Fuel for Holly to return to CO after meeting long lost family
Posted May 17, 2023
Holly is traveling from Colorado to Ohio, meeting her paternal family for the first time at a family reunion! She has connected with them through ancestry.com and is excited to learn more about herself and her lost family members. Her father passed away when she was a child and Holly did not have the opportunity to know this side of her family. Holly needs assistance with gas money to return to Colorado after her experience. She is currently attending college and working part time, so funds are tight. She will be so thrilled to make this trip a reality.
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.
