After exiting an abusive relationship in 2024, Emily & Dulcinea began rebuilding life in Iowa City, IA. They always dreamed of returning to camper life. In the spring of 2026 Emily and Dulcinea were just catching their stride in city living when Emily was unexpectedly fired from both George's Buffet and Greenhouse in Iowa City. The State of Iowa's Workforce Development department found Emily was iligitimately fired from both locations and is in the process of receiving some unemployment compensation. 

With rent prices unexpectedly increasing 20%, the options were becoming limited. The wind was calling and nature focused living was calling Emily and Dulcinea back to the woods and prairie. 5 year old Dulcinea begins homeschool kindergarten this fall and 35 year old Emily is a virtual/in-person accountability and fitness coach. 

An organic farm opportunity is on the horizon. Emily and Dulcinea must downsize belongings to fit into a camper full time by the end of July 2026. Funds raised from downsizing will also be used to fund the transition to this lifestyle. Full-time camper living is familiar to this family. They were traveling campground hosts in 2021 to 2024. Emily & Dulcinea never wanted to leave the camper lifestyle but family separation and pressure from extended family had these two living an unauthentic life in the city of Iowa City for two years, BUT NO MORE!

Help these two sweethearts return to their dream lifestyle, avoid homelessness, and return to their life's mission as Nature Caretakers. Funds raised will be used to purchase a camper and a towing vehicle. Emily, Dulcinea, and their kitty bros- Vishnu & Acuda, are looking for a small nomadic home that will be easy to haul and maneuver.

This family is staying positive but, quite honestly, they are in need of miraculous help from someone like you. With limited support, this family needs you to care enough to share this link with friends and donate what you feel inspired to. 

Blessings to you. 🫶
