Hello all. I am here asking for some help with travel expenses for a trip to see my elderly grandfather. I live in Wisconsin and he lives in California. I did have most of the money saved for the trip, however, we have run into some financial emergencies and I had to use most of that money to fix our car, of which we only have one, and to pay some bills that were more than expected. My grandfather is the only grandparent I have left and he is 89 years old and in poor health. I do not know if he will make it another year for me to see him. I have been lucky in that I had 3 grandfathers (one was technically, a step-grandpa) growing up, however 2 of them have since passed and the one left is my maternal grandfather. I was close with all of my grandparents, but this one is the one I have been closest to all of my life, despite living so far apart for some years now. He is the one who I have always gone to for advice on everything. He always makes me feel like the most special person in the world. I am his first born grandchild and I was the only granddaughter for many years, so I was pretty spoiled by him. He has a nickname for me, it is Loony Toons, or just Toony. He said he gave me that name because I always loved the Loony Toons cartoons as a little girl. I cannot remember when he last called me by my name. It’s always Toony.
I hope my story resonates with someone who can help. I need at least $1,000 to make the trip to see him. I fear that I will not make it to see him before he passes away and I cannot imagine that! Please, please donate if you are able. Any little bit will help. Thank you for reading my story.
