My Travel Story

by: Philip Pitts Start Date: Jul 26, 2023 - End Date: Aug 24, 2023
Hi, I'm Philip Pitts, dedicated single father raising four wonderful children.After a tough divorce I made the decision to move my children back to Hawaii, where they grew up. At the time, everything seemed well-planned, and I was ready to hit the ground running. With music royalties providing a cushion of $50,000, I believed I could make it happen rent ($2,500), electricity ($200), insurance ($300), and other expenses while figuring out more music placements as i have been grammy nominated twice and won multiple billboard award for music production. I kinda been around the block.

For the past 7 months, living in Hawaii has been an incredible experience for my kids. But at the same time I gotta be honest and realistic with you all. As much as I tried my hardest to make it work, my finances have been depleted due to the high cost of living in Hawaii, the most expensive state. I take full responsibility and have no excuses.

Right now, I'm faced with a difficult decision: should we stay in Hawaii, risking the possibility of homelessness, or should we return to our apartment in New York City, where I have rent secured and access to more resources for financial stability? I love Hawaii, but my children's well-being is my top priority.

I humbly come to you, putting aside my pride and ego, seeking assistance to travel back to NYC, where we have a more stable place to live. Your support can help my children and my children get back to NYC and regroup .

Your kindness and generosity will provide hope and security to my family during this challenging time. We deeply appreciate any assistance you can offer, and we promise to pay it forward when we're in a position to help others as we always do in our family.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Im embarrased about this but i would rather ask the general public for help befor i ask the music industry *@%#$. Im normally the one helping people financialy but the tables have tutned and i pray theres someone willing to help a real life family get to our distination.
Please dont make fun of our situation on social media.

Respectfully Philip Pitts
