I am creating Chism Trail because I know firsthand how frightening it is to be lost and unsure of what could happen next. That experience stayed with me, and it pushed me to think about how many people could be safer if they had a tool they could rely on when they are outdoors, out of service range, injured, or in danger. My goal is to build an app that helps people navigate even without internet access, backtrack to where they started, and find their way back to safety when they feel disoriented or stranded.

Chism Trail is designed to be more than a map. I want it to help people identify plants, locate water resources and shelter, and use an SOS feature that can send a pinpoint location to the nearest search and rescue office and continue sending alerts until help arrives. I believe people should have a better chance to stay calm, make smart decisions, and survive difficult situations when the unexpected happens.

I am asking for support to help bring this app to life and make it available for everyone to use. Your help will go toward building and launching Chism Trail so it can become a practical safety tool for people who need guidance in critical moments. If this mission speaks to you, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every bit of support helps move this life-saving idea closer to reality.
