Bucket List for my Bro

Donation protected

Hi,
I am creating this page for my brother Charles (Chuck) Voorhees Jr. He was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung cancer early 2015, this weekend September 2nd, he entered hospice care. Two days later, I learned of his "Bucket List" item, to travel to Hawaii to see his daughter, and to go to somewhere that he has always wanted to travel to.

 About my brother, as far as siblings go, I couldn't have been luckier to have him as a big brother. He has always been there for me whenever I have needed him, when we were kids he taught me many things and always let me hang out with him as he worked on cars, worked on guns he taught me how to shoot, how to make first aid kits to travel with,  how to cut drywall, use and fix tools,  and I could go on and on about the impact that he has had on my life.

Spending everynight that I could with him over the past year and a half, has truley shown me his character.  Losing his business and livelyhood, he never complained, only worried about his wife and what would happen to her. Seeing him going through chemo and other "trial" treatments, and not once complaining about what he was going through.
Watching him with his kids and grandkids, exhausted from treatments, but wanting to spend everyminute he could with them. Just trying to get every moment out of life that life had to offer.
I would like to be able to raise the money to be able to send both him and his wife to Hawaii, to be able to see his daughter and the beauty of the state.

No one knows how long he will have, so we are trying to make this trip happen in the next week or so. If I could have any part of helping to make my brothers wish come true, I wouldn't be able to thank anyone enough who donates to make this happen, it would mean the world to me, even if you can only share this post.
Any monies not used for the trip, will help towards any medical expense, and after that will be donated to hospice.

I thank you all, so very much
