I’m sooo happy to know that she is no longer homeless. With all the setbacks she has had since a child, she pulled through and landed on her feet. Battling depression starting from childhood, toxic environments to homelessness for 10 years….whew! And she’s still standing!💪🏾 She is a warrior and formidable. ❤❤❤
The morale of this story is that with God all things are possible she had faith in the one and only and that's how she made it through to God be the glory
I totally agree with you @MsNandi my heart is truly happy for Vanessa @VVLJ this is her time and season to shine like a diamond 💎 that was in the rough .
She was depressed ,, yet was it not for her to go to a woman's shelter because she had a vehicle OR she chooses to live homelessness? Wouldnt the shelter assist her with employment? She had gas to travel also so she would have had gas to travel to work . "Just saying "
I think this woman is a genius. It’s a completely original arrangement, and she managed to do it by herself on a limited budget. She has everything she needs there. It’s amazing. Also, I really love all the yellow.
I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. So glad that you got the van after the guy not taking your call. God knew what you needed. Never rush into things but pray always. Thanks for your Testimony and putting God first. Love your van and your color. Even on a dull day you bring sunshine in with your colors dear Well done. 🙏🌹
She is! You said it Juniper. I've watched hundreds if not thousands of videos on van life & I always say to myself "why do you have to have a bed build???" As long as you're comfortable & get good sleep, then having more space is definitely important to me. THIS is exactly what I want when I start my van life next Spring. Thank you Vanessa!! 💜🥰
Girlfriend, you are by no means homeless, home is where your heart is and you and your home is beautiful! I always watch videos like this and you are inspiring to me from just seeing the title of your video. Keep on doing you
Home is where the heart is. My home is a tax pit for the city & state i live in. At this stage of my life and many health issues, id rather live a minimalist life on the road. I'm tired being hunkered down where it's draining my bank account
Vanessa. I just discovered your channel, and subscribed. You are amazing, and such an inspiration! Wow! You have really paid attention to each and every detail. I love your home. You are a genius with your closet! Wishing you continued Blessings.✨️🙏
My daughter and I have been homeless for 18 months and now we have an rv. I'm getting so many great ideas from you. Your place is so incredible. Just so cute. I love your attitude. Thank you. I'm so happy to have met you
Her story is amazing and her faith is inspiring. She took lemons, made lemonade and found a van that fits her lifestyle. I love the bright yellow accents!
May God bless those who bless her as long as she gives humble glory to God. I’m so impressed by her humility, to admit that these ideas are not her ideas, she’s just listening to God, praising him, and obeying him.
For someone who suffered from depression in her lifetime , she sure has a calm, and peaceful disposition about herself 💯😌 😌🙏🏾👍🏽 And thank GOD she has a place she could call HOME, instead of being HOMELESS ❤️👍🏽
One thing I’ve noticed with true Van Lifers is the DEEP gratitude they have for what they have. It is so amazing and moving watching this. Thank you Vanessa ❤
I do believe especially coming from a place in life where I too had to step back and ground myself with what's in front of me, what I have vs what I don't have. You begin to quite the mind and see life in it's purest form. Stress becomes less or gone Simplicity. Going within and to know oneself, one's mine, who you truly are not who people think you are or should be without all the added life toxcity, materialistic distraction. You belive, you be still, you trust in the higher power God, you renew your mind. God strengthen you, protects you, guide you and you become a warriors because you have went through thr valley and shawdow of death God staff comforted you through all your tribulation and inspite of your hardships you're still standing. You have no fear you see life as precious no matter how small your surroundings or less you have. You have what you do need. You may have not notice before but, now live in a big world that you can explore enjoying God creation with an even bigger mighty God by your side as he command HIS angels protection over you. That's living.

vanessa is so fly! this girl got her van for 1300 dollars because her phone refused to call the guy. then she built out her van herself with 3 closet spaces, seating for 8 and a toilet. and now we get to watch her van tour as she sprawls out on her love seat, enjoying her scented candle whilst telling us about how she cans in her van! unbelievable. she is so inspiring
Omg i love her! Just the fact that she has her greeting cards from her viewers speaks volumes about the huge heart she has. I have subscribed to her channel just now. God bless her! 🙏
Thanks so much I appreciate everything my subscribers have done for me I am very grateful. I couldn’t have done it without them. Almost all of the items in my van from the solar, to the decor, door racks and more were gifted to me by my subscribers.
@@hearingeyes9129 IF your eyes hear than your ears see, so you must know that if Vanessa fails to continue making Bren feel that way, then Bren gets something even better. The opportunity to grow.
THIS. This is how you do thrifty style. The pops of yellow! The DIY pillows! The LAMINATED ACCENTS. So useful, so affordable, so genius! She won the game!
God bless you I am so glad I watched your video, for some reason I just cried, but make no mistake, they were happy tears, you now live in my heart, I admire your strength, courage, determination, and love for the lord, continue to live your now life, and let the toxic past be what it was, I've been there, and sometimes it gets lonely, but I know I'm never alone! Much love and respect Kathy Taylor, (veteran U S Air Force)
What a smart, creative, wonderful woman. I love videos about people overcoming obstacles. We see so many privileged van-lifers who had huge amounts of money, help, and resources for a build. This lady did it on her own, on a budget, and it reflects her individuality. Brava!
