Laura Floyd hasn't added a story.
Edit: For those of you who wondered: I raised the goal because people still wanted to donate. The 2500$ covers just the plane ticket, paypal fees, fundrazr fees, taxes, etc. She'll be taking unpaid leave (because she had a baby earlier this year), and I'm sure she'll have to eat while she's in Japan... so, it's for travel expenses, etc.
Nicole needs to get to Japan as soon as possible! Her mother is very, very sick and this may be her last chance to see her... if money were not a problem, she'd be there already. If you know Nicole, you know she'd do the same for you, or anyone for that matter. If you don't know her, you should. Please help us get her to her mom!
Highlights
See all activity77For those of you who do not know Nicole personally, here's another update: Nicole's mother died last night. Our hearts go out to her, as I'm sure it is difficult for any of us to imagine this kind of sorrow, if we haven't been there ourselves. Thanks to everyone who contributed anything to this campaign, She was there to hold her mother's hand at the end. This would not have been possible without all of you. Again, the fundraiser remains open for any who would like to contribute- she'll be in Japan a few more days for the funeral, and any extra monetary help is appreciated. If you'd like to send her a message, you can do that here, or you can send it to her inbox on facebook (she's under Nicole Minatsu Faure). Thanks everyone, and please send love and prayers for her. :)
Nicole Minatsu Faure
Mom passed away last night. But I held her hand the whole time and she squeezed mine and my stepdads right before. The day after tomorrow is a Tibetan Buddhist ceremony and a Shinto ceremony right after...no way I'll be ready for either but whatever. Doesn't really seem real. Any of it.

I'm so thankful that Laura realized the urgency in getting Nicole to where she needed to be and set a plan in actions so that all of us that love her could band together for her to be in such an important place at such an important and bittersweet time.

I just saw this! I pray that you will get to see your mom and get the closure that you need. This is amazing and shows that prayers can be answered :) I love you!!
