Tomo was devastated to hear on Sunday morning that she had lost the father she loved so dearly. As Tomo and her mother grapple with this unforeseen tragedy it is so important that they are able to be together to mourn the loss of this great man and pay tribute to his life in Japan.

We want to give Tomo's father the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and to give Tomo the chance to say a last goodbye in Japan.  I am currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of travel for Tomo to get back to Japan as well as cover the cost of a proper funeral service.  We need to raise $10,000 in order to be able to afford the funeral service.
