My Travel Story

Hi,
Most of my friends know that I have not been able to go to my birth country, France, for 18 years due to lack of finance and time. The last time, my oldest had just turned 1 and she is now 19!! As I am not in touch with my familly, it has been difficult to plan to go with 4 kids with not only the cost of flying but accomodation too. Hopefully, I will take Megan and Liam, my two youngest, there during the summer 2020 or 2021!
This would fulfill one of my biggest wish by showing my kids where I grew up. I have also found, via social media, some of my old school friends and I would really love to see them again. I might even get reunited with some of my family....Who knows?!
I am trying to save but it seems to be taken me for ever and I sometimes feel that it's a dream which will not come true for a long time. With my 50th birthday just around the corner, some friends wanted to give me a gift and suggested that they would give towards my savings. So, I looked around for a way for them to donate to me but without me touching it for daily spending and I found this fundraising website. If you feel you can help me, I would be very grateful. 
Love to you all
Christine
