Bacon's Get Home from Peru Fund
Donation protected
We want "Bring home the Bacon!" HE IS STILL STUCK IN PERU! It's a magical place, but the coronavirus has brought it to a stand still like anywhere else. The pandemic is showing itself in South America now. They are a few weeks behind us. Thomas had an emergency surgery, so he had to extend his trip. After his recovery, they declared a pandemic in the US and closed the Peruvian borders. He is under a police enforced lockdown and locals are not happy he is around. Peruvians are awesome people from what I hear, but some are upset that foreigners may have brought the virus in or may be infected. He is healthy! He is traveling alone and does not speak spanish well at all. This situation is ok for now, but could escalate quickly. Local people in Peru are trying to get food and some are desperate already. Thomas is a super friendly guy. Poor guy has been to the hospital three times since he left Feb 29th in South America. Brutal! His goal for the trip was to surf Chicama and dance on the equator. The surf was good, but thankfully he is stuck in Peru over Ecuador. I have been watching the situation there closely. You guys know Thomas. This trip was for him to reset. Clear his mind and bring that everlasting positivity back home to give it back to people coming through the shop. Please help bring him home. I am going to the next level after his third round of flights since lockdown was cancelled. When he gets a chance, we are pushing him to book a flight no matter the cost. People are paying astronomical prices, some are getting government flights. He has received multiple emails from the US Embassy with no way out. They just say keep checking your email. Let's rally. Please contact me or Jax Surf & Paddle with any help or please donate. 100% is for him to book a flight and help him get home. Thank you for considering. His family and work family need him back home safe.
