A Father in Debt After Years Searching for His Son — Please Help Me Recover
I HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR HELP!!
Hello, my name is David Robinson. I am the father of Daniel Robinson, a geologist who went missing on June 23, 2021, after leaving a job site in the Arizona desert. From that day forward, my life became consumed by one thing—finding my son and demanding answers.
For nearly five years, I searched relentlessly. I organized and personally funded dozens of desert searches, traveled repeatedly to Arizona, followed thousands of leads, distributed flyers nationwide, and conducted my own investigation when systems failed us. I sacrificed stability, savings, and normalcy because no parent can walk away from their missing child.
Those years of searching came at a devastating personal cost.
I have taken on the financial burden on my own. I used my savings, credit, retirement resources, and every available means to search for Daniel. As a result, I am now carrying overwhelming debt tied directly to those efforts, including travel, lodging, equipment, printing, transportation, and living expenses that I postponed or put on credit while searching. The financial damage did not end when the searches slowed; it followed me home.
This fundraiser is separate and is not to finance ongoing search operations or advocacy work.
It is a direct request for help to recover from the financial hardship and debt created by years of doing everything a father could to find his son.
The weight of this debt has affected my ability to move forward, regain stability, and rebuild my life. I am asking for help—not because I stopped caring, but because I have reached a point where I cannot carry this burden alone any longer.
Your donation goes toward:
* Paying down debt accumulated during years of searching
* Catching up on essential living expenses
* Regaining financial stability after years of sacrifice
If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or offering words of support still makes a meaningful difference. Every act of kindness helps lift a weight that has grown too heavy to bear alone.
Thank you for seeing me, not just as an advocate or a headline, but as a father who gave everything he had and is now asking for help to recover.
With gratitude,
David Robinson II
Father of Geologist Daniel Robinson