WOW! I have seen hundreds of Van-Life builds over the last 10 years, but she's right, I've never seen anyone partition a whole side of their van to build that much closet space. That is Awesome! Way to go Vanassa! I'll be checking out your channel for sure. Thanks for the tour of your lovely home 🙂
What a beautiful Van Build.You have the best. I watch a number of VANS .You have a wonderful attitude to life. This was a joy to watch. From. Toronto Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you for NOT chopping up her dialogue. Thought process is so important for pro’s and cons. I loved hearing her testimony and I’m moved by her Faith and joy! I love her color scheme. The large plant is something you never see in a van, but it made an efficient divider for a little privacy. I’ll definitely subscribe to her. As a canner myself, I’m thrilled that she made space to can! I’ve watched thousands of builds and never seen a canner!!! ✌🏼💜
So much good energy! 🙌🏾 Love seeing more Black women shown doing van life too. I really appreciate her story & hearing more from people that moved into a van out of necessity as opposed to just curiosity-showing the full spectrum of tiny living & van life! 💗 It also reinforces the fact that van life/tiny living really reflects the priorities of the individual-3 closets & a foldable bed isn’t something I’ve ever seen before. Definitely gonna look her up on social media!
I’ve been homeless majority of my life, including when I was a child living with my mother and siblings- I’m currently still homeless, but I have worked myself to the bone and hopefully in a few weeks I will be purchasing my van home- thank you for sharing this story because not every van lifer tells the ugly truth as to why they are van lifers. Homelessness is truly a problem even more so than ever that the government refuses to do anything about and I think having a van home can be the perfect solution- beautiful my spirit sister.🥰
Maybe get a job instead of watching RUclips on an expensive phone. You have no pride and no drive in life. A life of seeking out handouts will definitely keep you poor
@@rayden1231 Hope y now, you're well.on your way o.purching and remodeling your new home on wheels I would love to do this, but I'm little afraid of knowing where to park at night to be safe
Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
@@Florencecoxx I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@izagdlife That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my consultant. I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards. He has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. I basically follow his trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so.
@Queen OF Love This is the Fourth time I'm seeing someone talking about Mr Gary as there are lot of testimonies about him, do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him?
I totally love this story.. I was homeless in 2015-2018. It’s 2023 and I’m typing this comment from my brand new home. God is good.. to those finding one’s self in a situation don’t give up! This is very inspiring God will help and make a way.. love the decor just beautiful 🥰

I was sitting here totally sad with not having a place to call mines and this video showed up on my news feed. I wasn't going to watch it thinking I would not have any energy to care because I'm ready for my own too... BUT after watching this I literally started crying feeling a sense of hope that God has not forgotten about me and I too will soon be able to have a testimony like y'all. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏💓
Congratulations on your home now.. This is wonderful!! Yes agreed 💯 God is good. We've all been through our tough times but God is there. It's all about his timing. You keep shining.
I really liked when they were open too showing all the nice organization and soft sided storage bins. SO CUTE. Tidiness is godliness. I love her ideas and open helpful personality
She had the will and found the way! So proud of her and for her! I love the colors she chose, they go perfect together! She has finally made the life for herself that she longed for! Sending nothing but good vibes and happiness your way!
Nobody would believe how nice that van is on the inside. You have classy taste and are very intelligent. So sorry you were homeless for ten years. Glad I found you on here. Glad you now have a home and even a social life. Amazing!
She can start an entrepreneur biz to help ppl transition/build for Van Life…🔥 loved her spirit…she never gave up…and she looks like she has a piece of mind…❤
She is such a beautiful energizing positive and brilliant person! Such a breath of fresh air and so much perspective. I love that you connected us to her YT channel in the description as well 😊
I love that, “Get rid of stuff when it does nothing for you.” So true on that. You inspire me to go through my things and just let go. I love your story and so happy for you. Your van makes me so happy. I love your color scheme. I’m going to show this video to my daughter because her dream is to have a van like yours to go travel with her friends. Thank you for sharing your story and your wisdom. I will pray for you to keep on going. 🙏🏼🧚🏽🦋🌿💕
This video makes me so emotional. I was also homeless in Houston for about a year, living in my car and hotels. I also suffer from depression. I too have just discovered van life, and I am interested to try. and all I can say I’m so inspired by her journey. Thank you for sharing ❤.
