Hello!  I am writing this message asking for help for my parents.
They were married December 19, 1966 and in December of 1996 celebrated
their 30th wedding anniversary.  They have a wonderful marriage, great
examples of what marriage is about.  They have never been on a
honeymoon and on this anniversary, merely went out to a local
restaurant for their anniversary (Under $20 for both)  None of us (My
parents, my brother or my two sisters) can afford to send them on a
real honeymoon.  So I am writing this post, asking all to donate one
dollar ($1) to me, to create a fund to send my parents on a honeymoon,
of which they have never had.  They have never been well off and
therefore have never really had a very romantic honeymoon.  My goal is
to have enough money to send them on a decent celebration.  Even
though it's now March, it's not too late to send them on a honeymoon.
If I had five hundred people send one dollar each, that would be
plenty to send them on a good honeymoon!  So please, find it in your
hearts to send one dollar to me, wrapped in a piece of paper so mail
handlers won't see the dollar (They might steal it), and forward this
message to everyone you correspond with.  Please note that this is NOT
a money-making scheme, simply an attempt to send my folks on a
homeymoon!  Thank you so much!
