RE: [Crowd Funding] Help Homeless Steemians and Help Promote Steemit at the Same Time!
hey buddy love the idea. i was thinking about buying a mini bus as well. if you want you could make this goal much more achievable, you really dont need anywhere close to 25k to make this happen.
use searchcraigslist to look outside your immediate area and you can probably find a mini bus with under 150k miles for well under 5k if you look around hard, it should be in decent running condition as well.
now if your goal is to get started as quickly as possible you could literally spend a hundred or two on 2x4's build some bunk beds, maybe get a camping toilet and a pump sink and be on your way and worry about the finishing touches later.
if you want it to be a bit more well put together i think with a week or two and about 5k you could have a really nice bus with flooring, a composting toilet, maybe a mini fridge run off propane and some bunk beds.
i would say this can easily be done for under 10k.
best of luck hope you get it off the ground as im looking to do something similar myself and would love some cool ideas for layout
Excellent Suggestions, and you are absolutely correct the bus/conversion won't cost anywhere near 25k. I am actually expecting about $15k for the bus and conversion, another $1k to re-title as an RV and get insurance on it, $1k to wrap it in Steemit Promotional Advertisements and $3k for unforeseen repairs/maintenance that will need to be done soon into the trip (call this the "Oh Shit Money" for a grand total of only $20k. The other $5k in the Campaign is just to make sure we have enough to get the Steemit Bus rolling in case anything happens and things don't go as expected with the aforementioned figures.
Thats actually a good plan. I bet it will get you out of the streets fast and probably a lot of other people as well. Especially by promoting steemit you help us all to grow with it and change the life of many people as you go and grow.
Well thought!
