My Travel Story

by: Gary Thatcher Start Date: Mar 22, 2024 - End Date: Mar 21, 2025
At 62, a bittersweet journey calls. Born in Russia, I arrived in the US as a curious 6-year-old. Though years have brought distance, and sadly, the passing of loved ones, a yearning to revisit my childhood home stirs within me. It might be my last chance to see the place that shaped my early years – a bittersweet mix of joy and heartache.

Congestive heart failure adds another layer to this dream. Every donation, no matter how big or small, would bring me closer to walking those familiar streets again. It would be a chance to reconnect with my past and find closure, perhaps even create new memories in this place that holds a special part of my story. Thank you for considering my heartfelt request.
