I never imagined I would be writing something like this.

My beloved grandmother has recently passed away in Romania, my home country. She was a kind, loving, and deeply important part of my life—someone who helped raise me, supported me, and shaped the person I am today. Being so far away from her now, in the UK, makes this loss even more painful.

I am trying to travel back home to say goodbye properly and to be there for her funeral, but the cost of last-minute plane tickets is incredibly high. On top of that, I want to help cover the expenses for her burial, so she can be laid to rest with the dignity and care she deserves.

This is not easy for me to ask, but I truly need help. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean so much—not only in helping me get home, but also in giving my grandmother the farewell she deserves.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also help more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can give during this incredibly difficult time.
