Wow! I am floored by the reaction to this video! Thank you Chrome you make me look much better on camera lol Thank you everyone for their kind words, as I mentioned in the video this a great community. I have been in the van 2 months now and there has definitely been some purging, reorganizing and more purging lol I'll try to answer as many of the comments as I can . Thank you all again.!

I want to travel coast to coast (I live on Vancouver Island) so need something like yours for my 2 big dogs, cat, little bunny and me: eating, sleeping, hidey space for kitty--such an awesome idea for kitties!!!

Wow! That lady has got a lot of courage. Getting hit by a triple whammy: personal, financial and the pandemic, and she gets back up and deals with it. I wish you the best, Kelly!

She's wonderful and her resolve should be celebrated. We should also recognize the fact that poverty and insecurity is a systemic feature of the economic system we live under. She works for a Vet who pays her survival wages. He lives in a big house and drives a BMW to work. His worker lives in a minivan which she drives to work. He couldn't make his profits without her. He not only needs her, but also needs her to be poor and desperate for a low paying job. This system has to be overthrown. Capitalism is a backward, irrational system of exploitation for the sake of the rich.

It's really sad to see such kind person, the sadness in her eyes. She look that she passed a lot of bad things. God bless her and good job. You show her van and the same moment gave her the confidence and Confort to be proud of her new life.

She deserves better. Everyone does. She works for a Vet who runs a business. He relies on her and her coworkers to make a profit. He pays them wages which are less than the overall value they produce. He takes the difference and calls it profit. He lives in a big house and drives a BMW to work. His worker lives in a minivan which she drives to work. Capitalism makes use of people for the sake of profit. People deserve better than this.

Most KZreadrs that showcase the ________ of others will do so by making a video about themselves and their own reactions to other's ________. You sir, are different. You don't shove yourself into the story of other people. You make a video about them and their experience. I appreciate that. Not saying I don't enjoy me some Chrome time. Saying I see what you are doing. By NOT putting your face in the video and NOT saying much, if anything, says so much more. Especially coming from you, a person who (I think) enjoys his spotlight time. Good work sir.

He's totally raw and I dig that, he's not fake like some of the glorified channels out there. Thanks for being you Chrome man and Cruzer is a welcoming addition to the family, indeed!!!

And what's about the only bad thing about his channel is he don't read or respond to the comments. He said that himself. He said he scans through them to get out the bad folks and comments that may have foul language but he don't reply or really read them he said. That's a negative thing for me. But I do love the channel and how he is with others and I appreciate his work.

It hurts me to know that she has to live this way because of some setbacks in life but I pray that she receives all the good life has to offer. Go Kelly!

Good for her, taking back her financial freedom..many blessings to her and her fur babies. 🥰

This moved me. God bless you Kelly. I hope the next decade is so much better.

Chrome if you have a way to get in touch with Kelly I’d love to contribute something to help. As a former veterinary assistant I understand completely how the industry is a labour of love. Also she has the most creative cat step up for van life!

Wow, I'm so impressed with Kelley. She's taken the bull by the horns to make a new life for her and her cats. She's likely much stronger than she ever knew. Many years ago, this could have been me. Back then I never even considered living on the road.. it just wasn't a thing. Knowing then what I know now, I definitely would have given it a go. I wish Kelley much healing and peace as she navigates her new life.💜

My father became a Van Lifer when I was 14. I'm 63. He bought a Jewel Tea delivery truck and built himself a great home on wheels. At the time, I didn't realize why he built it, but he lived in it when he and my mother divorced. He was great with tools so he built everything he needed from his bed, cabinets, mini-kitchen, everything. I'd love to live in a van just like he built.

Kelly, you are an amazing and gutsy woman. Good, for you, for not letting a betrayal defeat you despite the financial consequences. Stay positive, move forward, and Very Best Wishes!

Chrome! I’m SO glad to see you doing van tours of more unique builds. There are so many videos of expensive, high-end builds and I think it’s absolutely awesome to show what regular folks on a budget can do, just as creatively and passionately. Her build is so personal and born out of difficult circumstances, shows how you can grab back your independence and turn your life into an adventure instead of a tragedy. Bravo! Hope there are more of these!

I love love love this video, It shows the reality that is life for some of us. Learning to live within your means after live changing situations is hard and hat's off to this lady for her bravery and resilience.

God love her, she's made super use of the space. Cats take up a lot of room...a work in progress but impressed with her conviction. She is a warrior princess, I love her!

Go KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I won't give up on my own life now. Maybe I can do what you're doing, too. Your story, your willingness to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over is VERY INSPIRING!!!!!!!!! You might have saved me.

Way to go, lady! Money in the bank and freedom awaits you! By not crying over spilled milk and taking charge of her life, Kelly is an inspiration! I hope to do a van build to save some money and travel around after my daughter goes off to college. Two years to go...😃 Thank you for sharing, Kelly! Blessings to you on your new adventures 💗

Been in my van for a year. The first couple of nights are weird, but now not living in the van is weird.

Respect for you Chrome letting this awesome Lady tell her story, And respect to Kelly a brave step and moving on xx ATB to you both Stephen UK

That's a really tough thing to go through but sounds like you're coming out of it better off. Your resourcefulness and courage are admirable and your kind spirit shines through. Stay safe and be well.

Thanks for sharing Kelly!

Kelly you are beautiful. Hang in there. I am rockin my mini van with a small dog. Love and blessings to you!

Good for her well done chrome for inspirational videos 👍😊👍

So impressed with you. Love to hear how you are doing later on. Especially how your cats are doing in the new environment. You’re an inspiration to us all

Best of luck, Kelley! Thanks for allowing her to share her story, Chrome.

Kelly thank you for sharing your life. 😊

Nice story - well Done

Kelley Thank you for sharing your story. Blessings to you. Chrome thank you for sharing. Sherry

Prayers for you Kelly, I can relate with what you're going through, but happened to me long before I got into van life, however, you're strong and don't give up, each time time we go through things in life, sets us up for a new and different journey, with hope we don't miss the turn again and don't go back into a similar situation, to keep going forward no matter the struggles, life isn't easy, but to just keep breathing and live a day and a step at a time, tomorrow is never promised, but when tomorrow becomes a new today, it's another new day to live and move on the best we can for each day given. I've made it through all that mess through time, and here I am living like never before too. Van life is also much less stressful too, can start saving more money, and gain back some things little bit by little bit, too, especially the more important things in life, there's always hope in every new day that comes and goes. Blessings to you Kelly, and thanks Chrome for sharing this with compassion too. Be blessed and safe. 💖🤗 Give Cruzzie hugs for me too 😊

Aw, what a GREAT cat mommy! I love her build, especially that natural wood in there. I’d hire her for my next van build! Kelly, may the next chapter in your be the grandest of all.
