My name is Tracy and I'm starting this GoFundMe to help my oldest brother complete a few things on his bucket list before he passes away. My oldest brother, David Rodrigues, was an avid fisherman and hunter in his younger life. He even had a hunting and fishing show on PBS before that was even a popular thing. He and his wife of over 40 years, Melissa, have lived in Alaska and drove school buses and tour buses for many years! He even ran and operated a haunted house for many years in Alaska. He called me today and gave me the sad news that his doctors delivered the news to him that they've done all they can and his life expectancy is 1-12 months. I asked him, "Brother, if you could do ANYTHING before you pass away, what would be your #1 thing you would like to do before you pass?" This is his order:
#1 Take a trip to Washington to meet all his great-grandkids.
#2 Go to Oklahoma so he and his wife can see her grandchildren.
#3 Go to Disneyland.
#4 Ride a moose
These are my brother's dying wishes!
They need plane tickets to get to WA, a rental car, gas money, and money for hotels since they plan to drive to Oklahoma.
This is a very doable bucket list, but unfortunately, they are both on disability and cannot afford this trip by themselves. I know there are family members that hold grudges, but it's time to let that go and please donate to help my brother enjoy his last days on this earth. Anything helps. Let's send my brother on an amazing trip before he leaves this earth!!!
