Euki's Alpaca 4

There is currently no goal for this item.

Thank you for picking up this trackable. You’ve no doubt nabbed it because you too love alpacas and found it to be extremely adorable. If so, then you have something with common with our best friend, Eugene. You see, you’ve picked up a very special trackable that holds a lot of value to us. This trackable was created to memorialize our friend Eugene, who tragically passed away on February 4, 2018 in a car accident. He was only 30 years old. We love him and miss him dearly.

Eugene was a wonderfully kind and loving person, who was determined to bring joy to people’s lives. From being the center of attention in loud and crowded social gatherings to those quiet intimate moments, where he’d listen to you bare your soul, he’d be there.

In a world of gender stereotypes and the society that governs them, he wasn’t afraid to be himself. And by that, he wasn’t willing to hide his love of cute stuff and alpacas, not typically associated with masculinity. In fact, he thoroughly enjoyed collecting stuffed alpaca toys that look very similar to this trackable. They ended up being his driving buddies whenever he was alone in the car.

If you’re still reading, then I’d better get to the point. Eugene wanted to travel the world, but he never really got the opportunity before he passed so abruptly. We live in the United States and in September 2016, we traveled to Tokyo, Japan. When he returned home, he was the first person to say that he was homesick for Japan after spending only 11 days there. We made a pact to come back and in November 2018, we did, unfortunately without our best friend.

If you would, please keep this trackable close with you when you visit a new wondrous place for the next person to pick up. It was our hopes that Eugene’s story would travel the world with this wandering alpaca, in the way that he never got to.

Thank you for reading and for helping to remember our friend.

P.S. We’ve already asked a lot of you at this point, but this isn’t for us this time, this is for Eugene’s family whom he left behind. At 30 years old, he was the sole provider for his parents and his little brother. They’re still grieving and in need of anything that you can give. We sincerely thank you for all your time and for anything that you can donate.
