Emergency traveling

Donation protected
As some of you who may know, my mother, Azhibik June Howe, passed away in 2010 and I was not able to attend her funeral. I have never even met her two other children. In 2017 I came to Toronto to visit with my grandfather, Tommy Harper, for the first time since I was an infant. As well as meeting my grandfather, I met cousins, and aunts and my grand-uncle (Tommy Harper's twin), Vernon Harper. My grandfather passed away in 2016 a few months after my visit and I was not able to attend the funeral. Unfortunately, Saturday morning I was informed by my cousin, Cotee Harper (daughter of Vernon Harper), that my grand-uncle has passed away. It is so important to me that I am able to attend his service Friday. I am just beginning a new job and unfortunately will not be paid until after the service. I am asking for any donations/loans possible to pay for travel, food, and lodging. I feel as if I need to grieve and this will allow me to understand. It is such a difficult thing to live so far from people you love so dearly and it is so important to me to be with my family during this time. Please understand that I would never ask for help if I was not absolutely desperate. Thank you all so much for taking the time to help.
