I am trying to help my homeless friend, John, buy a used VW camper van so he can have a roof over his head as the weather turns cooler.
John is an intelligent, charming and positive 60 year old who has been living on the streets in Marina Del Rey, CA for over 12 years. He is well known and respected in the area as he used to work on many of the boats that are docked here.
John is blind in one eye and has a bad leg from an accident that leaves him in pain on many days. Despite his handicaps, John spends 3 days a week doing volunteer work for a local church.
Currently, some kind folks have let John stay in their old Jeep Wrangler. But, sleeping curled up in the back of a jeep is no kind of life, and it is uncomfortable due to his bad leg. John's dream is to buy an old VW camper van, so that he has a roof over his head, a place to stretch out, and a place to call home.
