About L2L

Lumber2Living first orginated by a lady that was at the end of her struggles with mental health and the only way she felt could solve her suffering was to end everything. She was homeless, no family or friends she could trust to understand and didnt think she was worth anyone wasteing their time helping her. For the final place she thought to find solis, was in a scrap caravan an old farm yard in the middle of know where. The farm yard was covered with old treasures, horded by the farmer and aging logs used for the farm house fire. To furnish and repair the old and cold caravan she was given, she found old tools and started to make furniture created in a stable on the farm. This was the start of her mental health recovery. The meaning of making something out of things that were deemed unloved, surplussed to requirements because of its current state and unsalvageable by people that coud not appreciate or see what else it could be with a bit of care and attention. Creating these things for herself gave her a sense of hope and faith in herself that she, although she was unwanted, unneeded and damaged to be useful in society to anyone, she could make things that resembled her state into something meaningful and beautiful that people would go out of their way to show their appreciation for it creative reformation. People that visited the farm yard would look in ore at the determination she had to create what she did just to survive in a small scrap caravan.
