My Travel Story

My boyfriend Brennan and I (Christie) are planning to move by December 29th to a better living situation out in Colorado! We discovered we both have a higher chance for personal and professional growth. This is extremely important to us and we need some assistance in getting the funds to get out there☺️. Our costs to move are on the higher end due to us also having two cats. I would like to get them up to date and any extra protections they can get before we make the journey as we will be driving. I also want to purchase proper vehicle confinement for them for the long journey which will take us at most 3.5 days. If we went straight the trip would be 29 hours (due to stops for quick breaks). Though we cannot physically do that so I estimated about 3.5 days if we took the absolute slowest time or due to hazardous weather conditions/unexpected stops. Those few additional bits of information I included because they are affecting the total costs to move. We estimate needing about $6-8,000 to be comfortable while we officially settle into jobs and move in/get established. I would also estimate about $3,000 for costs of travel (due to stops/pet needs mentioned above/travel restrictions mentioned above/gas/unexpected expenses)  Anything towards our move is greatly appreciated and we will keep it deeply in our hearts. 

Moving to colorado is medically beneficial for both of us as the atmosphere is biologically better for me and it creates a want for us to be healthier and active. The overall entire environmemt of the state is extremely
beneficial to our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeings. We also see financial growth for the both of us and our overall quality of life would substantially improve. 

it is also extremely important for us as we desperately need to be out by December 29th. 


thank you for considering helping our cause to better ourselves through a one way ticket to Colorado!