Hi C Lrae, you know God is not a respecter of persons. He will gladly provide for you just as he has for Vanessa. Most importantly He wants a personal relationship with you which is only possible through His Son, Jesus Christ. once you make that decision then you just cast all your care on Him because He Cares for you. God is so awesome. He is our only Hope that will not disappoint. God loves you beyond your wildest imagination. Simply Trust HIM
Very inspirational I am actually homeless same situation growing up , battling depression and anxiety no family support. This has me wanting to find a van and start my own journey. Thank you for your inspiration.
i wish you the best of luck find what you are looking I know someone paying 2000 a month in rent that outrageous single people cant afford to live on their own it hard a
Vanessa, you are an absolute delight. You radiate positivity and have such such a great vibe about yourself. You exude perseverance and determination and most of all, SUCCESS! As a woman, what you have achieved is such an accomplishment, and I would LOVE to congratulate you on what you’ve done for yourself. You should be so very proud. I also think, as a woman myself, it is so very important that women build other woman up. We should be lifting each other up in prayer, in positivity and in praise. We women struggle for any real recognition in the “big world” so whenever we can build each other up, I think it’s important to do so. I’d love to send you an item on your Amazon wish list. How do I get to your link to do so? Thank you, and please continue to be such a ray of light and an inspiration to ALL women!! You rock!
Her story touched my heart. I sold all I owned and moved away to a whole new place and lived happily in a tent. Until God blessed me with a camper and my own small business. He is always on time!
She has done such a beautiful job designing her van!!! It's so stunning!!! I pray she is always safe, cozy , and happy in her precious home on wheels. May she always stay blessed!!! ❤️
H-town represent! My goodness, she is beyond lovely. Absolutely love her spirit and how she infused a bit of her personality into her build. She brings the sunshine with her wherever she goes! Wishing her and Treasure all the best in life.
It’s amazing how a color scheme like this really reduces the feeling of clutter. Great job, she’s just so impressive. And those pine pellets are a revelation to me!
What a true sunshine she is !!!! She is an amazing woman with a great testimony!!! Lord keep continuing to bless her and keep her safe and well. She is your faithful daughter. What a gift she is to this world
That's such a beautiful story about how you found Treasure! As a formerly unhoused person myself, I can really appreciate that lovely, comforting feeling of ~°HOME°~ Congrats on creating a sanctuary that gives you all positivity and joy you deserve!
@@phoney4387 Phoney, the word "homeless" carries a big burden, yes. My channel bio says (keep reading): "I am a geologist and marine biogeochemist (earth & life science) from a prosperous egalitarian country (the Netherlands). At the end of 2004, I moved to England. That was only supposed to have been for a few years. I’ve previously lived in the US (Florida). Among other things, I've served as board member for the Environmental Chemistry (and Toxicology) Section of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society, member of board and committees for a foundation for women in science and technology, and as associate editor for the US-based Geochemical Society. I've published books about the new eugenics (bioethics) and about otherisation, written about violence against women and children as well as about science & technology. I know a bit about rehabbing wild birds. I went to university a little later in life; I used to work in tourism & hospitality in Amsterdam. I'm a life-long feminist, and have a bit of retail in my background as well as legal experience." I've been homeless, in a country that wasn't my own. I never saw it coming. It can really wreck your health, the poverty and isolation that goes with it.
@@phoney4387 .....Unhoused is homeless, and homeless is unhoused, and we are all ONE, now what are we gonna do about it?! Not the "same ol', same ol", I hope. It's getting late.
😂😂😂💀 @@uanditopia2239 Yall be talking just to be talking Homeless people couldn't care less what they're called, they're too busy trying to find housing 🤦🏿♀️
Vanessa is one smart lady and a problem solver. I love that she built what works for her and what she needs for her life and did not just follow other builds. Dang impressive. I hope she finds adventure and happiness in her travels.
So proud of you Vanessa. Show everyone that homeless does not mean hopeless or helpless. You rock!! I always say, where their is a will, there is a way!!!
This lady is so talented! This would be the van I would want built out for me with lots of clothing storage for sure. It's a very well planned and aesthetically pleasing space.
I am really loving Vanessa attitude her personality is so engaging. I love the fact that she loves thrifting as I do as well but mostly she was determined to make Treasure into a home and it’s a beautiful one at that. Yellow is such a beautiful color representing sunshine and happiness. What a beautiful color choice
Awesome!!!!! Vanessa, my family and I were homeless from Jan 02,2022 till June 25th, 2022 when my husband fell at least 8 ft down to his pavement below. He had to have emergency brain surgery to the speech center of his brain and he is still in the hospital now. Great news is me and our kids are now renting a brand new house never rented before.
Jesus I pray this new YEAR JUST BRINGS YOU PEACE AND HEALING🙏🏾 you are loved and appreciated! Thank you soo much for sharing your testimony! Your life is going to continue to change for the better!! God is with You!!
What an amazing woman! She’s made her van look bigger than it actually is. I love the color scheme with the bright yellow. I like the idea of not having a designated bed. Overall, I love this van!
I love her energy! She stated for us to tell her if she is doing great…..Your positive energy, kind way, excellent decorating technique, intelligence and just a good happy person attitude answers that question. I know people that live in big homes that don’t even smile. The joy isn’t in the material things, it is in the persons soul! You have a wonderful soul! Continue being you, and the road is all yours! You are truly an inspiration to us all! God bless you sweet lady! I’m so damn proud of you! 😊👍😺👍
I owned that make for a transportation business but it was a Club 350, meaning, it ad comfortable seats and carpet. If Vanessa keeps the maintenance up, it will last her for years. I drove my van 70 miles, 6 days a week, for 18 years and sold it for K2. Same motor, and the same transmission. Continue to be blessed.
