Help Cat Move Closer to Mom & Newton See Japan

My name is Newton Ewell. I'm a published artist who is disabled . My lifepartner and I need to move to Michigan, to be near her mother, who is in hospice. We currently live in Utah, and are both disabled.

Neither of us is able to load/unload a moving truck anymore, so we must seek full-service (packing and transport) movers to get us there. We have a place to go in Michigan - we've arranged to live with a disabled roommate kind enough to share his dwelling with us. We need to raise around $8000 for transport.

Secondly, I need to visit Japan before I die. I have a dear friend who will put me up for a month, but I require funds both for transportation and expenses when I arrive. For this journey, I would like 10,000 to cover these things.

It's very humbling to ask like this. Life deals the cards we have, and sadly SSDI doesn't cover actual quality-of-life stuff like this.

Rest assured ALL funds will be used for these objectives only. 8k will go to getting us to Michigan. The 10K will be used for Japan, and only the Japan trip.

Your help is greatly appreciated!
