Hi everyone,

Over the last two years, I've been through some incredibly difficult times- emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally and financially. Life has thrown a lot at me as I'm sure it has others.Ive spent so much time just simply trying to survive, keep going and hold everything together. 

Now I'm finally at a place where I want to take care of me by surrounding myself with love and care from my family something that will bring joy and connections. 

Im trying to raise funds to go to NYC to reunite with loved ones I haven't seen in years. This trip isn't a vacation it's a reset it's a chance to reconnect with loved ones create meaningful memories and find a spark of join again after so much struggle. 

I have most of what I need just a couple hundred off my goal. 

Your support will help cover: 

- Travel expenses 
-Lodging
- Food and travel expenses while there
- Any unexpected emergencies


 Anything you can give even if it's just a share is appreciated. This trip represents more than just a destination it's about healing, reconnecting and finally choosing myself after a long hard journey. 


Thank you so much for reading and supporting in any way you can.. 

With gratitude,
Jaylen
