Looking for help from the admins of the local guide program. I made a foolish mistake, and I'm hoping I may be able to be helped

I don’t know if this is the correct place to try and contact those who may be able to help me; but I figured I’d give it a shot.

My name is Daija, and I’ve had recent series of unfortunate events, I lost both of my parents very recently at only 18, and now my local guide pin, too. I’ve been a local guide since the program began, and I don’t know if it’s because of everything I have going on currently making me more easily emotional; but I’m so upset about losing this. I’ve had it since about 2018. I was so grief stricken over everything going on, I of course didn’t even realize I had lost it… I’ve tried contacting the few places I’d been in the last few weeks, and I’m not finding it sadly.

If there’s any way I can get a new one, I’d have no issue paying for it. It was my own lack of responsibility that caused this after all. If I can’t, well I understand. I just wanted to try.

Thank you in advance to anybody who responds with advice, and to the admins if I’m able to get ahold of them. My apologies again if I’m not contacting using the correct steps, if there’s a better way for me to go about this don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m quite frazzled lately so I’m finding myself messing up a lot.

Hi @Drew1011 , welcome to Connect
I am a bit confused about your post as you said

How old were you on 2018? 11, 12 years old?
This is strange, isn’t it? Because the minimum age to participate to the program is 14 (depending on the country where you live) and in the past, if I remember correctly, it was 18.
I’m any case there is no way to have a replacement.
Keep contributing, and if your contributions are of high quality, you may receive another one in the future.

Only Local Guides can join Connect, @Sisakumar . The issue mentioned in this topic is completely different.

@Drew1011 , as you are writing here about an issue, I am changing the category of your post to Google Maps tips & tricks - Local Guides Connect, where it fits better
