Fuel for Holly to get to Ohio to meet long lost family

Posted May 11, 2023
Holly has been learning a lot about herself and her natural family. When Holly was 10 years old, her father passed away. She never really got to know him before he died, so she knows little about that side of her family. Holly recently did some researching on ancestry.com and connected with some family. They have spoken on the phone and started building a relationship. Holly is hoping to travel halfway across the country to be apart of a family reunion and meet this family that she never knew she had. Since Holly is finishing up her degree and only working part time, funds are tight. Holly could use some help to pay for gas so she can travel to visit her family.

Holly is 41 years old and lives in CO

Holly is a hard working woman who has had a lot of struggles in her life. It has been difficult to overcome a lot of the trauma she endured as a child but she is working through it and building a life she can be proud of. She doesn't tell many people she was in foster care because she doesn't want people to feel sorry for her. Holly wants to be seen as the strong, hard working woman that she is but also wants others to know that they can do anything they put their minds to. She loves waitressing and getting to know other people. She is very talkative and enjoys a good conversation.
