Laying our father to rest

Donation protected
“Any man can be a Father, but it takes a special person to be a Dad.” We had been been blessed with a fabulous Dad who set a great example in all that he did. He may not have been perfect or always there, but he stepped in when it counted. It's not always an easy thing to have the courage to do the right thing, even if it takes you a bit of time to get there in the end. Sometimes there are consequences that can hurt you or others when you do the right thing, but it is still always the best choice. That is something we learned from our Dad and we are grateful to him for teaching us that and for every other example he set for me in my life. He is our hero, as every good dad should be to his kids. We love him with all our heart. That's why it's such a shame we're unable to bury him in the manner he deserves. Our father died on the 19th of April of a massive heart attack at the age of sixty. He was too young to die. it wasn't his time. He died abroad and we have no way to get to him. He deserves better than to be laid in some nameless grave and forgotten. The goal we've set is enough to have him shipped home and cremated. We need the money as  soon as possible cause the cost of keeping him at the funeral home he's located at is very high. Transporting a body overseas is expensive. We're putting our own money towards this as well, though we don't have that much to spare. Any help you can give us at all is greatly appreciated.
