Surprise for Lillian's 70th Birthday!

Greetings! Hilary and Rachel here, daughter and good friend, respectively, of Lillian Henegar.

We are fundraising to provide an extraordinary surprise for Lillian’s 70th birthday, and we hope you will chip in and help us send her on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Scotland/England with her sisters Anna and Jane.

She has wanted to travel abroad her whole life, and her dream of all dreams has been to pilgrimage to the land of her ancestors – both familial (Henegar/Nixes) and spiritual (the Quakers). So when her sisters shared their plans to travel to the British Isles in Spring 2023, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to make that dream come true.

… Especially given all that Lillian has been through these past four years: cancer, retirement, moving to Canada (including the culture shock and crossborder headaches), the pandemic(!!), the death of her cat, and of course, the constant stress of being a deep feeler in a world gone mad.

And all the while, she has shown up for her family and community: helping care for her two young grandsons, stepping up to volunteer for her local AA chapter, the local and national Quaker community, the boys’ school, Democrats Abroad and others.

The truth is Lillian has spent decades giving her time, energy and passion for service to her communities. So we are delighted to be able to collaborate with her beloved friends and family (that’s you!) to partially fund this dream trip to show our love and appreciation for her big beautiful heart.

We want to make a BIG deal out of Lillian for her 70th birthday – and invite you to join us.

Please help your friend (or relative) have this opportunity and donate what you can. No amount is too small (or too large!).

Our goal is to raise $2,300 to cover her flight and a week’s worth of accommodations. Will you help us get there?

Please help us share this fundraiser with all of those who’ve known and loved our Mother, Sister, Friend and Ally. Thank you!
