This is the story of Denise and her school bus conversion tiny home that she built after getting diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago. She didn’t want traditional treatments, and going the non-traditional route meant insurance wasn’t going to cover her treatment here in the United States.
So she sold her house, her car, and just about everything she owned to build this school bus and be able to afford her treatments. With it, she plans to travel the country for as long as she can.

This is one of the most inspiring stories I have ever seen on here. I wish her good health and good fortune. Awesome bus btw !
You may want to read Chris Wark’s book Chris Beat Cancer. He is 16 years out from a stage three d colon cancer diagnosis, and is cancer free by eating a lot of whole, raw, fruits and veggies. You can look him up on line if you are interested.
This story warmed my heart. So many of us are not alone. Your bus is beautiful and very well thought out. I will think of you Denise. You touched me and you are a fighter. I have been fighting odds but not with cancer. I admire the fact that you are free to go where you want to go. Hope we hear more about you and your traveling.
AMEN! Denise, U will beat the C and live to be 100 plus… I simply know that U will. Kindest regards to U from me in the wilds of Arkansas, USA.
