Hi my name is Mark. I am raising funds for my mother Patricia to go visit my sister and her family in Germany. They moved there rather suddenly. They went to Germany for a soccer tournament for their oldest daughter who is very highly skilled. While they were there playing soccer, Lily was scouted and asked to join a soccer club that feeds a professional soccer team. They thought it was a great opportunity and they sacrificed everything to be able to stay there and Lily could play soccer for 3 years when she would turn 18 and could stay on her own and play professionally. That was 2 years ago. My mom would go to visit them twice a year when they lived in SanDiego, always finding the cheapest flights. My mom really misses them and wants to go visit very much. Flying to Germany is a much longer flight than flying to California and Patricia has had a number of health issues with her heart and a new knee along with back pains and other aches she would not be able to fly all the way to Germany in economy so she has to fly first class to have any level of comfort she is 81 and has never flown in first class, mainly because it just wasn't affordable .  Everyone of us in her family are strapped for cash and we are going to give all that we can but mom will need $6000.00 - $8000.00 fly first class so I/ we are reaching out for as much of the money we can get to give it to her for Christmas and she can travel in the spring. Thanks in advance for your generous donation .
