Help send my Mom on her dream Birthday vacation!!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Evelyn. My mom has experienced much sadness in her life and with your help I would like to make her 90th birthday extra special. My mom, Bernadette, raised 9 children, one of which was total care. Her second pregnancy ended abruptly with the loss of twins. She kept us fed and clothed which was very stressful due to a limited income. In 1984, this was made worse when my Dad passed away from colon cancer leaving Mom to support the 5 children still at home. In 1993 my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully she is a survivor. A year after that, in 1994, her youngest son Mark passed away at the age of 24 from melanoma. Sadly, in 2004, she watched her youngest daughter Judy struggle to take her last breath as she passed away from pneumonia. And recently my Mom has suffered from unbearable trauma which no one should have to experience. In July of 2022, her eldest daughter Doreen passed away unexpectedly and in January of this year her 5th child Joe was murdered. As you can see my Mom has lived more than her fair share of sadness and heartache and deserves a vacation to a place she has always wanted to go. My father promised her he would take her to Hawaii when he retired, which never happened. Together with your help I would like to make this promise come true. Thank you for reading her story and for your donation.
