Our claim is pending. Our bills aren't. 🙃
In April 2025, a fire took everything we had built at Noke Van Co., our campervan business in Roanoke, Virginia.
Our community showed up with GoFundMe donations, T-shirt purchases, and encouragement that helped us keep going. We're still here because people cared.
Now, a year and a half into recovery, we're still working through a long insurance and legal process, and it's taking far longer than we ever imagined.
Through it all, we've kept every one of our employees and kept them paid throughout the recovery. Our team helped build this business, and taking care of them has remained a priority—even when things have been incredibly tight.
We borrowed money to keep our team working and our business alive. Those payments are putting enormous pressure on us. Reopening our doors didn't mean we had recovered.
If you're able, you can now chip in directly—any amount from $25—at the link in our bio. Shirts are there too.
Please share this with as many people as you can—post it to your story, send it to friends, and help us spread the word. Whether you donate, buy a shirt, or simply share our story, you're helping us reach people who could make a real difference.
Thank you for standing with us—through the fire and the long road after it. 🖤
