Help Paul Pryor Return Home
My name is Paul Pryor, and I am asking for help during one of the most difficult periods of my life.
On February 5, 2026, I traveled to the Dominican Republic for what was supposed to be a vacation. Unfortunately, due to a travel ban on my passport, I have been unable to return home to the United States. I have now been stranded for more than six months, and I still do not know when I will be allowed to travel home.
Being stuck in a foreign country has been incredibly challenging. I do not have any family members here, and every day brings uncertainty about what comes next. Living away from home for this long has created financial and emotional hardships that I never imagined I would face.
I am starting this fundraiser to help cover my essential living expenses while I remain stranded, including:
Temporary housing
Food and daily necessities
Transportation
Communication expenses
Legal and administrative costs related to resolving my travel situation
Any additional emergency expenses that arise while I wait to return home
Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and social networks would mean just as much.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can provide. I remain hopeful that this situation will be resolved and that I will be able to return home as soon as possible.
With gratitude,
Paul Pryor
