Hello everyone,

My name is T-Rex, and I’m setting up this campaign on behalf of my friend Shane Reynolds to help cover travel and lodging expenses so he can attend the 2026 meetup and live event at Dollywood, hosted by The Expert, a YouTuber Shane has followed for over two years.

Shane lives in Australia and has been an active part of The Expert’s online community for a long time. Through late-night (or mid-day for him!) Discord chats, Shane has built genuine friendships with many of us. This trip would be his first opportunity to come to Knoxville, Tennessee, and finally meet the people he’s grown close to online.

The goal of $3,000 will go toward:

• International travel

• Lodging

• Basic transportation costs related to the event

This is something Shane has been looking forward to for a long time, and we would love to help make it possible for him to join us in person and be part of this special experience.

If you’re able to contribute or share, we’re incredibly grateful. Thank you for helping make this long-awaited trip a reality.

Important transparency note:

This campaign is being set up by a friend on Shane’s behalf. All donations go directly to Shane Reynolds and will be used solely for his travel and lodging expenses related to this trip.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
