8 days from now will be my mother's 60th birthday. 🎂 😀

I am planning to give her a surprise birthday gift/treat. That's why I started #upfundme post to achieve my goals/plans.

Brief History Of My Mother Dear

From the very start what we know, August 11 is the birthday of my mother dear. That was her birthday as what her late mother/my grandmother said before. But three years ago when my mother get her NSO Live Birth Certificate as it was needed by her for completing her requirements at SSS. She was surprised that she has no record in NSO office. She went to the Local Civil Registrar to check her records. To her dismay she found out that her records wasn't forwarded to NSO. She filed for a late registration. And to her surprise her birthday is not August 11. It was stated that her birthday was August 4, 1958. After 56 years, that was the time she knows the facts about her birthday.

August 2015

I went home to celebrate her first ever birthday. I brought a cake for her. She was laughing at me as she said, Why #57? It should be #1. It's my first birthday. She was happy then that I am present on her first birthday celebration. That was the first time ever that she had a cake and blows a candle. 😀

This coming 4 August 2018 is my mother's 60th birhday. As a gift on her 60th birthday, I'd like to give her a birthday party or a treat to have a vacation in Cebu, Philippines together with my father as my gift to her birthday and my gift to my parents to their wedding anniversary last March.

I know with the help of Steemit, Steemit friends and #upfundme movement it will be possible for me to give her a birthday party and a vacation in Cebu for 3 night and 4 days. 😀💖 I still have 8 days to gather funds as I needed Php 5,000.00 ($100 USD) for her birthday party and Php 20,000.00 ($400 USD) all in (fare, hotel and food) for her vacation in Cebu with my father. A total of Php 25,000.00 ($500 USD) more or less.

Total earnings as of today: 20.15 SBD ($23.576 current exchange rate)
Target Goal: $500 USD (Php 25,000.00)
Target Date: August 4, 2018

Every little helps are highly appreciated. I thank you all in advance. Bright blessings! 😘😘💖💖
