This thru-hike is made possible by donations from people like you. You can donate directly to us through PayPal by clicking the donate button in the sidebar. Alternatively, you could take a look at our individual Amazon Wishlists, and send us something specific that we need or have a hankering for straight from there.
Once we hit the trail our wishlists will be a place to help out with any gear replacements that may be needed or a place to find out what goodies we’re craving out there on the trail if you want to contribute to resupply! Cold hard cash will go a long way towards comforts (like hot meals and showers) once we’re out on the trail.
Additionally, while it will absolutely be hard work and we value your support, we don’t pretend to think this isn’t some kind of vacation! We are incredibly lucky to take this kind of time away from our lives to do so. Still as we near the border, it couldn’t sit with our consciences to not mention the fact that many people face far more difficult treks as far less frivolous undertakings. Please consider donating to No More Deaths, a humanitarian aid volunteer organization created to “address different dimensions of the suffering caused by current policies toward migration, immigration, and border policing.” Or the Tijuana Kitchen, created in response to the migrant caravan it is “an autonomous kitchen space in Tijuana where folks… can cook hot meals for their loved ones.” Again let us know if you do, of course that kind of support deserves postcards as well.
Thank you for your support!