This lady has a beautiful story, attitude and van. It was nice of her to share her struggle and triumphs. She is articulate and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you Tiny Homes for bringing her to us via RUclips :).
The best van life interview I've seen in RUclips. Absolutely love her energy, humbleness, calmness, and her story. God has blessed you and continues to do so.
Not having a bathroom is what keeps me for van life. I could do bus life, theres room for a real bathroom and a small shower. I absolutely love your color scheme!
Ive been looking at vanlife videos for some years now. Yea, some ppl started off with a bucket & dounut to sit on filled with some kitty litter as a toilet in the back corner lol.. It gets easier to think out the box when u live minimally in the beginning then u start upgrading to better things or even for you a better spacious vehicle which is a bus for a bathroom/shower. The only thing with me is wheeling around the bus itself lol...l wanna stay smaller with the van 😊
Agree. Could not do a bucket in such a small space and the next question is: how does she bathe? And she says she cooks and cans yet I did not see a stove or cook area in this video. Will try to find more of her vids. I agree with judyivie, I could live in a bus much easier but would not want to drive the monster.
What a beautiful, positive soul! This is the definition of making a lot from a little! I think she used the word 'love' at least 100 times, which just demonstrates her grateful spirit. All the best to this Queen!
She is so inspirational to me. I am staying focused on my dream no matter what I'm going through. Another person who is beyond inspirational to me is David Goggins. His book "Can't Hurt Me" (got from library) was amazing & I've ordered his new book #NeverFinished I can't wait to read. He's amazing! So true right, we are truly never finished. Storms & Rainbows. Stay strong & hang in there Tyreek 💜🙏
Walk in to a church and let the lord guide you and release all that trouble to him it could be a step forward O” just a relief to have hope🤝May your guiding angel walk beside you and every decision and good thoughts to a better day🙌🌞🌻 the world is big enough to move forward in life just ask the lord for that better days to come ahead🙌 seek that positive energy and go forward” I wish you the best on those better days cause good could be posible🫶🏾🙌🌻🎊🎉
@@accessdenied9105 I'm homeless. I built up the courage went to a church hungry and thirsty. They let me leave hungry and thirsty. The Deacon told me to go see the Catholic church. That was September 7th. The church is a racquet that no longer represents Jesus Christ.

Well Vanessa, seems to me you have MORE than made lemonade out of a difficult life of lemons! You absolutely are a creative, can-do person and you should be very proud of what you've accomplished with your van home! I really appreciate your decor style and attention to detail, too. I wish you nothing but continued success and happiness in your journey; time to visit other states!
Wow Sistah! You’ve inspired me! I’ve been considering tiny living and just recently van life and thought I didn’t have the carpentry skills to make it happen! I’m learning, and you just showed me what God can do! Congratulations, and may the Lord continue to bless and keep you! I’m headed over to your channel now!
My mom and I love your van! We are originally from the Houston area also and we are both so proud of you! By the grace of God you were set free and delivered from the things that held you back. You’ve done a great job decorating and building out your van. Hold strong. God bless and keep you always.🌷
This woman's faith and testimony is phenomenal! She believed enough in her dream not to give up and she's living life how she wants. Life isn't always about the fastest car or the biggest house...it's your world how do you choose to live in it Happy 😊
This is genius! What an excellent attitude Vanessa has…and her vivid yellow is to die for!! Fair play to her for her ingenuity and for getting herself out of homelessness. Best wishes to her for the future, she’s so upbeat and inspiring!
Vanessa is incredible! She is so creative and positive! Treasure is a stunning van, and Vanessa has definitely got the absolute most out of this build that she possibly could!
I love her vibes and yellow everywhere. I sent it to a friend of mine who's absolutely crazy about yellow and she loved it too. I'm so happy for Vanessa making her dreams come true and being free from depression and living her best van life! :)
That mattress she lays on the floor of her van is probably much more comfortable than it actually looks. I had a similar folding cushion that I used to use when I visited my daughter's house, and that foam, if it is the same type that I had, is very supportive and very comfortable. She is also so artistic and has such a sense of style.
I'm blown away with your sincerity in sharing your incredible journey. Oh my goodness 😱 you have inspired me even more to do this too. You go girl 😊 woo hoo 🙌 God was certainly listening to you in your prayers 🙏 I'm smiling 😁 from ear to ear. Heart 💖 bursting with joy for you beautiful soul 💙 Blessings and love always for you 💛🌟💛🌟💛
Oh Vanessa I am so happy for you of all your accomplishments, your van is fabulous and the cards on the roof are so creative. I absolutely love your head scarf, you have wrapped it like a top hat. It is obvious that you are surrounded by the things that make you happy. So glad of your faith to sustain you day by day. Be safe on the roads! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
You have a designers eye for sure Vanessa, my initial reaction was “it must be awesome to afford a designer” your story is truly proof of Gods love and faithfulness. I pray for continued joy and peace.
Vanessa - this is incredible!!! You should consider doing your own channel about this as an outreach to people who need a place to live and how you did it. You make a fabulous speaker too! Sending love and light!
