Hi, my name is Jessica, and I’m a mom trying to give my daughter something very simple but deeply meaningful—hope.

The past few years have been incredibly hard on our family. My daughter has been struggling with her health, and it has taken so much from her: energy, normal routines, and moments that most teens get to enjoy without a second thought. Through it all, she’s stayed strong, kind, and determined to keep moving forward.

One thing she has held onto is the dream of going on her Grade 12 Europe trip with her classmates. This trip isn’t just a vacation to her—it represents normalcy, joy, and a chance to feel like a regular teenager again after everything she’s been through. It’s something she talks about with excitement and hope, and it breaks my heart to think of her missing out.

Financially, I’m doing everything I can, but I simply can’t cover the full cost on my own. Asking for help is not easy, but watching my daughter be heartbroken would be far harder. She deserves this opportunity—this memory, this experience, this moment of happiness.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, or share this fundraiser with others, it would mean more than I can put into words. Your support could help make her wish come true and remind her that kindness and community still exist.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us turn a difficult chapter into a hopeful one. 💙
