Steps of Hope: From Darkness Into Light
Steps of Hope Camino de Santiago for Pieta House
I am raising funds for Pieta House through Darkness Into Light by taking on the Camino de Santiago, walking 240km from Porto to Santiago de Compostela over 9 days.
This journey is dedicated to supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention, and to helping ensure that anyone struggling can access counselling and crisis support when they need it most.
Every donation, no matter how small, directly supports Pieta House’s life-saving services. If you are able to contribute or share this page, it would mean a great deal.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and support this journey ❤️

Hello Dom, I just wanted to say that what you just did is so inspiring !! Congratulations :) I would guess that, just as me, you lost someone due to suicide. If that is the case, I am so sorry for your loss. But please never forget that they must my be so proud of you up there !!! To be honest thanks to creators like you, it helps me navigating these weird feelings (bc i guess i don’t know how to express them out loud). I particularly appreciate how hopeful and motivating you are, so please keep going!! And just for that i could not thank you enough. Please never forget to « croquer la vie à pleines dents » (as we say here in France), to live fully your life and to try to enjoy every moment. We carry the people we lost with us, so we must try to live it at 100% for us and for them. I wish you all the best !! Thanks again for what you are doing and for the people you will help !! AR :)

Hiya Dom. The reason why I’m donating is because this cause means a lot to me. I’ve suffered with mental health all my life. I still am. I’ve even tried to end my life because of it. I really hope I do get better eventually. I’m starting to feel isolated nobody to talk to. I just seem I can’t find the light at the end of the tunnel I hope this donation will help with this. I’m so proud of you and everyone who doing this long walk to help with mental health. Remember to drink plenty of water. And I can’t wait for you to get back and do more content with McKenna haha. Lots of love, George xx

Impressive! And inspiring. Even without knowing the story behind your motivation, your Camino has reminded me that the idea of walking it myself has been on my mind for years. And I keep finding ‘reasons’ why I haven’t done it yet. Perhaps soon I won’t be able to find any more reasons. Thank you very much!

Best of luck on the Camino, Dominik! 240km is an incredible challenge and a brilliant thing to do for such an important cause. Mental health struggles are something that have affected my own home, so it’s genuinely great to see someone helping shine a light on such a worthy cause. Wishing you strength, good weather, and an unforgettable journey, you should be really proud of yourself.

This is amazing. The Camino is something I’ve been saving for and hoping to do solo myself someday. As someone who struggles with mental health, what you’re doing is incredibly inspiring to me. I hope that one day I’m able to take this journey too — not because I think a trip like this magically solves every problem, but because I believe the mental, physical, and spiritual challenge of it can bring clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding of yourself. There’s something powerful about stepping away from the noise of everyday life and being alone in such a beautiful, serene environment with nothing to do but keep moving forward. I’ve realized that a lot of my solo travel has been more about escaping reality than truly confronting it. The Camino feels different. It feels like the kind of experience that challenges you mentally, physically, and spiritually in a way that can genuinely change you and bring a sense of peace and self-awareness. You’re a huge inspiration and a real source of motivation. More than anything, you seem like a genuinely kind and caring person, and I truly wish you the most incredible journey. Safe travels, and I hope that whatever it is you’re searching for or chasing, you find it along the way. Sending positive vibes and support from Maryland.

Hi Dom, My name is Waylon. I’m a medical student from the States. As I’m in school, I can’t give much, but I hope my little bit can make a difference! Thank you so much for doing this charity! I’ve been watching yours and McKenna’s videos for a long time, since you guys first started posting. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you both being such a positive influence on a young gay man like myself! Your videos found me around the time I was just starting to come out to some of my friends and family, which was something I struggled to do for a long time. It was really helpful for me to see role models of a gay man who believed in God, took care of himself, and built a wholesome and healthy relationship. Seeing the way you both carried yourselves helped me realize I didn’t have to choose between my health, my faith, and having a healthy relationship someday. I know it’s social media, so I don’t presume to know everything, and I’m sure there’s a lot of struggle we don’t see. But I think that’s all the more reason a charity like this is important. I just wanted to encourage you and let you know that you make a difference far beyond what you probably know. I hope to continue supporting you both for a long time. Thank you again for what you do. Pass this message along to McKenna for me too, would you! Wishing you both all the best. Enjoy the Camino!
