Story

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart, asking for your help during one of the hardest moments of my life.

My grandmother just passed away, and I’m thousands of miles from home — alone in South Korea, mourning, and desperate to get back to my family in Atlanta, GA. I need to be there to say goodbye, to grieve with my loved ones, and to start healing. But right now, I simply can’t afford to get home.

On top of my grief, I’m working under a boss who is emotionally abusive and has made every single day feel like a battle. I’m drained. I feel like I’m drowning in stress, sorrow, and isolation. I need to leave — not just for my mental health, but for my future.

I’m trying to raise $3,000 to cover:

• A flight home to Atlanta
• Baggage fees
• Transportation from the airport to my home
• Final utility payments for the apartment I’m living in before I can leave South Korea

This isn’t just about a plane ticket — it’s about escaping a toxic situation, honoring my grandmother’s memory, and getting back to a place where I can breathe and start to feel whole again.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or far from home when you needed love the most, I hope you understand. Every single donation helps, no matter the amount. Even just sharing this means the world to me.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for caring. I just want to go home.
