbing and heated pads for winter.

We need to build the bed, if anyone has an old bandsaw they don't need, please ping me.

We need more batteries and insulation.

We need more 3D printing filament (PETG, PVC, Nylon, PLA).

We need to top up fuel (25 gallons at $4/gallon)

We need more sheet metal too.

And we need somewhere to park for free for a while until the DMV is done and ideally I get a CDL.

Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.

Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.

Good news: I got a job! No more mutual aid needed!

Bad news: April Fool. Though I did get offered a job, it's going to be MONTHS before it reaches the point where I am paid and don't need #mutualaid.

So... can anyone spot me any amount from like $5 to $1000?
I have so many uses right now for such funds, chiefly relating to food and the further improvement of the #Vulpibus into something @Kuniti_shino and I can live, work and transform my vessel into a kitsune form in (and make freedom of form genetic tech for all)...

No that part's not an April Fool, I'm just fucking determined.

Gah, we're wearing out our drill bits trying to mount this water tank under the Vulpibus! We need better drillbits that can chew through 9mm thick steel chassis beams like they are plastic or wood.

We really need somewhere more out of the way to park our school bus conversion project in progress in NJ, PA or NY.

Somewhere that doesn't cost money. We'll happily help any hosts with whatever we can do part time.

Hey @fedihelp and other #mutualaid beans, we (@Kuniti_shino & me) are in need of #fedihelp to cover our bills!

Since we became basically #homeless and living in an unready #skoolie project which is stuck in #DMVhell (anyone who works in the DMV, especially NJ or PA, please be in touch) we've been practically #unemployable on top of already having very eclectic CVs/resumés which algorithms and AIs hate.

We're doing all we can to make #Vulpibus #busconversion more complete for our #basicneeds & for @vulpinelabs for gene editing sys design & helping other #trans, #lgbtq #queer etc folks by sharing resources, providing a mobile rescue/safe space.

We have a small #EV for runabout which we got on finance before we lost jobs & apartment. Now every month we have car loan and insurance to pay. Vulpibus is paid off but its insurance is another matter.

Food & hardware keep putting us in the red.

Any help very appreciated.

We had an emergency last night while cooking with our induction hob, when our battery box nearly caught fire as the interlink cables' connectors overheated and melted their insulation and burned into the tops of a couple of the batteries (not through to the inside though). I disconnected the batteries before the nasty smoke could turn to outright flames.

We finished our cooking on a camp fire.

We now have some new copper welding cable lugs on the 2AWG cables and power is back on.

We need some #Mutualaid to keep us out of overdraft trouble.

EDIT: goal MET IN ONE GO by one VERY generous donor!
Next goal coming up!

Our #roadsafety need for a #tyrechange on the #Vulpibus is getting critical. The #tyres the bus came with are from 2012, worn and developing cracks. They are #inflated to the 115psi they are supposed to have, but a #blowout is becoming a matter of when, not if. Since we would rather not end up stranded in a ditch, this is an ASAP #urgent call out for #mutualaid. It's gonna be about $1200 because at least the front 2 tyres have to be new. The back 4 can be used, though getting new is obviously better.

We are on 6 very old, very worn tyres in the #Vulpibus, we are rapidly approaching a need to drive long distances and we need your #mutualaid #fedihelp now. @hankook_sport @michelin @goodyearracing @bridgestone @pirellisport would any of you or any other tyre maker consider hooking us up for a sponsorship of some sort?

We need to build stability, a dollar a month at a time.

Drilling!
Screwdriving!
Interlocking slats!

Thanks very much for all the help we've already received, and the patience you have shown us. We hope our progress is gratifying, even though it takes a while.

So today is not going entirely to plan.
The set of additional #solarpanels I connected up refuse to give us juice. I tried to trace the fault and got jack shit info because my cheap ass 19 year old #multimeter is (confirmed by many tests now) not working any more. Its fuse is fine too, as is its #battery. It just displays zeros.
So add to the list of unexpected expenses and delays one new multimeter...

#mutualaid is our lifeline to #selfsufficiency so we can help others. Can you help us out with our expenses for...?

Multimeter: $7-8 at Harbor Freight
Crimp connectors: $?
Tyres: ~$1200 (Vulpibus)
Refilling fuel: ~$100
Refilling my overdraft: ~$500
Refilling my other overdraft: ~$250

Let's get those #solarpanels wired in today, and meanwhile, let's dig us out of a locked overdraft once again! Can we do $500 today? #mutualaid is very essential right now, and heavily appreciated as we build our home, our workspace, our rescue and escape vehicle, our self sufficiency and more all in one.

You're awesome people and I've heard from you how sone of you are just giving back after years of needing aid yourselves. We'll be giving back and so much more with the Vulpibus complete and our gene editing tech built. I hope to do you all proud.

Today we have side #solar panel 2/10, 16/24 overall, mounted on the #Vulpibus. We also worked out (mentally at least) the design for the bedroom and bathroom wall. We bought some reflective strips for vehicular safety, 2 guage wire connectors, more bolts and screws and more drill and screwdriver bits (they break often when working on thick steel with unknown overlaps behind it) today. To get more done, we need some #fedihelp #mutualaid #funding to cover the cost of hinges, screws and wood, as well as getting much needed tyres fitted and covering numerous bills.

This week so far: $100/$2000

A solar panel fastened to the side of the Vulpibus on a clear sunny day. More solar panels are on the roof.
2025-03-09

It's a new week and our #mutualaid target is $2000.
I am going to need it for:
#carloan $280
#creditcard bills $50
#tyres for the Vulpibus $1200
#insulation for the Vulpibus (ongoing bit by bit)
#food
#batteries for the #solar power setup $400 min.

There are more things I could list but it depends what pops up and when. Please only donate what you can spare. Lots of love!
