Hello, my name is Ira. I currently live in Tucson, Arizona. My children, Cynthia, age 17, Angel, 14, and Renzo, 7, live in Nashville with their mother. They moved out there a few years ago when she accepted a job offer in that city. I have since suffered from debilitating heartache as I don't see my children everyday and have spiraled into a deep and suicidal depression. I ended up homeless for a while and was able to get back off of the street but I can feel myself sinking again. I can't live without them. If I stay here I will certainly end my life in the very near future. I don't want to die, I just need my children. I've sought "help" from professionals, but no pill in existence is capable of curing or numbing this pain. Rather than commit suicide, I am going to take a chance and travel to Nashville on foot. I might need some water as June is about to begin. According to Google maps, the trip by foot takes 22 days but I expect it to take a bit longer. My options as I see them are to either sit here and die, or die making an attempt to be with them and I've chosen the latter. Any help, whether it be a penny, a drink of water, a bike, maybe a partial ride if anybody is headed that direction, or simply a wish for good luck is greatly appreciated. They are my only family in this world, and so far everybody I've shared my plan with has discouraged me and told me what a horrible idea this is, I just need some help getting there or at the very least some encouragement. Thank you for reading. It may be foolish to post my #, 520-599-1143, but any text or call of encouragement or inquiry as I'm on my journey would help greatly as I'm not even sure I can survive the walk, I'll be glad to send pictures and videos of my progress. I am doing this. I can only hope that God or the universe or my species or whatever may or may not be out there looks out for me. 

Nashville or bust!
