My name is Travis, and right now my dog Chunk and I are struggling with homelessness in Chicago. Over the past few months, things have become overwhelming. I was mugged and lost my wallet, ID, and important documents, making it even harder to get back on my feet. Most nights, Chunk and I ride the Red Line trying to stay safe and warm. We also tried staying in a tent, but it was destroyed, leaving us with almost nothing. Every day is about finding safety, food, and a way to keep moving forward. Chunk has been my only constant through all of this. He keeps me grounded during a time when everything else feels uncertain. I created this fundraiser to help us get temporary housing, replace important documents, buy food and basic necessities, and work toward stability again. Having a safe place to sleep would give me the chance to focus on rebuilding my life instead of just surviving day to day. I know many people are struggling right now, and I’m deeply grateful for any help, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for giving us a chance to start over.
