My Travel Story

Hey there, amazing people! I'm Mike, a 35-year-old dad who's been navigating the rugged roads of North Dakota for six years, and it's time to shift gears. My heart's been aching to reunite with my son, Jojo, who's growing up fast at 8 years old. We've been apart too long, and every day feels like a missed opportunity to be the dad I know I can be.
Life's been a wild ride these last few years— it seems like taking two steps forward only to take three steps back has just become the norm for and I do get it people often say you'll never be fully prepared for life and what it does at you but for me my biggest concern and my biggest problem is not me anymore it's my son and being there for him and the problem is is getting there to him which is why I bring this sort of cry for help if you would... Everyone has bills and the daily expenses. But through it all, whether I'm busting my ass working 60 hour weeks or my wages are being garnished or whatever it may be you know I've always got my eyes on the prize: getting back home to Jojo. It's not just about me; it's about being there for him, guiding him, and sharing those irreplaceable moments.
Adding to this urgency is my son's mom, who's been facing extreme struggles herself. She needs my support now more than ever, and being stuck here is making it harder for both of us. This situation has become an emergency, and I’m turning to this platform because I can't quite get ahead financially. The longer it takes, the more burdensome it becomes for my family.
I’m reaching out because sometimes even the strongest need a little help to make dreams come true. I’m looking to fuel up my car and embark on the  2,000-mile journey back home. It’s more than a trip; it’s a mission to rebuild our lives together.
Your support can be the spark that ignites this journey. Every contribution brings me closer to Jojo and gives us both a chance at a brighter future. If you can relate or have ever felt the pull of family calling you home, your help would mean the world right now. I know it's never too late but it truly can be and it has been for me everyday I feel like I failed not making it back home to him as I do not know what to tell him anymore, why daddys not hine or did daddy give up on it just makes me cry but I will pull through and make up for my absence. My son's mother does not sugarcoat things very lightly and she tells him things that she shouldn't have and for that my heart's cold but I will remain relentless to get back into his life and be the dad I always wanted to be and I know my son deserves! I also would like to say thank you so much for your time for reading my sort of desperate call for help I sort of thought this could be a big waste of time and from some peer support and some close individuals I have currently in my life they've given me some hope on this sort of thing and that it's not something to be ashamed of but something to embrace being its a very serious & rough time in my life right now so I do appreciate anything and just the time for reading my story, thank you all and god bless!
