My Travel Story

by: Autumn Johnson Start Date: May 2, 2021 - End Date: May 1, 2022

Anyone else miss home?
I've lived in a few different states, but my heart stayed stuck in one destination-
Phoenix, Arizona. 

I've been in tennessee for the past 10 years on my own. every single year, I've tried to save up and move back. Yes, for 10 years. Finally, I had the means to go..but I ended up with another dilemma-
the coronavirus. It was explained to me that moving during the pandemic might cause additional issues, such as finding work. Which ultimately turned out to be true as most of the country shut down and went on lockdowns. i waited for the virus to default, but it ended up ruling the entire year of 2020. I was laid off, and reached into my savings to stay afloat. That money took me 5+ years to accumulate, and took one year to deplete. After starting to save again im 2021, I got into a car accident and my van was totaled. It was the first accident I had ever been in and im 30 years old. I will say, being smacked my an airbag is something you never forget! 

Im putting my pride aside and asking for any help or suggestions. Please help me get back home. Even a  $1 donation is something that could easily impact me beneficially. I'm trying to raise $3,000 for the journey across america, and to put a down payment on an apartment out there before I leave. I just wanna feel the heat on my skin avain and gaze at those clear blue skies daily. Please feel free to reach out, I appreciate you reading my story.