I am simply humbled & inspired by her! I feel uplifted and...Vanessa gives you strength seeing & actually following her vibes just by telling her story! Thanks Vanessa! MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING YOU!
She mentioned at the end that she does have her own channel! Also, if you scroll down far enough in the drop down, her You Tube channel, Instagram, etc are listed!
On a street reading it every year we were homeless until we decided to move into a van 5 years ago, now we enjoy it and love it and I've definitely grown into different ideas through the years
You are such an inspirational woman. So strong, capable, adventurous, optimistic and very funny. Watching your video was an absolute joy 😊 Thank you for brightening my day!
This is my girl. I am so proud of you Vanessa. You do such great work. I still think about that kitchen. Vanessa remolded her friends kitchen...It looked like someone professionals did it. Vanessa missed her calling. Very gifted❣

Omg i love her! Just the fact that she has her greeting cards from her viewers speaks volumes about the huge heart she has. I have subscribed to her channel just now. God bless her! 🙏
Thanks so much I appreciate everything my subscribers have done for me I am very grateful. I couldn’t have done it without them. Almost all of the items in my van from the solar, to the decor, door racks and more were gifted to me by my subscribers.
@@hearingeyes9129 IF your eyes hear than your ears see, so you must know that if Vanessa fails to continue making Bren feel that way, then Bren gets something even better. The opportunity to grow.
THIS. This is how you do thrifty style. The pops of yellow! The DIY pillows! The LAMINATED ACCENTS. So useful, so affordable, so genius! She won the game!
I love her self-respect, poise and pride. She enunciates in a way that says, “I know I am somebody.” This woman is truly blessed.
Wow thank you for your kind words
God bless you I am so glad I watched your video, for some reason I just cried, but make no mistake, they were happy tears, you now live in my heart, I admire your strength, courage, determination, and love for the lord, continue to live your now life, and let the toxic past be what it was, I've been there, and sometimes it gets lonely, but I know I'm never alone! Much love and respect Kathy Taylor, (veteran U S Air Force)
Bless you my Dear! Proud of you!
You have good taste. I like your video.😊
yes
What a smart, creative, wonderful woman. I love videos about people overcoming obstacles. We see so many privileged van-lifers who had huge amounts of money, help, and resources for a build. This lady did it on her own, on a budget, and it reflects her individuality. Brava!
Black women always do
💯
WOW! I have seen hundreds of Van-Life builds over the last 10 years, but she's right, I've never seen anyone partition a whole side of their van to build that much closet space. That is Awesome! Way to go Vanassa! I'll be checking out your channel for sure. Thanks for the tour of your lovely home 🙂
What a beautiful Van Build.You have the best. I watch a number of VANS .You have a wonderful attitude to life. This was a joy to watch.

The closet I’ve seen is Janelle Eliana’s giant, pull out closet under her bed. This one was truly unique.
Thank you for NOT chopping up her dialogue. Thought process is so important for pro’s and cons. I loved hearing her testimony and I’m moved by her Faith and joy! I love her color scheme. The large plant is something you never see in a van, but it made an efficient divider for a little privacy. I’ll definitely subscribe to her. As a canner myself, I’m thrilled that she made space to can! I’ve watched thousands of builds and never seen a canner!!! ✌🏼💜
Great video and well put together
@MiMi SeeYou…Her time and your response is what it’s all about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ love love love isn’t authentic beautiful babe!!!
She has such a calming voice!! After all she's been through!! This woman should make anti-stress tapes to listen to before bedtime!
She could be a paid professional organizer & designer ! I’d hire her even now ! She’s so resourceful & she does it on a budget !! Love it 🫶🏾👌🏾
Yes I am lol 😂
You have it going on!!
. you could decorate for people!!!!
Congratulations on your journey. Lord knows you deserve to be happy 😁😁
Factual!!!!!!!!!
Exactly my thoughts! I need to save rhis video for storage and decorating ideas on a budget!
@@VANESSASCHICFRUGALLIFE I’m inspired!
So much good energy! 🙌🏾 Love seeing more Black women shown doing van life too. I really appreciate her story & hearing more from people that moved into a van out of necessity as opposed to just curiosity-showing the full spectrum of tiny living & van life! 💗 It also reinforces the fact that van life/tiny living really reflects the priorities of the individual-3 closets & a foldable bed isn’t something I’ve ever seen before. Definitely gonna look her up on social media!
Thanks so much!!

@@IUSTITA lol 😂 I am in Nevada now Tiny Home Tours put all my information in the description box below ⬇️
@@VANESSASCHICFRUGALLIFE God bless. I love Nevada.
So true I did vanlife in Michigan for two years best years of my life.
