A little backstory to why Ireland is the destination. 

My family is from Chile, but we moved to USA in 1998. I was 5 years old. Movies have always been a huge way for us to connect as a family. It was used as a reward for chores, birthday surprises, and my mons favorite, "mommy and me" dates. 

As a final family moment together in Chile my mom took us to the movie theater for what would be my first time going, and a pinnacle moment for who id become as a person. The movie we saw was Titanic, so it became OUR movie. We would think of home anytime we saw it in the future, and even have many family dates to see it in theaters any time it was rereleased. Its been a huge bonding film for the 4 of us for almost 30 years. 

My mom recently turned 60 and she always said she wanted to do something big, a memorable celebration for a grand life shes lived. Unfortunately things havent been in oir favor monitarily(as it has been for so many people around the world). It feels a little selfish to ask for donations for what feels like a greedy trip, but its something that i truly believe my mom amd siblings deserve. As the youngest in a divourced household, my siblings became my solid foundation in life. Classic immigrant tale, mom worked 3 jobs, 7 days a week. So i was raised by incredible siblings who have and will always be there for me. 

 Anywho, the ship Titanic left from Belfast in 1912, where they have an incredible museum with beautiful history. Its my dream to be able to take my entire family to this place and get to visit an actual stop of the ship that consequently brought us sp close together and created an immeasurable bond in us. And getting to explore the beautiful lands of Ireland is just an incredible plus that has been my moms dream for years. 

 I know its not a world changing dream but its one that would make an incredible woman incredibly happy (and i get those brownie points for making it a reality with your help).
