Bring Pham Home Its only 6000 miles

Donation protected
As most of you know Pham and Mike moved to Hawaii this past September, Pham had scored a decent job out here and figured they would work their way into retiring on the island. So they packed up, gave away almost 100% of their material goods and shipped their car to Hawaii. With Pham resigning at her job for Ocean County the lump sum buyout of her pension funded their journey to the Island, paid for the loss that was taken on their house and enabled them to reduse debt.  These were all positive things at the time because they were going to be living a simple life. Mike had some trouble finding work but the money from selling his car held him over for the few weeks. Finally Mike scored a job at Macy's as a Janitor for 9.25 Hr. It was fine, simple lives need simple things.  They were off to a great start, MIke also made friends in the skateboard community here.  If you didn't see Mike on thrashermagazine.com in the TIRED video check it out.

Now back to their Story

Little did Pham know that the island where the job was located had an Active Volcano (which you've seen on the news) and a side affect to an active Volcano is VOG. Vog is volcanic smog it doesn't really affect everyone just people who have Asthma and Allergies which Pham has both severely. It was manageable for the first few months, lately it's been something bad! They have made 2 emergency room visits and numerous doctor visits just to try and get her breathing under control. Ultimately the decision has been made that they must journey back to New Jersey and start life over one more time.

With all that being said, THEY NEED SOME HELP!
 
It is a costly mission to try and get back to New Jersey and start living a healthy life for Pham and Mike.   Along with money it takes a ton of prep work to move across the ocean and United States car shipping alone takes minimum 21 days. They also have to give Ample notice to their landlord who put them on a month to month and their current employers. So if you can help AWESOME, if you can't put any money in please help by sharing the link via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all social media. They are in a very weird spot and it is not like them to ask for help or donations. 

Mike agreed that anyone who donates over $200, he will give a day of labor to.
