I wouldn't be writing this, if it wasn't for a good reason. I don't like to ask.

But I need help.

I lost my father, Ralph McKenzie. I found out the morning of 20th December 2024 (21st for New Zealand), that my father had passed away in his sleep after fighting a multitude of medical ailments. And all I can think of was how are my mother and sister, as I am a world apart from them with no emergency plan in place.

My year sucked. I don't need to go into it, but I can't afford this worlds travel costs. Could of awhile ago when things we're reasonable. But not so much now.

A quick google search from Regina, SK, Canada -> Auckland, NZ... $2,700CAD +Fees +Taxes. Not to mention we have ongoing costs that are typically paid by working. But are unavailable while away.

So, anything to help me get home. It would mean the world. Even if I can't get there right way, I'll be there Mum and Melissa.
