I’m traveling across the USA for 2 months on a mission to make a real difference in people’s lives. Over eight weeks, I’ll be visiting communities, meeting incredible families, and connecting with kids who are facing serious challenges — from financial struggles to serious illnesses. Some States, include California, Utah, Michigan, Florida & more… 100% of the money donated will go directly to helping those in need. That could mean: • Providing essential support to individuals or families who are struggling to make ends meet/are in difficult circumstances • Creating unforgettable experiences for sick children, like meeting their heroes or attending special events. • Flying families out to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities they couldn’t otherwise access. This isn’t a registered charity — it’s one person doing everything possible to spread kindness, hope, and joy. Every dollar you donate will be used transparently to bring happiness, comfort, and meaningful moments to people who need it most. I’ll be documenting the journey along the way, showing exactly how your support is making an impact. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a life-changing experience, your contribution will be part of creating memories that will last a lifetime. This will be shown cent for cent in the updates, note this is in AUD, things I’ll be doing are in USD, so I will convert in the updates after go fund me fees.. My personal money goes towards my own flights, hotels, and food. (Unless I have to fly somewhere directly for ONE VIDEO/UPDATE) if any hotels or families want host us that would mean the world/ email me- [email redacted] Thank you for helping me turn this mission into a reality — together, we can make a difference, one act of kindness at a time.

Meet Jerry and Trish. Jerry is blind and autistic, and Trish is bravely fighting cancer. For years, life has been incredibly hard on them — but despite all the struggles, they’ve shown incredible strength. Six months ago, they made a life-changing decision: they got completely clean and free from drugs. Every single day since, they’ve been fighting to stay sober, and they’ve succeeded. Their resilience is inspiring, but now they need support to take the next step toward stability. Right now, Jerry and Trish are facing housing insecurity and the daily struggle to afford basics like food and transportation. What they truly need is a second chance — the opportunity to live safely, focus on healing, and continue proving that recovery is possible. That’s where we come in. Jerry and Trish have asked me to help manage the funds responsibly, due to their past addictions and the difficulty they’ve had accessing the right support. They want to make sure every dollar raised goes toward housing, essentials, and a fresh start. This fundraiser will: • Provide safe housing immediately. If we raise enough, Jerry and Trish will be placed in a hotel so they don’t have to worry about where they’ll sleep. • Cover daily essentials such as food, clothing, and transportation. • Support them in moving out of Utah if that gives them a better chance at stability and a brighter future. I’ll be traveling to Utah on October 25 to meet Jerry and Trish and personally deliver support. Until then, if enough is raised, we’ll ensure they’re already in safe accommodation while they wait for longer-term solutions. Beyond donations, we’re also seeking practical help. If anyone has access to rentals, job opportunities, or computer equipment that could help Jerry and Trish rebuild their lives, a financial advisor etc Please reach out directly at [email redacted]. Every donation, no matter the size, is a vote of confidence in Jerry and Trish’s future. It tells them: “You deserve this second chance. We believe in you.” *I believe this will be in AUD, I will be surprising them in USD* *please note this* If anyone in Salt Lake City, would like to be involved in assisting them off the street while I’m not there. Please reach out. I also need the community’s help ❤️

Hi, my name is Samuel Weidenhofer. I run a kindness and mental health movement where I help make dreams come true for kids and families facing heartbreaking challenges. Recently, I had the privilege of surprising Anthony Castillo  a polite, kind-hearted 14-year-old with the chance to meet his hero, Alex Warren. Watching Anthony light up in that moment is something his family and I will carry with us forever. Anthony’s journey was unimaginably tough. After months of being misdiagnosed for severe leg pain, doctors discovered he had a rare and aggressive cancer called Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour (MPNST). Despite surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy, the cancer continued to spread. Anthony has since sadly passed away. Anthony was so much more than his illness. He loved God and Bible stories, was a huge Geelong supporter, loved his food, had a funny and gentle spirit, and was deeply loved by his close family his devoted single mum and three siblings. His mum stepped away from work to care for him full-time, and the emotional and financial strain on the family has been overwhelming. This fundraiser now exists to support Anthony’s family as they navigate life after his passing helping with day-to-day needs, ongoing expenses, and giving them space to grieve without the added weight of financial stress. Every dollar raised will go directly to supporting the Castillo family. (Carmel, a trusted family friend, is listed as the beneficiary and will distribute the funds to Rebecca, Anthony’s mum.) Anthony’s life was filled with courage, love, and faith. Even in his hardest moments, he reminded those around him what strength and kindness look like. If you’re able to donate big or small or share this fundraiser, you are helping surround this family with love, dignity, and support during the most difficult time of their lives. Thank you for your kindness, – Sam

Hi my name is Samuel, I’m fundraising for Roy Charlie and his family. Roy had his leg cut off, due to bone cancer and is left with a disability. Since he hasn’t been working and is struggling financially to support himself and his family. His family’s house that they were building was damaged in the earthquake and doesn’t even have a door or windows. He currently sleeps on the floor, and they don’t have proper furniture. It breaks my heart All funds will be received by me. And then sent to Roy to his account in Vanuatu as it isn’t an eligible go fund me country. Thankyou for the love, and be kind always. Every dollar helps change this family’s life
