Support a Long Overdue Family Reunion

Donation protected
Hello. My oldest daughter Gretchen moved to Tokyo, Japan, in May of 2017, to join her boyfriend who is now her Husband. She has not been able to come back to America since then, due the covid pandemic, her job there, and lack of funds. Her younger sister Jenny and I haven't seen Gretchen in 9 years. The first week of August we have planned to somehow meet in New York City, the place where Gretchen was born and spent most of her childhood. Gretchen is dying to see her family, and also see the place where she grew up through her now adult eyes. Gretchen is taking care of her plane ticket to come to America. But Jenny and I are struggling to come up with the money to get to New York (via Greyhound bus), and the 7 day Hotel expenses. We want to spend 7 days in New York as a long overdue reunion for our little family of three. We want to stay in Queens, where my girls grew up, and take a Greyhound bus to get there and back. We only have 3 days left to come up with the money.

Please. I haven't seen my daughter in 9 long years and I miss her desperately every single day. If you are a parent, imagine not being able to see your child for 9 years. If you can understand how heartbreaking this is and are able, could you please find it in your heart to donate to make our dream of such a special family reunion come true? Any amount will help. Please share this, even if you can't help. Share it everywhere if you would be so kind. Thank you so much in advance for your kindness and generosity, and May God Bless you for helping us in this time of need.
