HELP MY MOM SEE HER MOM AGAIN! 

my mom has been in the united states for 17 years as of this past April. in almost 2 decades being in the united states with no family outside of her children, she has only gotten to visit her mother and her family still living in viet nam once.

my grandma this year is 83 years old and as of late has been getting weaker after having fell and suffered from a mild concussion.

this ask is pretty simple, actually. help me raise money to at least cushion (if not cover) the cost of one airplane ticket so my mom can see her mom towards the end of this year and provide some support for health needs still lingering for my grandma.

as of july 1st, 2013, airplane tickets for the projected day of her departure from charlotte, nc and arrival in ho chi minh city, viet nam start at about $2000+. you can check that out here: http://www.kayak.com/#/flights/CLT-SGN/2013-12-21/2014-01-03

the goal for this fundraiser is $3500 to hopefully cover this plane ticket and cushion some other financial worries my mom may have about traveling and being away from work for 2 weeks.

i will be providing some financial support to fund her trip and any possible doctor’s visits my grandma may still need.

some of the costs may also go towards flying my sister out to seattle, wa for some part of the time my mom is out of the country.

i have felt and have heard my mom’s urgency. i told my mom i’ve got her back and she’s not sure how and i’m not sure either so let’s do this y’all!

thank you so much. please donate what you can and share this widely.

HELP MY MOM SEE HER MOM AGAIN! 

woah y’all! thanks for all of y’all’s support so far. we’re basically like 1/3 of the way there. please share this post! i’m in the process of catching up on responding to emails but if you have donated and haven’t heard from me: you will soon. thanks again for all of the love.
