My Travel Story

My mom passed away when I was 9 and I always thought my dad walked out on us. I don't remember him. It turns out, that's not the case. He recently found me, on Facebook. He explained that when I was 3 years old, he was working in California. He was going to catch a flight to Vegas, my hometown, to come see my mom and I. He was deported and had no way of communicating with my family. Technology wasn't what it is today. He tried writing to my mom but everything was sent back. Now, I know it was because we were evicted the week he was deported. I've gotten so close to him. He's everything I thought a father should be. I need help to finally meet him face to face. But i can't afford the flight. I just want to meet my dad. I want my kids to have at least 1 grandparent. Please, help me get to the man that I feel in my heart, has never stopped looking for me. It's all I want. I don't care for a luxury vacation, or fancy get-a-ways. I just want to hold the man that I look exactly like and finally feel like I belong to a family.
