I'm Bridger, and genuinely I think this is the first truly important thing I've done in my entire life.

A couple of weeks ago, my van broke down in the middle of a national park. A complete stranger—an Air Force helicopter mechanic named August, who just happened to be there—spent hours helping us get back on the road. He even drove my friend 30 minutes each way to get parts and refused to leave until he knew we'd make it out safely.

That kind of unexpected kindness stuck with me.

The very next day, while returning the unused parts to AutoZone, I overheard an elderly couple (Anne and Allen) sitting in the car next to us telling someone on the phone that they couldn't afford the $200 to fix their car. It was scorching hot outside, and they were VERY elderly, and I just knew that we had ended up at this particular store for a reason.

At first, it seemed like all they needed was help fixing their car. My younger brother offered to replace the part for free. But as we got to know them, we realized we hadn't just stumbled across someone with car trouble—we had stumbled into the lives of two wonderful people in their 90s who are quietly doing everything they can to survive completely on their own. They broke down and wept, thanking God for the little bit of help we gave them and revealed that they are in a truly desperate situation. They live in a little trailer that costs $750/mth to rent their space, and they get a cumulative of $1300/mth in social security. They have steep stairs that are extremely dangerous for them to get in and out of the trailer. The floor is all torn up because a contractor ripped them off and left the trailer in a state that's so dangerous for them to even walk around in.

Not knowing how to help at first, I made them some pre-made meals, and when we brought them over to them, they wept again, having someone show them kindness. It was on this visit that the true gravity of their situation really hit me. They are having severe health issues, and they desperately need so much help to take care of themselves. If not around-the-clock care, at the very least they need the money to hire someone to at least make their little home safe again.

I asked Anne and Allen if they would allow me to share their story because I genuinely believe that if more people knew them, they would want to help too.

This fundraiser is my attempt to give them that chance.

I'll be completely transparent about how every donation is used, and I'll continue sharing updates so you can see the impact you're making. Thank you for being here, for reading this, and for helping us remind Anne and Allen that they're not alone. If we were to raise $100, they would be brought to their knees in tears of gratitude and joy. I'm hoping that we can do something truly amazing here and allow them to spend their final time on this Earth in peace and comfort.

Thank you so much for being part of their story. They deserve and need this help as much as anyone I've ever met. Thank you.
