Everyone needs a roof over their heads.It could be an apartment,a home in the woods,or a converted school bus.
For Julie Atkins,turning old school buses into tiny homes for homeless people is a great solution.She came up with the idea when she was a journalist in Ashland,Oregon and began writing stories of homeless people.She spent two years living alongside homeless people in Denver,Colorado. "They want to have their own home that's safe and mobile," Atkins said.
Then she came across many families living in old school buses.She met a family with seven children in an old school bus. "It was in a mess," said Atkins.There was no toilet,shower or kitchen inside."
That's when the idea of Vehicles for Change was born.Atkins thought that the buses have 240 square feet of space and they are retired from schools when they are only 12 years old,so they are in good shape.You could add electricity,a kitchen,as well as a bathroom to the bus.
"This is a project that I really think can have an impact," said Alex Daniell,who saw what Atkins was doing and offered to help.Now he is working on designing and building new buses.The buses are donated by local schools.
One of the families that just moved into their own home is the Floods.The family heard about Vehicles for Change,applied for a home and moved in on Thanksgiving Day of 2018.The bus changed their life.They not only lived happily in their own home,but also found better jobs.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
