Dear Family & Friends,
Many of you know I was looking forward to a big birthday party next year to celebrate my 50th. I have decided instead to start a “Fulfill a Wish Fund” to help my sister Shirley make a dream of hers a reality, to see the Grand Canyon. Shirley has been battling Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for many years and between bouts of chemo and antidepressants – she fantasizes about being well enough to see the Grand Canyon someday. So if you were planning on helping me to celebrate my milestone birthday next year, I would ask you instead to consider helping me to take Shirley to the Grand Canyon. How we get her there and where and how long we stay and etc depends on how much I can put away in the “Fulfill a Wish Fund” beyond the monies I had began to set aside for my party.
You all know me, and hopefully you know me well enough to know I do not often ask for help with anything and I would never ask for money… but I think this is something that I can only do right with assistance.
In the coming weeks I plan to research estimated costs for travel and ect and I will set an approximate target goal of how much I think we will need. I then will be creating a fundraising site for information and submission of donations – please let me know if you would be willing to make a contribution either of resources or monetary donations when I am ready. I thank each and every one of you so much in advance for your consideration of this request.
Much Love,
Sandi
