Help a Family Make Precious Memories

Dear Friends & Family,

If you know me, than you know that I absolutely hate asking for financial assistance, but I also know that closed mouths don't get fed. As a single mom of three with zero assistance and a lot of big back-to-back events, I am really struggling currently!

For those of you who don't know, my mom's cancer has returned for a third time and this time it's stage four and has metastasized. She has two tumors in her lungs and has been given 3-6months left to live. We weren't planning on taking any trips to Oregon this summer/year, but with the urgency of this new timeline I'm now trying to get us to Eugene for my mom's 65th birthday which is this weekend, June 28th. We are told it could be her last. With airline tickets being $400+ a piece, our family of four is going to run me $1600+ and I'll be missing out on that same amount of money from the week of work I'll be taking off to be there for her. Which puts me in the hole $3000 just two weeks away from my daughter's high school graduation trip to Japan. Other than spending money, Japan is already entirely paid for, but I don't want to disappoint my daughter or mom by having to choose between those two trips, which is why I'm asking for whatever help I can possibly get at this time.

If you can't "afford" to donate and it needs to be a loan, I could either put in the work or pay you back sometime in August.

Thank you in advance
