As many of you know, our wonderful parents are turning 60 this year and next, and we (the Ricca-Richardson kids) have been secretly planning (and saving up) to surprise them with hopefully the holiday of a lifetime, just the two of them.

We’ve been thinking about how much love and joy they’ve shared with the people around them over the years, and we thought it might be nice to open this up to their nearest and dearest. If you'd like to be part of this surprise and contribute in any way, we’ve set up a GoFundMe page to make it easy.

We want to be clear—there’s no pressure or expectation at all. Your friendship means the world to them either way, and we hope you don’t mind us reaching out like this, and keeping our plan a secret from them for now!

Much love,

Isaac, Phoebe, Megan, and Aphra.
