Hello friends and family! I’m asking for help to get myself, Anissa and Silas to Aubrey’s boot camp graduation in Chicago on January 8,2026. Asking for help isn’t easy, but loved ones have encouraged me to try. My sweet Aubrey is graduating Navy boot camp in a few weeks and the expenses are intense. Flights have to be refundable which increases the price dramatically. It looks like we will have about 3-4 days to spend with Aubrey (all depends what the Navy says and it can be changed at any time) and after that she will be going straight to Mississippi for A school for a year.

Food, lodging and rental car are all factors.

We are in a time of transition at the shop and while I’m more than ready and willing to work extra, the holidays are approaching and let’s face it, tattoos aren’t a necessity. I hope you will consider helping us get to this momentous occasion in our family’s life and give Aubrey the love and support she so deserves. Thanks for considering and please share.

Much love and gratitude,

Manda, Anissa and Silas ❤️
