Hi everyone,

I’m Jayden, and I’m reaching out because I need help getting back home to California from Berlin.

I’ve spent the past months trying to make things work here in Germany, but it’s become clear that returning home is the right next step for me. Even though I’ve truly tried to build a life here, the language barrier has made it extremely difficult to find stable work, which is a big reason why I need to return home. California is where my support system is, and being closer to family will help me reset and move forward.

My goal is to raise, to cover:

• My flight home on March 16

• Moving and travel-related expenses

• Basic costs to get settled

Asking for help isn’t easy, but any support — whether through a donation or by sharing this page — truly means the world to me.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

— Jayden
