My Travel Story

Firefighters and there family's​have a very stressful life. For firefighters​it's mostly the job seeing what we see doing whatvwe do and for many the thought and fear of not coming home. As for the family's​ when there firefighters​ go to work the fear of them not coming home. The frightening reality is sometimes they don't.

When I came up with this idea some people told me "well firefighters​ make good money" the reality is some firefighters do make good money. "some" but on the other hand the majority of us firefighters​ do not make as much as one would think and don't always have enough to make ends meet. Many firefighters work 2 jobs or loads of overtime to make ends meet. This again causes​ more stress and time away from there family's​. Even with a second job or overtime there is still not always funding for any real kind of vacation.

My goal for this is to help overworked underpaid and stretched​ to thin firefighters and there familys get some precious family time together. Time together away from the stresses of life to unwind and make family memories that will last a lifetime. Memories that might otherwise never happen.

I want to help make a lifetime memory for these people that give their all when the call of service comes in.

I am a firefighter myself I will make any funding go as far as I can and help as many families as I can.

Thank you.
