Hi all!
This is the second morning of HugTrainUSA and I’m raring to go for another day! From New Orleans, I head to Chicago with an extended stop in Memphis, TN (Central Station, 545 South Main Street, Memphis, TN 38103) tonight at 10 PM for 40 minutes!
I need your help this year and I would love for you to be part of making HugTrain the best it’s ever been I would really appreciate your help this year in the following ways:
Please help me find people to hug, share the itinerary with your networks & spread the word!
Also, because the money I personally had saved up has been loaned to a friend in need, I also need help with:
Accomodations:
San Francisco on 30th and 31st December (walking distance to an Orthodox synagogue please)
Chicago on 4th January
Washington, DC on 6th January (walking distance to an Orthodox synagogue please)
Miami on 9th and 10th January
Meals for every day of the trip (including today!) – I’m not picky but I don’t eat meat 
Intracity travel: Taxis and/or public transit services to help get me to/from events, accomodations and the train station!
As you can see from the content we post on the blog and across social networks, we are very happy to help you in return! 
So, if you believe in our mission, please help!
How to reach me:
Call or text: 631-517-0672 or e-mail arie AT hugtrain.org
(I may not always be reachable as trains travel in rural areas but I will get back to you ASAP!)
As for today, I’ll be at the Amtrak station in the Union Passenger Terminal at 1001 Loyola Avenue from noon until the train boards (around 1:30 PM) giving out hugs…
This is what I look like:
I look forward to hearing from you! *HUGS*
