Below is a beautiful van tour with Kalen and her cats. Unfortunately, the van and most of her belongings are gone since she had an accident and rollover. Fortunately, she and the cats are all okay. Watch her pre-accident tour below (her van was beautiful) and consider donating here to help her get back on her feet.
Kalen teaches English while she’s also working on her Master’s degree, and since the pandemic has been able to do it all online. She also has a chronic illness that could have stopped her from jumping on the van wagon, but she didn’t!

What a beautiful home! How tragic that it’s totaled! If you can, consider donating to help her re-build and get back into van life.

My heart just broke for you especially after seeing how much work you put into your van. I am 76 and just bought my first van to fix up. It’s not one I can stand up in but plan to do a lot of camping. I will be going on my first trip in a week and can’t wait. I have had so much fun fixing it up and I now feel a kinship with other van owners. That’s why your story hit me so hard! I will be praying for your health( no stress!) and completion of your new van that you will be even happier with. I pray others will give from their hearts also! Bless you and your furry children. God saved you for something special! Love in Jesus, Susan Harter
Susan you are an inspiration! 76 and making it happen! Please send us pictures of your van when you have it “done enough” to want to share it. We would love to interview you >> https://tinyhousetalk.com/share-your-tiny-house/
