After launching in June, Lava Mae, the mobile shower that travels around the city in a retrofitted Muni bus, has launched an IndieGoGo campaign to fund a second vehicle. Founder Doniece Sandoval conceived of the roving washroom to help homeless people get a basic service without having to travel to public showers, of which there are only about 16 for a homeless population in the thousands. Sandoval is seeking $75,000 to get the new bus up and running, which could happen as soon as February. [IndieGoGo; SFGate]
