There are no wrong answers here. Maybe you’d participate in one of our donation drives, volunteer your time, help another mom in a similar situation someday, or something else entirely. We just love knowing your heart.

SECTION 6 — Recipient Responsibilities. Please read carefully.

​

Our vetting process may involve a brief phone interview. Be prepared to answer the following questions: 

​

Income verification — Do you have a current, stable source of income? (employment, SSI, SSDI, child support, etc.). Approximately how much do you bring in monthly?

 

Budget awareness — Estimated monthly costs for this motorhome include insurance (~$100–$200/mo), lot rental (~$300–$600/mo), and utilities. Are you able to reasonably manage these costs with your current income?

​

☐ Yes ☐ I would need help planning for this

 

Parking confirmation — before awarding, the winner will be required to provide proof of a legal parking location within 30 days or the motorhome goes to the next qualifying applicant.

​

If selected, the recipient agrees to the following:

 

Registration & Title: The recipient is responsible for transferring the title and registering the motorhome in their name with the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles. All associated fees are the responsibility of the recipient.

 

Insurance: The recipient is responsible for obtaining and maintaining valid vehicle insurance on the motorhome as required by the State of Florida.

 

Maintenance & Repairs: All ongoing maintenance, repairs, and upkeep of the motorhome are the sole responsibility of the recipient from the date of transfer.

Condition: The motorhome is donated in as-is condition. Build a Dream makes no warranties regarding the mechanical condition of the vehicle.
