​I'm not just asking for a trip; I'm raising funds for an experience that is deeply meaningful and necessary for me right now.

​My passion for California comes from a need for inspiration and a fresh perspective. I see this journey as a vital opportunity to recharge my creativity and set new goals that will benefit me long after I return. Why Fund the Train?
​"My journey is an experience, not just a trip! I'm taking the iconic Amtrak route to watch the vast Texas landscape transform into the deserts and mountains of California."
​"Your donation of $600 will cover my entire Coach fare from San Antonio to Los Angeles, ensuring I arrive rested and ready to begin my adventure."
​"If we hit my goal for this section, I can use a small portion of it to afford the essential meals during the long 30+ hour trip!"
