Please help us reunite!

Hello. My name is Jeanne, and I am trying to raise the money to reunite with my daughter, Sherry. She was erroneously taken from me and we haven't seen each other in over 30 years.

I had started to believe that we would never find one another. I had no clue how to look for her, other than sign up on several websites as a birth mother looking. By the grace of God, she found me because of one of those sites, on April 12, 2023.

We originally planned our reunion for Memorial Weekend this year, but due to medical issues at the time, those plans quickly evaporated. We started replanning and chose Labor Day weekend as our new date.

I am disabled and unable to work due to a near fatal car accident in 2013. My spouse makes just enough to eek out our monthly living expenses.

I have waited so long to start this fundraiser, as I don't like to ask for help. I like to be the "helper", not the "helpee".

My daughter was abused her entire childhood by the woman who raised her. She was denied the right to proper education. She was lied to and told she wasn't loved or wanted. When she turned 18 and escaped the abuse, she went to the DMV to get her license and handed them her "Amended" Birth Certificate. She was told it was told it was invalid and nobody with her name existed.

Since the day she was taken from me, everyone in my life has been told about her. I loved her before she came into this world. I have loved her and wanted her with me everyday since. I am blessed that I have the opportunity to be "with" her again. I am blessed that she loves me enough to want the same!

I am trying to make sure I have enough money to pay for a round trip flight, rent a car if possible and pay for my own food and expenses while I am there. I am planning on being there for about a week. I would like to head out on or around August 31, 2023.

Any and all help would be appreciated. My daughter, Sherry, is planning on commenting on her story pov in the comments, and I am asking friends and family to do the same. I want everyone to know, this is NOT a scam. It is an attempt to right a very tragic wrong.

Thank you in advance!!! May our Heavenly Father bless you, whether you can help us or not!!!
