My Travel Story

by: Nathan Crow Start Date: Sep 5, 2023 - End Date: Jan 4, 2024
Please help give my dad one last chance to see his family.  My dad's been recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure, among his many other ailments related to diabetes. in the past three years, he's been dealing with a lot.  The loss of his son and my brother, COVID-19, a leg amputation, and a spinal fracture.  He would really love to see his family out in the Midwest one last time.  However, due to being on a fixed income, he cannot afford it and his mobility limits his options.  We think that if we could rent an RV to take him out there, it would be possible for him to travel.  
We do all we can to encourage my dad to live to his fullest potential even with all the difficulties.  For the past two years, he has been gardening from his wheelchair and I have been helping him with the heavy lifting.  My father enjoys painting as well.  He has always given back to the community.  He has worked for the past twenty years as a painting instructor, teaching oil painting to people all over the USA and Europe. He teaches students of all levels and especially loves teaching other seniors and handicapped students.
