WHO WE ARE
I am military mom! My name is Debra. I have four Children and I am fifty years old. My oldest son is in the Marine Corps. My youngest son is in the Coast Guard. And my only daughter (my youngest) is a wife of a Marine and there currently stationed in Hawaii. My significant other's oldest son is in the Airforce until October of this year. My daughter and her husband have two beautiful little boys together. Our family is over 4,000 miles away from them. They have not been home for a Christmas in 9 years and this year will be the 10th. I am trying to raise money to surprise them with a trip home for the holidays so they don't have to miss another Christmas!
THE STORY
Being a military family the holidays always feel so empty. Its hard to get everyone home for the holidays. And while they are gone they miss out on so much. They haven't been able to say goodbye to loved ones who have passed on. They've missed seeing new babies come into our family. They've missed being by the sides of our loved ones when they have fell ill and been diagnosed with cancer. My daughter and son-in-law have not been home for a Christmas in 9 years & this year will be the 10th. My two grandsons have never spent a Christmas with there Papa or Nana. For the first time in several years our entire family will be home for Christmas except for my daughter Holly, her husband, and there two little boys.
The cost has always been to great especially around the holidays. Only way for them to come home is by plane. And for a family of four that is very expensive. Military discounts don't make a dent. They have saved money for the trip several times but unforeseen circumstance have drained there savings account time and time again.
WHAT FUNDS ARE USED FOR
Funds raised will be used to purchase roundtrip airfare from there Hawaii to come home to the east coast & return. Also, baggage fees, food expenses, and any unexpected travel fees. The end date set on the fundraiser is to ensure they will have enough time to put his leave in. Thank you for your donation! Every little bit helps!
Thank You For Helping Make A Christmas Wish Come True! From Our Family To Yours We Thank You From The Bottom Of Our Hearts And Happy Holidays! Deb
