Hi friends,

I’m reaching out during a big moment in my life. After a lot of thought and reflection, I’ve made the decision to move from Virginia to Idaho to be closer to my family. Being away from them has been difficult, and has taken a toll on my mental health. I’ve also realized that no job or location means more to me than being near the people who truly matter.

This move is about building a stronger support system, reconnecting with loved ones, and finding stability and peace in a place I can truly call home.

But — as many of you know — moving across the country is expensive. Between transportation, moving trucks, gas, deposits, and taking time off work during the transition, the costs add up quickly.

I’m hoping to raise $10,000 to help cover:

-Long-distance moving expenses (truck, gas, etc.)

-Initial housing costs (deposit, first month’s rent)

-Travel and setup costs once I arrive

-A small cushion while I get re-established and find work

Any amount you can give — or even just sharing this page — would mean the world to me. I’m excited for this next chapter, and incredibly grateful for your support in helping me get there.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey. I will be posting updates along the way.

With love and gratitude,

Max
