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 !

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.

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.

For a couple of months get a night shift job in Morrison's supermarket filling shelves. This means you also have free meals and free overnight parking in their car park which means you can sleep in your van through the day anywhere without charge. It's a good wage especially through Christmas and New Year....so in a couple of months you will have saved a huge amount in order to go forward. When one door closes, another opens.

You did the right thing by standing up for yourself with your previous employer. While it may have seemed like it was a hard decision, it will lead to bigger and better opportunities i know this from personal experience. Stay positive, stay safe and keep talking...your mental health depends on it! All the best.

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 🎉❤

I know this might not resonate right now but a lot of us are stuck in the 9-5 grind and dream of living on the edge but dont have the cojones to pull the trigger. You're living it. They'll be ups and downs, these are the downs but overall what you're doing takes a special character. I think the lesson to be learnt is work your way into a position of power before playing russian roulette. I did this at my old job, I made sure they needed me more than i needed them before making ultimatums.

Hi Alex karma works in many ways, this has happened for a reason and the right job will come to you in the end. My son was in a similar position and now he’s found his job and people to work with. It’s a tough old adventure what we call life whether in a house or van. Stay true to yourself and positive, let go of all anger and negativity and you will reap the rewards.

You may be able to find temporary work in a pub/restaurant over Christmas and you’ll find the job will keep you busy whilst you apply for other jobs. Just blag the experience from a pub somewhere in your past. Other staff will help you if you ask them. The future will appear bleak for now but it will improve, I’m twenty years older and have come through similar just recently, all the best

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.
