Good morning Artdeco42,
Wow, would derful things have happened. I did not buy that 2013 e350. Friends on here talked some sense into me so I decided to just remodel my car. BUT after sending out tons of prayer request on the internet I received a call. A couple whom I never met gifted me a 2004 Ford E250 wheelchair van in excellent condition. They had it all cleaned up, new brakes, tires, oil changed. They gave me the van for free, 100% free. They even came to DMV and pay for transfer fee's. I was in shock for days, actually I still am. I picked it up on the 29th of last month.
I will be giving away the wheel chair lift next week to a veterans organization. And my car I will be giving that away when I find a family in need. I am working with a month profit for that.
Oh, and the van has a 24" high roof so I can stand up in, wohooo. This is a miracle from God as far as I am concerned, a huge miracle. So I went from almost paying $850-950 a month for a van at 29.9% interest for six years to no payments for um never? Lol
I never met the couple before and they would not tell me how they heard about my situation. I still have no clue who they were but that's how they wanted it. I am forever grateful.

Congratulations! I was hoping that a charitable group or person whould hear about your situation, God does hear us, If we are truly in need of a blessing.
Prayers answered! Time to enjoy life and spread the word. Many people are in the position that you have been.
Best of luck and life Bro.

I am doing well, having a crash course in VanDwelling lol.three plus a cat. With no planning it is a huge mess and disorganized to the max. The kids have a make shift bed and got the front seat.
I am learning a lot, taking notes and prioritizing over and over.
This we'll be a great vanwhen I get to be alone. I can hardly wait to be alone so to speak.
In the car seemed we had less "stuff" in here it's packed.
If your in a car your blessed. Do not be envious. You have less space and will force yourself to live simpler and less stuff. You gas mileage is way better and that is huge. I now have 35 gallon tank vs 14 and mileage in this van sucks. A car is better mileage.
The seats are most likely more comfy than stock cargo seats.
Seriously look at the Brite side of being in the car.

Make a goal to stay out of debt!
Go to the shelter and help out, even if you can't sleep there, just volunteer. Watch what happens.
We all have our own roe to hoe. You get to the other end by placing one foot in front of the other.
Consult Kipling's "If".
Good to hear things are better!
