My Travel Story

by: Charlene R Start Date: Aug 7, 2025 - End Date: Oct 25, 2025
In the heart of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the turquoise waters meet pristine shores, where my mom lives. For decades, she has been the anchor of her family and a beloved figure in her community, known for her warm smile and the way she could make a house feel like a home. But today,  my mom  is fighting a battle far more challenging than any  thing .She is suffering from a serious and debilitating illness that requires specialized medical treatment not available on the island. While the beauty of her home offers her peace, its remoteness presents a monumental obstacle to her recovery. The hardest part is seeing the light in her eyes dim as she grapples with the pain and the logistical nightmare of her care. Her  grandchildren and her daughter watch helplessly, their hearts breaking as they struggle to find a way to get her the help she desperately needs. Medical flights, mainland hospital stays, and ongoing treatments come at a cost far beyond what a single family can bear. She  deserves to fight her illness with the full support of modern medicine, without having to leave the paradise she has always called home.
We our donation will go directly toward funding her medical transport, flights  to the mainland, covering her hospital bills, and providing for the long-term treatments that will give her a chance at recovery. / walk
