What Linda cares about

I’m Linda, nearly 80, a lifelong caregiver and artist. I’ve spent my life helping others, I’m asking for help to keep me from being evicted from my mobile home.

    There are moments in life that don’t come around twice. A loving grandmother has one of those moments right now. Her grandson’s school band has been invited to perform at Disneyland, and like any proud grandmother, she wants to be there… to see it, to feel it, to cheer him on. But the cost of the trip is more than she can comfortably manage, and it’s weighing on her heart. This grandmother is someone who has spent her life showing kindness to others. She is gentle, giving, and always thinking of those around her. She has also walked through more than her share of life’s hardships. She has faced serious health challenges, including a life-threatening medical emergency where she was gone for several minutes and fought her way back. Her strength, faith, and grace through everything she has endured are nothing short of remarkable. Through it all, she has remained the same kind, loving person… the kind of person who would never ask for help, even when she deserves it most. That’s why I am asking. I would love for us to come together and help her get to Disneyland… not just to attend, but to truly enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment with her family, without the weight of worry. Our goal is $2,444… enough to cover her trip and add a little extra joy, because sometimes a blessing should come with a bit of sparkle. To respect her privacy, I am keeping her identity anonymous and not sharing personal photos. All funds raised will be given in full to her for this trip. If you’re able to give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you’re not, sharing this would mean just as much. Let’s help a loving grandmother be there for a moment that will live in her heart forever

    It matters to me because it’s my real life right now. I’m doing everything I can to stay in my home, keep working as a caregiver, and hold onto hope. At 80, I never imagined I’d be here but I still believe in kindness, community, and small miracles
