My name is Talphanita, and I’m hoping to bring my three daughters—ages 1, 8, and 9—on a family cruise this July. Our family is spread out across the country, and this cruise is a rare chance for nearly 90 of us to come together, including my grandma, cousins, uncles, aunts, and my mom. It’s a big reunion, and I want my girls to experience the love and connection that comes from being surrounded by family, something we don’t get to do often since we live out of state.


Balancing everyday bills and expenses has made it hard for me to cover the travel and cruise costs on my own. I want my daughters to have the chance to meet relatives they rarely see and to feel the support of our extended family. This trip would mean so much to us, giving my girls memories and stories to share when they return to school about their summer break. Your support will help us be part of this special family moment and create memories that will last a lifetime.


Thank you for helping us make this reunion possible.
