My Travel Story

by: Karyn Aliyahia Start Date: Jun 30, 2023 - End Date: Jun 29, 2024

So here's my story:

I'm an expat... I married someone from outside the USA and after living together in the USA for 9 years, we decided to move to his country which is Egypt. I have been living here for over 15 years now and not once have had the funds to travel back in all that time. I don't mind not visiting the USA but not being able to see my brother and sister for that long is killing me!  My sister messages me daily on Facebook with "I miss you so much!"

Neither my sister (autistic) nor my brother (security guard) can afford to make the trip here, so I would like to travel back to the USA to see them. The problem is always... money. I have never asked for something like this in my life. I'm usually the one supporting others who are less fortunate, which is probably why I don't have the money now to travel myself. (I am paying for my husband's grandnephew's nursery here currently because his parents are poor and can't afford it themselves.) I am a workaholic and make money but I always take care of others with that money before myself. So I don't have spare money (ever).

If you can help make a family reunion a reality, that would be amazing and the trip of a lifetime for me! I don't think I will be able to make this trip without outside help. 

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
