Help me meet someone close to my heart

I am trying to raise money to meet someone who has done a lot for me. An amazing online friend who has been by my side through thick and thin and has picked me up from my darkest times. I hold her very close to my heart. She is like a sister to me and I have been waiting and hoping to meet her for the longest time.  I am hoping to surprise her with this money so that all of her gas is paid for. This would be enough money for her to pay for gas for the 25 hour drive. 
    Once the goal is reached, the funds will go directly to her PayPal and hopefully it will make her smile. Things are still up in the air now but she is supposed to be coming May 22nd. I would need the funds before that but if the trip is postponed, then I will leave the fundraiser up for longer. 
  In all honesty, this would mean more to me than you know. Even just a dollar helps. This would make me the happiest so I can finally get that chance to hug her and thank her for everything in person.
