Good day to anyone who is reading this page. 

I have had a lot of setbacks this year. I have lost a job, and very special people who have passed on this year. This is been a very hard year for me, but it has taught me a lot about faith because of my faith and my belief. I was blessed with a better job and I was blessed with a better car. I also have the opportunity of building a closer relationship with my father, my siblings, and my father side of the family.  There's nothing that I would not do for family. Due to the significant losses that we have encountered, my dad has pledged to be not only a vital part in my in my siblings life, but also a guiding light. 

His dream is to go on a cruise with his family for New Year's. He wants to be able to enjoy having his children around as adults because we weren't all together and with him as children.  I would want nothing more than to fulfill that dream for my dad. I am working hard towards that but with getting acclimated to my brand new job and getting caught up on bills as well as trying to save up to be a first time home owner things are a little difficult as of right now I am $2500 short of being able to participate in this trip 

If you could find it in your heart to make a donation towards making memories with my family, I will be eternally, grateful. A common lesson that I have learned this year and I know that it's cliché that life is too short and anything and anyone can be gone in the blink of an eye, and all you have are memories and I want to be able to continue to build these memories with my dad and my siblings.
