Hello everyone!
First of all I just want to offer a massive heartfelt thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and sent me such supportive messages… it has touched me beyond belief and really given me my drive back to succeed!
I'm also deeply touched by the generosity of those who have offered donations. Your willingness to help a stranger in need has truly humbled me. However, I must humbly decline any further donations. My initial goal was to raise enough for a full tank of diesel to keep me going, and your kindness has surpassed that expectation beyond anything I could have expected. My tank is now full, and I am so, beyond, incredibly grateful for your support.
It is ultimately my fault I am in this situation, and I should have saved money in my savings to be better prepared for this sort of knock, rather than thinking this would never happen to me. Any extra money you have so kindly shared will go to one side and will be invested back in the channel and any other way I can think of to give back to this awesome community.
Thank you so much
NK
Fate has dealt me a harsh blow - I've been laid off just before Christmas. For the first time in 15 years, I find myself unemployed, with little savings and a daunting job market ahead. I need to see through the winter and look for work ASAP to keep this van life dream alive!

Never refuse generosity....it's what God Almighty wants you to have. He saw how brave you were coming forward with your troubles...which is Not easy to do...so when you make that first step God helps pave your way by placing it in your viewers heart's to help because he knows you have a kind and pure Soul. You said you are creative....that's the same remit as you're Heavenly Father. The money you recieve will be to put towards your creative future working for yourself in a business. He knows that when you are financially stable you will help other's. The year 2024 is when people's lives will really take off under our Lord's Blessings. Everyone working for the Greater Good of other's....❤🙏

Hey, hang on in there, you’ll be ok. I’m 57, I was converting my van that I was going to use for the odd weekend away, then I worked out how much rent I’d paid over the last few years and was horrified so I decided to move into my van, next April when my tenancy ends. I thought I’d live in my van and save a couple of years to buy somewhere in Spain or maybe a canal boat. Then, a month ago my job came to an end after 6 1/2 years and like you it’s a bit unfair and I’m a bit stuffed. But, after the anger of what’s happened calm’s down you realise there’s a big open road and you have choice ! Great video !

This came as a shock Alex but companies these days want everything and give nothing. Job descriptions used to mean something a while back but many driving jobs for example want you to drive full time, work in the warehouse when needed and take calls and orders in the office. Anything they want really and it's like it or lump it. Check out the good advice for you, that I've seen in the comments and I am wishing you good luck and a brighter future, if that's possible in these dark times.

They'll be ups and downs, these are the downs but overall what you're doing takes a special character.

Lost my job mid 2000’s. Living in a 3 door VW Golf. No internet. The boredom was mind numbing. Not having a flat place to sleep was terrible. Eventually bought a £300 estate car, it was a game changer. If I’d had the internet instead of books from oxfam for entertainment I’d have been super happy. Managed to get £75 a week helping a mate. Had a few months of it. Not fun at all.

I feel for you mate - stay positive and keep at it! You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders and you have so many diverse skills (especially after your van build). Your barber sounds like an absolute legend as well. Not that it helps much I know, but there are loads of us in a similar boat. Out of all our struggles, if we keep going it usually leads to better roads and it is an ideal time to meet new people to come together. Also Happy Birthday for a weeks time!

So sorry to hear this. Maybe stick to your contracted job next time then they can't abuse your generous, helpful nature. You did right pushing back, they should have been paying you for all the extras. Congrats on getting the channel monetised. Must have missed the competition, congratulations to the winners. How lovely of your barber, there's good people out there 😊 Happy Birthday 🎉❤

A large number of us suffer similar or same at work. Nothing really you did wrong as, like the rest of us, you learn as you go. Don't "make waves" within the first two years as they have to go through a long drawn out process before/if they let you go. Joining a union (even if they are not your thing) is wise as they will offer support and employers will be more wary. At your low points remember many are with you. You are young, bright, have skills and have a good spirit. You'll be fine. btw..first time on your channel..subscribed...I want to see your good progress.

Good luck on the job hunting front 🙏 I was looking for the link for the buy me a coffee but can’t find it in the description?

I am nearly twice your age (Like Tim), I have experienced what you have done with "The One" too many times to mention. Like you I live in a van I have owned a number of properties but equally been homeless of lived in a vehicle (Lock-up / Garage) numerous times over the years, but it Could have been far Worse, at least living in a van makes it harder for you to become homeless, even with no Road TAX, Insurance or MOT You'll be Safe and independent on your Mums drive for a month or few. Good Luck for the future.

The kindness of the barber is just the start, you have youth and health on your side. Don't consider what's happened a set back, consider it a new start a new beginning. Your going to be better for the experience and you did the right thing, irrespective what happens short term even if your not given an opportunity straight away just believe in yourself and it will all come together. I was a whistleblower for a large company and basically accepted a NDA in return for money at the time it seemed the best thing to do in hindsight it wasn't I possibly had the option to rip them to bits and embarras them and possibly receive more financial gain.
