My name is Demetrius, and I’m reaching out for help to bring my two toddlers together with their siblings and family for Thanksgiving. After getting sick, I lost hours at my job, which made it difficult to cover all the costs needed for this important trip. Despite these challenges, I’m determined to make sure my little ones can spend the holiday surrounded by their loved ones.

I’ve already managed to book our flight and save a few hundred dollars, but I’m still short on what’s needed to make the journey from Texas to California possible. The funds raised will go directly toward renting a car, covering gas, and possibly a hotel stay if needed, since I’ll be traveling alone with my 2-year-old and 4-year-old for nearly 20 hours. Every bit of support will help ensure we can make this trip safely and give my children the chance to reconnect with their family during a time that means so much to us.

I am truly grateful for any support you can offer. This opportunity means the world to my family, and I promise to pay back anyone who helps, with interest. Thank you for considering helping us create special memories this Thanksgiving.
