I got this message and have been pulling out my hair, crying, and generally freaking out. I am reaching out in hopes that my community will help me go see my mother before she passes. I haven't seen her since I was and I need to go see her before she passes. Quite honestly if I was younger I would just hitch-hike. My hands are shaking just trying to type I'm so full of anxiety. I figure I will go down for a month, maybe longer - I don't know. The round-trip ticket is only around $400 and I figure the rest will be for expenses. Thank you ahead of time - anything would help. If I don't raise enough for a plane ticket, I'll take the Greyhound. If she passes before I go, I will refund whomever has donated. Thank you.
