Flight home to Romania to see her mom that is sick

My friend and coworker Lily's mother is very sick. It is a saddening time and she needs to fly home to Romania to see her family and be there for her mother. But she is a full time working mother with her one year old son here in Washington, she cannot afford the costly airplane ticket.  She is such a hard working woman and anything will help at a moment like this. The plane ticket is about $1500 and it is very important for her to get there as fast as possible.
