Our family has received grave news that Vanessa's father is at the last moments of his fight with Pancreatic Cancer and currently on Hospice Care.  The doctors have stated that he has less than a week to live and have sent a Red Cross Message to request the family's presence at his final moments.  After resolving recent transportation issues, and a family trip to see her sick father in March, we have exhausted all financial reserves.  We used our Army Emergency Relief option in March to pay for the plane tickets to send our family to visit with Grandpa Joe.  At this time we don't have the funds for Vanessa to travel from Germany to Austin, TX to say her final goodbye to her father.  If you would like to help Vanessa and our children, Maximus and Fiona, make this journey to say goodbye to "Paw Paw" we would appreciate anything and everything you can do.