I’ve been homeless majority of my life, including when I was a child living with my mother and siblings- I’m currently still homeless, but I have worked myself to the bone and hopefully in a few weeks I will be purchasing my van home- thank you for sharing this story because not every van lifer tells the ugly truth as to why they are van lifers. Homelessness is truly a problem even more so than ever that the government refuses to do anything about and I think having a van home can be the perfect solution- beautiful my spirit sister.🥰
Meant to say beautiful van, my spirit sister 🥰
Maybe get a job instead of watching RUclips on an expensive phone. You have no pride and no drive in life. A life of seeking out handouts will definitely keep you poor
@@rayden1231 Hope y now, you're well.on your way o.purching and remodeling your new home on wheels

You are doing wonderfully well 🎉😂
This is an inspiring narrative. We hope to see more like this.
Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
@@Florencecoxx I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@izagdlife That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my consultant. I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards. He has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. I basically follow his trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so.
@@Florencecoxx You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe..?
@Queen OF Love This is the Fourth time I'm seeing someone talking about Mr Gary as there are lot of testimonies about him, do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him?
I totally love this story.. I was homeless in 2015-2018. It’s 2023 and I’m typing this comment from my brand new home.
God is good.. to those finding one’s self in a situation don’t give up!
This is very inspiring

I'm so happy for you!!!🤗
I was sitting here totally sad with not having a place to call mines and this video showed up on my news feed. I wasn't going to watch it thinking I would not have any energy to care because I'm ready for my own too... BUT after watching this I literally started crying feeling a sense of hope that God has not forgotten about me and I too will soon be able to have a testimony like y'all. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏💓
Congratulations on your home now.. This is wonderful!! Yes agreed 💯 God is good. We've all been through our tough times but God is there. It's all about his timing. You keep shining.
Her van is like it was built in an Arts & Crafts class. I love it!
She is the embodiment of positive thinking. 💗
We agree! :)
Annnnd proof that if you have a goal and put the work i NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Vanessa, You are a true inspiration ❤️

Wow ! She's living stress free. But where does she park when sleeping. What about safety?
🌷🌸🌺
Her skin is so flawless !!!!!!!!!
This lady has a great flare and style, and the work she did on her house is so tasteful and cheerful.
Yes!
Really nice!
Yes
She is so ingenious! Those flexible/sliding closet doors she devised are such a brilliant idea!
I really liked when they were open too showing all the nice organization and soft sided storage bins. SO CUTE. Tidiness is godliness. I love her ideas and open helpful personality
Right!!!
Awe shoot girl. Her van is like tiny rays of sunshine 😄❤️ Great job and testimony. May The Most High keep carrying you ❤️🙌🏾
Thanks honey
I am sorry I am concerned about your neck please go get it checked out
Why did you comment that under this positive comment? Rhetorical question. No need to respond.
You go get your neck checked out. YOU really need to.
She had the will and found the way! So proud of her and for her! I love the colors she chose, they go perfect together! She has finally made the life for herself that she longed for! Sending nothing but good vibes and happiness your way!
Thank you that really means a lot to me that my van and life give people hope and good vibes
This is remarkable. Her van looks really good. I've never seen a van that is filled with a lot of style. She is doing great.
I agree... I'm so happy for her..
Nobody would believe how nice that van is on the inside. You have classy taste and are very intelligent. So sorry you were homeless for ten years. Glad I found you on here. Glad you now have a home and even a social life. Amazing!
When you give your vehicle a name that is when you know you have a special bond. Hope that van will stay and keep her sheltered for many years.
Wow! It was meant for her to have that van!!! I’m so happy for her! It looks great! She’s very creative and knows how to save $$
Thanks you
That's something I have been thinking about doing you look good you are glowing you have given me ideas for my studio apartment love you my sister
She can start an entrepreneur biz to help ppl transition/build for Van Life…🔥 loved her spirit…she never gave up…and she looks like she has a piece of mind…❤
Yes! A Vanlifer who has more than 5 items of clothes. I like how she decorates to lift her spirits, with the cheerful yellow and cards on the ceiling.
She is such a beautiful energizing positive and brilliant person! Such a breath of fresh air and so much perspective. I love that you connected us to her YT channel in the description as well 😊
Thank you so much your kind words really mean alot to me.
I love that she created an actual home and not just a van she happens to sleep in. I've never seen a van done this homey and comfortable.
Vanessa, how can we donate to you? You are amazing, GOD bless you and continue to call on Our FATHER you have a calling.
She had managed to pack an entire mini house into that van. So much stuff and well organized. I wish her happy, peaceful, traveling!
Very nice simple build.
I’m more impressed with the builds where the person builds it simple, cheap and by themselves
She did a great job 👍
I love that, “Get rid of stuff when it does nothing for you.” So true on that. You inspire me to go through my things and just let go. I love your story and so happy for you. Your van makes me so happy. I love your color scheme. I’m going to show this video to my daughter because her dream is to have a van like yours to go travel with her friends. Thank you for sharing your story and your wisdom.
I will pray for you to keep on going. 🙏🏼🧚🏽🦋🌿💕
I purge and clean all the time it seems like my life revolves around cleaning. I’m glad I inspired you and you got something out of my van tour.
This video makes me so emotional. I was also homeless in Houston for about a year, living in my car and hotels. I also suffer from depression. I too have just discovered van life, and I am interested to try. and all I can say I’m so inspired by her journey. Thank you for sharing ❤.
