The buses Lisa and Megan Donahue transform into tiny homes are more than just a conglomerate of mechanical bits and pieces — they're members of their family.
"We put months into them and end up loving them, so we make sure the people who buy these buses love them just as much as we do," Lisa, 57, told Insider. "And, it's where Michael will go."
Lisa's son and Megan's brother, Michael, died in a motor vehicle accident in 2015 when he was 15 years old. Their company, Live Simply Buses, was created to honor his legacy.
The first bus the Donahues built and sold was named "Gus," a school bus outfitted with white paint and living amenities. Since then, Lisa and Megan have converted 12 buses, including Linus and Agnus.
