Call me Maang. I am not a writer and I apologize if this post is badly written. However, I would like to humbly ask a little bit of your time to read my plea and perhaps, if you could help, I will be forever grateful.
I am married to a very loving and understanding husband, and a mother to a happy, smart, 3 year old boy. I am originally from Davao, a city in the southern Philippines.
The reason that I am writing this is that since I came to the US back in 2007, I have never seen any of my family and they have never even met my 3 year old son yet. We just didn't have any extra money to spend on a vacation. They have seen photos of my son but not in real life yet. A week ago, my mom called to inform me that my lolo (grandfather), her father, who is 84 years old was brought to the hospital because he suffered a minor stroke. Though he had survived that, my family thinks he might not have a lot of time left. This got me heartbroken and depressed that i could't afford to go see them, and have my parents see their first grandson for the first time, and probably the first and last time for my grandparents (my son's great grandparents).
My husband told me that he will borrow some money to buy tickets for me and my son so we can go the Philippines. Unfortunately, he can't afford to be off from work so he has decided to just stay here when we go. I wish we don't have to borrow any money. We both don't have credit cards because we don't like to be in debt. This is why I am trying to raise $2,500 by donations so I could take my son and visit our family and relatives in the Philippines even for just 2 weeks. Two-way plane tickets for both of us is about $1,700 and the rest will be used as spending money while we are there. As soon as I get enough money I will buy the tickets and hopefully before it's too late. My husband is a very proud man and he doesn't know about this post and that I am asking for donations. I would really appreciate any financial help and as a thank you, i will mail you something I will make myself for you if you will provide your mailing address. Really, I would love to give you something in return for your generosity. I won't tell you what, you'll know when you get it. Any amount would be appreciated. Please help me. I don't know what else to do. :_(