Hi C Lrae, you know God is not a respecter of persons. He will gladly provide for you just as he has for Vanessa. Most importantly He wants a personal relationship with you which is only possible through His Son, Jesus Christ. once you make that decision then you just cast all your care on Him because He Cares for you. God is so awesome. He is our only Hope that will not disappoint. God loves you beyond your wildest imagination. Simply Trust HIM
you did a remarkable job creating this van, it is beautiful!
Thank you so much😢
Very inspirational I am actually homeless same situation growing up , battling depression and anxiety no family support. This has me wanting to find a van and start my own journey. Thank you for your inspiration.
Best of luck

You can do it! There is nothing we can’t do when Jesus is on our side.
I hope you achieve this and more. Blessings!❤
Beautiful story. I definitely teared up when she did. She deserves everything good.
Thanks for your warm thoughts.
Vanessa, you are an absolute delight. You radiate positivity and have such such a great vibe about yourself. You exude perseverance and determination and most of all, SUCCESS! As a woman, what you have achieved is such an accomplishment, and I would LOVE to congratulate you on what you’ve done for yourself. You should be so very proud. I also think, as a woman myself, it is so very important that women build other woman up. We should be lifting each other up in prayer, in positivity and in praise. We women struggle for any real recognition in the “big world” so whenever we can build each other up, I think it’s important to do so. I’d love to send you an item on your Amazon wish list. How do I get to your link to do so? Thank you, and please continue to be such a ray of light and an inspiration to ALL women!! You rock!
She is so grateful for everything she has. What a positive, beautiful woman.
Her story touched my heart. I sold all I owned and moved away to a whole new place and lived happily in a tent. Until God blessed me with a camper and my own small business. He is always on time!
You sound like a strong person.
Her story is so inspiring. I love her decorating style too. I appreciate how folks can show us how we can still look cute amd stylish on a budget.
Yes you can I love the thrift store in Houston
She has done such a beautiful job designing her van!!! It's so stunning!!! I pray she is always safe, cozy , and happy in her precious home on wheels. May she always stay blessed!!! ❤️
Yes God will be protecting her
H-town represent! My goodness, she is beyond lovely. Absolutely love her spirit and how she infused a bit of her personality into her build. She brings the sunshine with her wherever she goes! Wishing her and Treasure all the best in life.
It’s amazing how a color scheme like this really reduces the feeling of clutter. Great job, she’s just so impressive. And those pine pellets are a revelation to me!
I absolutely agree with You ❤.
Pine Pellets. Revealing to me also. She's clever.
What a true sunshine she is !!!! She is an amazing woman with a great testimony!!! Lord keep continuing to bless her and keep her safe and well. She is your faithful daughter. What a gift she is to this world
That's such a beautiful story about how you found Treasure! As a formerly unhoused person myself, I can really appreciate that lovely, comforting feeling of ~°HOME°~
Congrats on creating a sanctuary that gives you all positivity and joy you deserve!
"unhoused"? Homeless is offensive now?🤦🏿♀️😂
@@phoney4387 Phoney, the word "homeless" carries a big burden, yes.
My channel bio says (keep reading):
"I am a geologist and marine biogeochemist (earth & life science) from a prosperous egalitarian country (the Netherlands). At the end of 2004, I moved to England. That was only supposed to have been for a few years. I’ve previously lived in the US (Florida).
Among other things, I've served as board member for the Environmental Chemistry (and Toxicology) Section of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society, member of board and committees for a foundation for women in science and technology, and as associate editor for the US-based Geochemical Society.
I've published books about the new eugenics (bioethics) and about otherisation, written about violence against women and children as well as about science & technology. I know a bit about rehabbing wild birds. I went to university a little later in life; I used to work in tourism & hospitality in Amsterdam. I'm a life-long feminist, and have a bit of retail in my background as well as legal experience."
I've been homeless, in a country that wasn't my own. I never saw it coming. It can really wreck your health, the poverty and isolation that goes with it.
@@phoney4387 .....Unhoused is homeless, and homeless is unhoused, and we are all ONE, now what are we gonna do about it?! Not the "same ol', same ol", I hope. It's getting late.
😂😂😂💀 @@uanditopia2239 Yall be talking just to be talking Homeless people couldn't care less what they're called, they're too busy trying to find housing 🤦🏿♀️
Vanessa is one smart lady and a problem solver. I love that she built what works for her and what she needs for her life and did not just follow other builds. Dang impressive. I hope she finds adventure and happiness in her travels.
This is by far one of the most unique van builds I've seen. Wonderful job!
I love how you have the living and kitchen area separate, it's a perfect little home
I wasn't keen on the van being so constricted until I heard her story.It's just great to see that she now has a pretty home that she can call her own.
Are they winters cold there
So amazing story God bless you.
So proud of you Vanessa. Show everyone that homeless does not mean hopeless or helpless. You rock!! I always say, where their is a will, there is a way!!!
What a wonderful spirit this lady has! I love her humor and humility about hoarding. It's wonderful how she's made a life for herself.
This lady is so talented! This would be the van I would want built out for me with lots of clothing storage for sure. It's a very well planned and aesthetically pleasing space.
