When I was very very young, and in my late teens to early 20s, I had 4 daughters with my first Wife.  Our marriage went south pretty quickly, and with no job, no steady home, I was forces to give up my parental rights, to insure that my Daughters would have some kind of a decent life with someone who could support them and provide them with a good home.  That was back in the mid 1980s.  Until now, I had tried on several occaisons to find out what happened to them.  Since then, I have had one heart attack, and a cerebral aneurysm, which has left me with nerve damage and a lot of side effects.  Because of the way they had to treat the aneurysm, I am perminently disabled and can no longer work.  I cannot walk for more than a few minutes with a cane before I am in too much pain, and I have to use my power chair after that.  I spend most of my time, trying to find things to keep busy.  A few days ago, I received a friend request on Facebook.  I didn't know the name, but when I looked at her Facebook paage, I knew immediately who she was.   My Oldest Daughter had found me.   We have been in communication several times and spent hours on the phone learning about each other.  It was amazing how much we are alike.  She wants me to come out and see her, but on Disability, I can't afford Gas for my minivan, food, hotel rooms etc for the close to 900 mile trip.  Tonight, with her help, I found my second oldest Daughter and we have spoken for the first time in decades.  Giving them up was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.   Now I hope I have a chance to have a small part in their lives again.  I have another Daughter now who is 18 who really wants to see her new found Sisters.  I will continue to search for the other two, now with renewed hope that I will be able to find them as well.  I am asking for help to raise enough money for the trip.  I simply cannot afford it on my own.  We are barely covering medical expenses for what Medicaid does not cover, as well as bills and food.  Please help.
