Penny reached out to Give A Mile with hopes of visiting her beloved uncle, who has been a steadfast presence in her life. Penny’s trip from Sacramento to Arkansas is an important reminder of the enduring bonds of family and the lengths we go to be with our loved ones in times of need
Living as a single mom in California, daily struggles and expenses have prevented Penny from seeing her uncle in recent years. Now, as he faces cancer, her determination to see him one last time illuminates the deep love and respect between them. Penny’s uncle, who is now in hospice care, has been her rock since her parents passed, a source of unwavering support and kindness.
This trip is an opportunity for Penny to express her gratitude to her uncle. They will be able to share moments of laughter and reflection and find comfort in each other. It’s a chance to say the unsaid, to cherish the present, and to create memories that will be held dear in the future.
Penny, upon hearing the news of her granted flight, expressed not only her own gratitude, but that her visit will “mean the absolute world” to her aunt and uncle.
This is me and my uncle about two and a half years ago right after his diagnosis. This visit is going to mean the absolute world to him and my aunt.