Thank you
I am really loving Vanessa attitude her personality is so engaging. I love the fact that she loves thrifting as I do as well but mostly she was determined to make Treasure into a home and it’s a beautiful one at that. Yellow is such a beautiful color representing sunshine and happiness. What a beautiful color choice
Awesome!!!!! Vanessa, my family and I were homeless from Jan 02,2022 till June 25th, 2022 when my husband fell at least 8 ft down to his pavement below. He had to have emergency brain surgery to the speech center of his brain and he is still in the hospital now. Great news is me and our kids are now renting a brand new house never rented before.
Jesus I pray this new YEAR JUST BRINGS YOU PEACE AND HEALING🙏🏾 you are loved and appreciated! Thank you soo much for sharing your testimony! Your life is going to continue to change for the better!! God is with You!!
Praise God🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏
Amen. God will provide.
@@nessapariss Amen.
Congratulations 🎊 and God Bless
What an amazing woman! She’s made her van look bigger than it actually is. I love the color scheme with the bright yellow. I like the idea of not having a designated bed. Overall, I love this van!
I love her energy! She stated for us to tell her if she is doing great…..Your positive energy, kind way, excellent decorating technique, intelligence and just a good happy person attitude answers that question. I know people that live in big homes that don’t even smile. The joy isn’t in the material things, it is in the persons soul! You have a wonderful soul! Continue being you, and the road is all yours! You are truly an inspiration to us all! God bless you sweet lady! I’m so damn proud of you! 😊👍😺👍
This woman is a GENIUS. God bless her! What an inspirational build ❤️
I hope that Van lasts her for YEARS & YEARS 🙏❤️🤩
Me too thanks
I owned that make for a transportation business but it was a Club 350, meaning, it ad comfortable seats and carpet. If Vanessa keeps the maintenance up, it will last her for years. I drove my van 70 miles, 6 days a week, for 18 years and sold it for K2. Same motor, and the same transmission. Continue to be blessed.
Yes lord, Amen 💰💰
This lady has a beautiful story, attitude and van. It was nice of her to share her struggle and triumphs. She is articulate and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you Tiny Homes for bringing her to us via RUclips :).
The best van life interview I've seen in RUclips. Absolutely love her energy, humbleness, calmness, and her story. God has blessed you and continues to do so.
Not having a bathroom is what keeps me for van life. I could do bus life, theres room for a real bathroom and a small shower. I absolutely love your color scheme!
Dear lady.... Your just amazing!
Ive been looking at vanlife videos for some years now. Yea, some ppl started off with a bucket & dounut to sit on filled with some kitty litter as a toilet in the back corner lol.. It gets easier to think out the box when u live minimally in the beginning then u start upgrading to better things or even for you a better spacious vehicle which is a bus for a bathroom/shower. The only thing with me is wheeling around the bus itself lol...l wanna stay smaller with the van 😊
Agree. Could not do a bucket in such a small space and the next question is: how does she bathe? And she says she cooks and cans yet I did not see a stove or cook area in this video. Will try to find more of her vids. I agree with judyivie, I could live in a bus much easier but would not want to drive the monster.
@@kimbok5971 You must have either stepped or looked away for a minute. She uncovered a complete stove hun...pls watch again (2:44-46) 😊
Where does she shower everything is so nice live it
I'm only a minute in, but I can tell that Vanessa and her van our both treasures! 💛
Your comment was so sweet I cried and I needed that😊
They truly are.
What a charming lady. She had me after she told her story of being homeless, losing her vehicles, and then finding "Treasure."🤩
What a beautiful, positive soul! This is the definition of making a lot from a little! I think she used the word 'love' at least 100 times, which just demonstrates her grateful spirit. All the best to this Queen!
Been homeless now for about 6 months but looking into van life myself. I can't wait to start my journey.
All the best!
God bless you ❤

Good luck to you on your journey 🦋

My mom and I love your van! We are originally from the Houston area also and we are both so proud of you! By the grace of God you were set free and delivered from the things that held you back. You’ve done a great job decorating and building out your van. Hold strong. God bless and keep you always.🌷
This woman's faith and testimony is phenomenal! She believed enough in her dream not to give up and she's living life how she wants. Life isn't always about the fastest car or the biggest house...it's your world how do you choose to live in it Happy 😊

Go Vanessa, may GOD continue to bless and keep you always.
You're talented, a leader, mentor, an adventurer and strong.
She appears to be so happy. And she did an excellent job building out her van. Very creative and ingenious
I love her vibes and yellow everywhere. I sent it to a friend of mine who's absolutely crazy about yellow and she loved it too. I'm so happy for Vanessa making her dreams come true and being free from depression and living her best van life! :)
She did a wonderful job with the van! What a positive person!
That mattress she lays on the floor of her van is probably much more comfortable than it actually looks. I had a similar folding cushion that I used to use when I visited my daughter's house, and that foam, if it is the same type that I had, is very supportive and very comfortable.
She is also so artistic and has such a sense of style.
The WORLD needs more of her. Everything about her is beyond great ❤❤
