Cant say enough good about these ladies. Also this is what nomads do. Any way anytime someone needs help the nomads are there to do what they can. I love all nomads. They are truely a friend indeed. At one time i was homeless.in 198 i lost my mom . i was homeless in the summertime to try to rent a room for winter. This contonued for seven years. I had a car. But i had no idea about nommads and where they were. I certainly would of been with them. A beautiful community. I probably would of still be with them today. I a now 75 yrs. Old. I love camping . the freedom. Yes the freedom. The happimess. And love of. This community. No rat race. No rat bosses that try to run your life just because you need a job. You are your boss. You meet the finnest people who understand what you are going through.been there done that thing. Rich people make me sick. Let them walk on our shoes for a month see how they feel about our life and what they have to say. They would be left speechless. They have no feelings no heart. Not everyone thats a nomad but a very large percent is. Homeless.now im married . my husband dont lile camping vacations and traveling. He says to expensive. We never go anywhere. The store the laundrymat walk around the small park across the parking lot by our apts. We stay broke . no money for anything. Even if we had a comfortable income he still wouldnt change his mind. He lost his job 3 yrs ago. When the pandemic hit. It was worse. I cant work. The only check is soc. Sec. I told my husband if. He doesnt get a job steadily within two years we will be homeless. I will not let a apt. Owner ever take my car away from me. We will move. Then we will go to a special place called quartsite arizona. We will be nomads. We will meet some fine people. There. They understand everything. He has family. Just one son. Son barely gets. By on his income. I have no family. My husband and i just sit nd cry. We are barely eating. Jack im the box keeps us alive but our stomachs can only take so much oil. The apartment rent just keeps going. Up every six months lease. The owner of this place tells us ypu cant pay the rent then move. We told him this is a pandemic. No jobs now The owner says i dont care. Pay up. Or move. One choice. So we still pay the rent. But barely eating and a little gas. Still no job. Today is may 18th 2021 tuesday. So we dont know about computers or have one. To complicated. Cant afford the airtime either. My husband is a painter. Also a maintance man. He gets empty apts ready to rent.contracted. nobody is hireing. Not here in dallas texas.the contracted jobs i had didnt require computers. I did security work for 25yrs. Computers was a distraction. So back in 2009. In the winter i slipped on the ice at the apts. 3 times in the parking lot. After i got hpme from work. I have 3 vertabres knocked out. Put back in place with a charapractor. In 2010 i was walking to the car. Had a dentist appt. I just fell on the sidewalk. My left leg was paralized. I had to drive myself to e.r. and had emergency surgery . i had a broken hip. The groin bone snapped into from the neck bone. So now i have 3 3 inch screws holding my leg to my hip together. I can walk good. But i have a high risk of osteoporosis. And a vitamin b12 and vitamin d. Deficiency. These vitamins is expensive. I stretch them out.cant afford them all the time. My husband. Has about 2 cracked ribs from a fall back in 2016. He has no insurance. I have medicare. So we all are struggling. We all just keep on keepin on. Surely there is light at the end of the tunnel...we all never give up regardless of anything.we just keep.on praying. Thank jesus for what he did on the cross for us. Thank him for what we have today. He will always make a way for all of us. Jesus will never leave us. Love you all.i. will keep praying for you. Thank you for your time. Wish we could help you.jan from texas.

Thank you glorious. Love all your vids and you for you helping people in need. Sure wish we could help. We live on the bare basics..our son helps us with groceries. We have had our on going bills for three years now. Cant seem to get debt free. After all our bills are paid for the month we have 300.00 to eat. Gas laundry bath soap dish soap . no hair cuts. My husbands hair cut is 20.00. My hair cut is 40.00. Not just anyone can cut my hair. Its soft and flyaway. No texture. Last time someone cit my hair. I had to go buy a cap to wear My hair looked so bad. Chop chop chop. So anyway. One of these days. I. Want to meet these wonderful ladies. Stay with them a few days. Then go to quartside arizona to see box van dee and all her friends. Also stay somewhere that i will be. Welcome. I will have a car. But probably cant live in. It. This car i have now is a 2019. Mitzubishi 4 door mariage. It has a 1.7 engine. It cant hold any more than 300 pounds of any thing. We both weigh 360 pounds.together. cant tow anthing either. The car gets us where we need to go and thats it. My husband. Likes small. It gets about 28 miles in town and 32 highway miles. The car payments and car insurance is half my check. Im so tired of the city rat race. I have lived in apts for 47 years. Homeless in the summer. Worked save the money for a rppm for the winter for 7 years. I love camping. Freedom. Being my own boss. Meeting good people. The countryside. My husband needs a bath daily as we all do. Also a bed to sleep. If he had this he would think about it. The weather conditions heat and cold is a big factor. I told him. You got two and years to think about it. Naturally the ownera of these Apts just keeps going up on rent. We will be homeless then. Then what. He didnt say anything. He hasnt had a job in three years. Nody is hiring. Thank you for your time. Love you all.jan from texas.

If i get single again i will definately be headed to quartside arizona. If only my husband would just try to camp out style i sure would be happy. Its srange that some spouses wont even try to. Enjoy something new. And different for the both of them. I dpnt understand it. Love you. All. My husband is not lazy. He works very hard. But at hpme he is a couch potato. I dont know what i could say something to change his mind. Her we are facing homelessness in the next two years. So i love you all. Stay safe. I will pray for everyone.thank jan from texas.

Thank you a. K. You are so supportive. I sure feel like it believe me. Thank you glorious. I have tried to see how he response. Same thing maybe he is scared . but he would never admit it. But me im ready to leave out of dodge. Im looking forward in it. Cant wait. I feel so. Good just thinking about it. Yep im 75 yrs. Old. I dont have a lot of time to live. But i might have 10 yrs left to enjoy life. Yep....i do get depressed because he. Dont want to do anything i want to. But i gp along with him to keep the peace. I even tell him about the videos. He says he is not interested and no way. He doesnt want to pay for showers everyday. He is a handyman. I told him he could work on the road. He wants to go to work and eat take a shower and. Sleep. And get ready to go to work again. Thats all his life is. To make money also. He works the year round with no vacation time. I just told him what do you want in life. He said the same as i just mentioned. Boy what a life....i have.....love you all. If i left he would file for divorce. Even just to go camping. He says i would probably never come back home to him. So he has already given me the altrenative.
