Help Make Sam's Last Wish Come True

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who has donated!! The response to this has been amazing and I can’t even fathom it! You guys are THE BEST!! We’ve already started planning and I’m SO excited.

I did raise the goal bc I underestimated how much it will be to rent a wheelchair van for 10 days and to find accessible accommodation. Absolutely no obligation to donate! Everything so far will help IMMENSELY.

Hey everyone!! I’m Sam! I’m a 29-year-old who lives near Memphis, TN. I’ve been sick for the last 6 years or so, but I’ve just made the decision to transition into hospice care. This has been a difficult decision, but I’m at peace with it. I’ve been fighting so long, I’m getting tired.

As a final wish, I really want to visit Atlanta. I have family there I would like to see one more time. My favorite animals are capybaras, and there’s a safari where you can go and hang out with them! I would also love to go to their aquarium as well.

I’ve wanted to go for years, but it’s never been a priority, and it would be expensive because I’d need to rent a wheelchair van, find accessible accommodations while we’re there, gas, etc. But now that I’ve made this decision, I really want to prioritize going.

This is where I need y’all’s help! I absolutely HATE asking people for donations, but there’s no way we (my family and I) can afford this on our own. I will appreciate anything you can spare, and if you can’t donate, sharing helps a ton too!!

Thank you for everything! I appreciate and love you all!
