Help Rae Reunite with Brother Before Time Runs Out
Donation protected
My name is Rae and I have VEDS (Vascular Ehler-Danlos Syndrome), a condition that will kill me while I'm young. I am working on my end of life bucket list because I am shifting into the final stage of my life. I am writing this from the hospital, where I've been for 5 days due to my stomach and colon shutting down. Once organs stop functioning it is a downhill slope because VEDS affects all systems of the body, so I am shifting my mentality to adjust to the most important things to me before I die. My brother and I were separated in childhood through trafficking and trauma, from a biological mother who did everything in her power to keep us apart so we couldn't have support and camaraderie with one another. I haven't lived with him since we were kids, the last time I saw him was in 2020, and the time before that I can't even remember. My brother has a baby on the way, due in approx. 4 weeks, and I need to see him before his son is born because he won't be able to afterwards. I will have to fly back to Tampa, FL to see him, which is where a large portion of my childhood trauma was. I will need to pay for flights for myself and my caregiver, Rue, as well as food and hotels. Anything you can do to help me reconnect with my brother before death is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
