"Livin' In The Getaway" chronicles the extraordinary journey of AJ Wone and his four sons, who found themselves navigating the streets of Los Angeles in a 1996 Ford Expedition for 17 grueling months. Despite car breakdowns on the Las Vegas strip and LA freeways, the constant search for safe parking, and the daily struggles of maintaining dignity while homeless, this family's bond grew stronger with each challenge.
Their blue Expedition became more than just a vehicle - it was their sanctuary, their dining room, their bedroom, and most importantly, the space where they proved that family love can overcome any obstacle.

The four sons - Kedase', Kana, Kiros, and Kumani - represented something remarkable during this 17-month journey. Each brother brought their own strength to their mobile family unit, creating a support system that transformed their challenging situation into something that, at times, felt like an adventure rather than a hardship.
What made this "glorified camping trip" special was its unintended gift: forced proximity that strengthened their brotherhood in ways a normal childhood never could. In the tight quarters of their Ford Expedition, they couldn't retreat to separate rooms during disagreements. They had to learn conflict resolution, patience, and understanding in real-time. The brothers became each other's entertainment, comfort, and strength.
