My name is Reily Kei, and I’m a mother diagnosed with severe heart failure. My heart only works at 24% capacity. I’ve long waited to become a mom, and now that I have my baby girl, I want to create memories with her and give her moments of joy while I still can.

My reason for traveling to Japan is deeply personal. I want to look for my long-lost father and finally introduce my daughter to him because last time I talked to him he is also sick and I have no communication with him since then. I don’t know how much time I have left, and I want her to know where she came from, to feel that love and connection I’ve missed all my life.

I’m also asking for help with:

Medication and check-ups I can’t afford due to overwhelming debt causing mental stress that worsen my condition because of frequent calling of collection agencies.
I would also like to starting a small store at home, so I can continue to sustain my medications and check ups.
This trip is not a vacation. It’s a healing journey, a last hope to reconnect, reflect, and breathe, even for just a while. I dream of holding my daughter’s hand while walking through peaceful places in Japan, soaking in joy, and letting her see me happy, strong, and alive.

With your help, I hope to heal, rebuild, and leave something better behind for my daughter. I will be forever grateful, and I sincerely wish you all the best in life for sharing what you can to help me collect the pieces of myself again.

These past few months have been filled with silent pain and deep sadness. I’ve been battling not only my illness but the fear of leaving my child too soon without memories, without moments, without truly knowing me. That’s why this journey means so much. It's not just a trip... it’s my way of giving her something to hold on to, in case time runs out faster than we hoped.

I wish everyone a blessed and prosperous life. Thank you
