Help Nick travel to UK family bereavement

Donation protected
Mum was admitted to hospital in the UK with a cough, 3 weeks later she died on the 15th April. She was 77 years old. She had cancer but although still sick was responding well to treatment. It’s been a very hard few weeks. I am her only son and live in Australia. I need to go to her funeral but I don’t think I will manage that. However she leaves a husband, my dear step father Buz, who is 84. He is struggling with the enormity of the tasks in front of him after his partner of 40 years , who looked after him well has passed.

I am a divorced father of 3 beautiful boys 22,17 and 15. I run two businesses and struggle sometimes financially, but between us we have a good life. Mum/Granny was a huge part of all our lives and she loved her Grandchildren so much. I simply cant raise the funds I need to travel, quarantine for 10 days, travel back, quarantine for 14 days - and have the funds to continue to pay rent and bills at my home while I’m away. I want to be there with my family to help them deal with the aftermath of the funeral and sort through Mums belongings  with a view to shipping them to Australia.

Mainly I want to provide support for Buz and help him get back up and running. He is struggling with understanding what he is here for/what to do now.  This money will go towards rent, food and bills In Australia and travel expenses to go to the UK and return to Australia. Keeping my family safe in the meantime. We are all very close. Thank you for your kindness.
