Support a Heartfelt Retirement Gift to Alaska

For those of you that know my parents, you know what amazing people they truly are. They both have the biggest hearts, and have always helped friends and family when needed. You know how hard they have worked their whole lives. Still to date I have never met someone who has worked harder than my father. They have always supported me and my dreams, and now it's my turn to support theirs. I am taking them to Alaska this summer as it's the one place they both want to visit the most. They deserve this trip of a lifetime and I want to show them where I spent a summer working and show them where it all began for me in Denali with grizzly bears and wolves. They made that trip happen for me when I was 17 years old and now I am going to make it happen for them. Due to some sad and unfortunate health issues with my mom, time is of the essence so I am not wasting any time in making this happen.

Last year my mom retired after being an OT in the Manchester school district for over 35 years. My dad has been an iron worker for well over 35 years and will be officially retiring this fall. They both did not want big parties so I am making this account as a way for people to contribute to their retirement gift if they choose to do so. There is absolutely no pressure to contribute and they do not know I am doing this and I will keep it a surprise until we are on our way.

Please know this is not set up as a charity fundraiser, I am purely using this platform as an easy way to consolidate their retirement gift. If you would prefer to not contribute via this platform or get them something else that is fine too! I will let my parents know who contributed, but will not tell them exact dollar amounts.

They are already so excited for this, and I am so glad they have this to look forward to. Thank you so much in advance for contributing to their retirement gift to Alaska!
