“My name is Indigo Kelly; my wife is Pacha; my daughters are Nadia Theresa and Samantha Keona.
About two years ago my family became homeless. Our blood family turned their backs on us and abandoned us. We were no longer living up to their standards.
It was painful, but from that experience we began to find our soul family and Red Road Revival was born. Red Road Revival is my family’s attempt to give back, to be of service and to heal ourselves and others.
We have been traveling the country living out of our vehicle, pulling a trailer around, feeding people for free or for donations at every stop. This movement runs completely off of donations.
It’s been two years since we were able to be comfortable, to rest or just be. But that’s OK ‘cause truly being of service is not easy. We suffer so others do not have to. We go without so others do not have to.
When this journey first started Pacha and I had a vision of traveling the country in a veggie oil powered bus with solar panels and a kitchen, enough room that we never had to turn someone down for a ride.
We wanted to create a mobile community, a caravan that would help raise awareness to issues each community we stopped at were facing. We wanted to be able to help combat those issues and truly make a difference through the collective power of this tribe. We wanted to hold sacred space where people felt safe to open up and share their hearts or release their pain. We never want people to feel alone or useless again.
We were gifted a bus in California that is everything we have ever dreamed of. The bus needs some repairs to get it roadworthy. It will give others hope and help propel this movement to the next level: it will also give us a home. Something we have been longing for.
When people ask why we do this and why we put ourselves through this, I say we are healing ourselves, healing issues of abandonment, healing issues of not feeling worthy of love because of the people that look down on us.
Each soul we help, each mouth we feed, each structure we build, every garden we plant, every tear that is shed on our shoulders is a step toward healing.
We cannot do this alone: we need people to stand up with us, reach inside and pull their light out and let it shine.
We will do everything we can to get to this bus in California and back on the road but, we need donations to cover gas, repairs, insurance on our current vehicle, food and supplies for those we come across on this journey.” Donate at https://www.gofundme.com/yuz0gk/
