HELP ME MAKE MY MOTHER'S LAST WISH COME TRUE
Hello, my name is Valentina, I am from Santiago de Chile, and in the picture there's me and my mother, Marta, just coming out of the hospital after a month. She battled cervical cancer for 2 years. In December 18th, 2015, she passed away because of it.
Ever since she was around 6 years old, she was in love with England and always had this fascination for it. After doing research, she found out that her family had come from England (specifically Cornwall) and told us that her dream was to go there and see the cemetery where her family was buried. After she got diagnosed, and while she was staying in the hospital for a month (she had 2 months to live but we never told her), I made a promise to her. I promised I would take her to England so she could make her dream come true. Because of her state - she had had a double partial nephrectomy from her cancer spreading - and because I didn't have the money, I couldn't take her.
Even though she passed away, I want to keep my promise. I want to take her ashes to England and scatter them where her family is buried. I want to go to all the places she never got to see and the place she always talked about for hours: Lamorna Cove.
I am a teacher here in Chile, so I don't make a lot of money. After all the treatment and bills from the funeral, we are millions of pesos in debt. I'm making this fundrasing campaign because I want to help my dad pay for all of that, and also because of my mother's last wish.
She was the most amazing woman and mother. Everyone loved her so deeply. I think she deserves it, and I'm asking for your help.
If you can't donate, please share. Any amount raised will go to bills and trip fund.
Thank you so much.
