My Travel Story

by: Melissa Sanders Start Date: Jan 27, 2025 - End Date: Oct 26, 2025

Hi, thanks for taking the time to check out my campaign!  I am wanting to fund a trip to Walt Disney World for my dearest friend, Jennifer. In 2011, I was hospitalized for kidney failure. My diagnosis was lupus (SLE). Since then, I have been in and out of hospitals with various infections and illnesses that come with lupus. Jennifer has three children: one in college, one is autistic, and one a toddler. She works full time and recently got her masters degree while she was pregnant. Despite all that she has going on, she's been with me every step of the way. She's cried with me and laughed with me. She's kept me going when I've wanted to give up. She's saved me.  

She's never been to Disney World and I would love to make that dream of hers come true. I want to go all out: a snazzy resort, visits to the spa, all the relaxation, fun, and laughter she deserves. It's the least I can do for her. 

This isn't a mission trip or some noble excursion. It's just me wanting to show a friend how much she has meant to me. 

Thank you for your consideration. ♥️
