My dear friend Jackson was one of the kindest, funniest, and most loving people I’ve ever known. He had a huge heart, a contagious laugh, and a deep love for travel and adventure. His memory continues to inspire everyone who knew him. This fund was created in his honor to support mental health awareness. I share it here with so much love and the hope that it brings comfort, connection, and support to others who may be struggling. You are not alone.

Travel should connect us not just to new places, but to the people who call them home. That’s why I love what Planeterra does. This organization supports local communities around the world through sustainable tourism, helping travelers have more ethical, impactful experiences while preserving cultures and supporting small businesses. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing the world in a way that truly matters, this is a beautiful place to start.

I’ve always felt connected to the ocean. In high school, I was president of our Surfrider Club, and it taught me the power of protecting what we love. Surfrider Foundation works to keep our coastlines clean through conservation, community education, and activism. Their mission continues to inspire me, and I’m grateful for the chance to support their work from anywhere in the world. If you’ve ever fallen in love with a beach, this is one way to give back to it.

Mental health is something we all carry whether it’s quietly, personally, or sometimes heavily. For me, it’s not just a cause; it’s something deeply personal. Mental Health America helps make support more accessible through education, advocacy, and resources for those navigating hard moments—whether it’s anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or simply feeling overwhelmed. I share this with love, hope, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and never alone in what they’re facing.
