Are you still wearing bandages? Do your caretakers know you want to leave? Are you in a facility where you will need to be signed out? Is your home in Hot Spring, AK?

My concern is whether you are able to travel by yourself and if you are stable enough. Buses are not equipped to handle an emergency if something goes wrong. I fully understand your desire to leave and just want to be sure you will be safe.

I checked Greyhound Bus Line. They have a bus from Hattiesburg to Hot Spring, AK. Is Hot Spring Village near this? The fare appears to be $108 one way (I think this is if you buy the ticket online).

I make travel arrangements frequently and bus seems to be the only way (unless one does a craigslist or rideshare search)

https://www.greyhound.com/farefinder/step2.aspx?SessionId=d0d655f9-2171-46ed-b959-b779ba6d9640 The bus will take 22 hours with 2 transfers, web fare is $103. It looks like you might have to wait a few days.
