My best friend is in the ICU, please help me visit them.

My name is Sabrina, and Zau is my best friend. They're a brilliant artist (the cover photo is one of my favorite pieces of theirs), incredibly intelligent, and the kindest soul I've ever met. I owe my life to them. I would not be alive without their support.

Earlier today, Zau was rushed to the hospital after losing consciousness, and is currently in the ICU with a suspected blood clot in their lungs. Their blood oxygen levels have been consistently below 90%, they are struggling to breathe, confused, and they are not responding to treatment at this current moment. There is an ongoing concern that there may have been more clots, and their current condition is unstable and uncertain.

Due to the severity of the situation, I want to be by their side, but this is unfortunately currently impossible by myself. I live in the US, and they live in the UK. I am disabled, unable to work, very physically ill, and do not have a supportive family to fall back on. Making enough money on my own to travel is out of the question.

After researching flight, necessities and transportation costs, 1500$ - 2000$ seems like the safest amount for me to make this trip.

To be physically by their side during this incredibly uncertain time, would mean the world to us both. They have been in my life for over a decade, and I have never been able to hold their hand, much less see them. Any amount helps me beyond words, and I would be infinitely grateful for the support.

Thank you so much for reading this.
