UPDATE: On September 8th, our dad passed away. We have two vehicles and several instruments to transport across the ferry, and two celebrations of life to plan (one public and one private). All donations and sales are going to those expenses.

Hi, my name is Robyn Hartling, and I am fundraising to raise money for our family to make memories with the man who made me who I am.

Our dad lives on an island, and the ferry charges per person. Last fall, myself snd my two sisters, and two of my nieces, went to visit him for 3 days and it cost significantly more than we had expected.

We have kids and spouses that never got to join us on that trip, and we'd really like to get a big family trip planned as soon as possible.

My dad is a tough man, and though he is vulnerable with me to a point, he won't ever tell me how bad it is. I am in constant fear of losing my dad without one last visit, and I'm the biggest daddy's girl you'll ever meet.

Any funds will help, and if you can't donate, please share to help spread the word.
