Help Us Make Memories — Hiedi’s Dream Road Trip
RV Road Trip from Massachusetts to Yellowstone National Park
⸻
Hi, I’m Wendy, and I’d love to share something deeply personal and important with you.
⸻
Meet Hiedi
Hiedi is my big sister, my hero, and my best friend. She’s the kind of person who makes you laugh when you feel like crying — strong, kind, and absolutely unforgettable. Her dream has always been to travel cross-country in an RV — to chase sunsets, stop at silly roadside attractions, and live freely and fully.
⸻
The Hard News
Recently, we received devastating news: Hiedi’s cancer has spread and is no longer curable. But if you know her, you know she’s not one to give up her joy. With her wife Dionne by her side and me cheering her on, she’s choosing memories over fear, adventure over despair, and joy over everything.
⸻
The Big Dream
We’re making it happen — an 18-day RV adventure with 4–5 days stationed at the breathtaking Yellowstone National Park, Hiedi’s dream destination. Together, the three of us — Hiedi, Dionne, and me — will travel the open road, soak in the moments, and film the journey to create a short documentary filled with laughter, love, and resilience.

Why We’re Asking for Help
We’re hoping to raise funds to cover:
• RV rental & gas
• ⛺ Campground stays
• ️ Food & supplies
• Equipment to help us document the journey
Every dollar brings us one mile closer to turning this dream into a memory we’ll carry forever.

How You Can Help
Even a small donation means the world. We’ll keep you along for the ride with photos, video updates, and livestreams from the road. Whether you give $5 or just share our story, you’re helping us create joy in the middle of heartache.
