I am raising funds for myself so I can travel to Florida for the birth of my first grandchild. This is a very important moment in my life, and I am asking for help getting there for a brief visit and then returning to Seattle. I really want to be there to see my grandchild be born. Nine years ago, I came to Seattle to find my half little brother. After that move, I became homeless, and I have been unable to work because of mental health issues connected to trauma and abuse. Because of that, I do not have the money for this trip on my own. The funds from this fundraiser would go toward an Amtrak round trip to Florida and back. I need to keep the visit short because I am already committed to trauma and abuse therapy at Harborview in Seattle, which is care I have needed since childhood. Being able to make this trip and still return for therapy would mean a great deal to me. If you are able to help, any donation or share would support me in being there for the birth of my first grandchild and getting back to Seattle for my therapy appointments. Thank you for reading and for any support you can give.
