A Mom’s Wish: Help Me Visit My Daughter in Australia After 2 Heartbreaking Years Apart

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I’m a mom reaching out with a hopeful heart and a heavy one too.

It’s been over two years since I’ve seen my daughter — two long years of birthdays, holidays, and everyday moments missed. She moved to Australia to start a new chapter in her life, and while I’m proud of her courage, the distance has left a hole in my heart that grows every day.

I haven’t been able to visit her — not once — and the truth is, I can’t afford to. I’ve been unemployed for the past year, doing everything I can just to keep from losing my home, but international travel is far beyond what I can manage right now. Every time we video call, I put on a smile, but behind it is the deep ache of a mom who just wants to hug her daughter, best friend, and road trip co-pilot.

That’s why I’m here. I’m humbly asking for your help to make this trip possible — to finally see my daughter, in person, after two years apart.
The funds will go toward:

-A round-trip flight to Australia
-Basic accommodation
-Local transportation and food

I’m not asking for a luxury trip — I just want to sit across from her, hold her hand, and feel like a mom again, even if just for a short visit.

If you can help in any way — through donations or even just by sharing this page — I would be forever grateful. Your kindness would bring a mother and daughter back together after far too long.

Thank you from the depths of my heart,
Kelly
