I'm asking for help bringing my family home

Donation protected
As many of you know I have been stranded with my family in the Philippines for 2 years. It would be exhausting to type out all the things we've dealt with in order to get home and you would be exhausted reading it. Just take me at my word that there has been NO way to get my family home.
 
A few weeks ago I finally got my sons birth certificate so I could report his birth and get his passport, and I was able to expedite my wife's visa interview...so we flew to Manila very excited. My wife unfortunately has been held up for more medical tests before they grant her visa. The infuriating thing is we had her tested for the exact same thing on our island to make sure this wouldn't happen. But somehow it did and it's a bit of a nightmare. So we've had to cancel our flights to San Francisco and now are faced with how and where to live for the next 3 months while we await the test results and the re-scheduled visa interview. After 2 years of little work I was able to book our flights and airbnb on my credit card rewards and I was feeling pretty slick. Like I was sliding into home and could get back to the hustle when I landed. Turns out I slid into third base and I need some help sliding into home.
 
I have come up with what I think is a GREAT idea that inspires me and will not only save my family from a serious hardship, but will give me great purpose and direction in a challenging time.
 
With your help, I will be able to put my family up in a two bedroom apartment for 3 months, and one bedroom will be my studio. I will produce and record the music that I have written since I have been stranded here on this 2 year stint. These songs are special and I LOVE the idea that they can come out BEFORE the album I've been working on for 5 years. You will hear where my head and heart have been through such trying yet amazingly beautiful times for myself and my family. It will be a body of work 100 percent written and recorded in my 2 years stranded in the Philippines. I think it would be super cool.
 
Many of you have been sooo generous already, and it's Christmas....so please, no pressure. I know I'm not the only one struggling. Much love everybody, if you read this far thank you :)
