Stranded and Struggling — Just Trying to Get Home

Hey everyone,

This is really hard for me to write because I hate asking for help but I’ve found myself in a situation I just can’t handle alone.

I’ve been traveling in Alaska and what was supposed to be a meaningful trip has taken a hard turn. My motor blew unexpectedly in the 4runner and now I’m stranded, thousands of miles from home in Utah with no way to get back.

I’m doing everything I can to stay positive but the truth is, this has left me feeling lost. The cost of fixing or replacing the motor is more than I can afford right now. I never thought I’d be in this position, stuck far from home, asking for help but here I am, trying to get back to the people and place I love.

If you’re able to give anything, no matter how small, it would help more than I can put into words. Every donation will go directly toward getting me back on the road and home to Utah. And if you’re not in a position to give, just sharing this would mean the world to me.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me find my way home.
