Help René say goodbye

René woke up this morning to find her partner Patti of 5 years had suddenly passed away. Patti is originally from New York and that is where most of her family is. Her family has chosen to have her funeral and burial in NY. This go fund me is to assist René with travel expenses to get to NY to be able to say her final good-byes. She will need to take time away from work as well. This will also allow René to take care of things at the home she shared with Patti. René is such a good and giving person. Please consider helping, under the circumstances she would otherwise not be able to attend the funeral . 

Specifically the money will help cover , plane tickets, rental car, hotel accommodations, time away from work, money to sustain René while traveling, and money to help cover bills at their house .
