UPDATE: My father passed just after 1am this morning 6/27/26. I am still trying to get home to be there for my family. Thank you to all who have donated so far and helping me get close to my goal.

Hello, my name is Melanie. I'm trying to go back home to RI, as I currently live in Fayettevill, NC. My dad is going to pass in a day or two and I need to get there as soon as possible. I am trying to raise enough money for transportation purposes. Thank you to whomever helps.
