Help me fly home to say goodbye to my brother

Donation protected
Hallo, my name is Desray. I am putting out a plea to anyone who is willing and able to help.
♡~I am asking to help me fund my flights to go home next year to attend a memorial for my brother and scatter his ashes with my family~♡
I lost my brother last week, suddenly, less than a month after his birthday in November.

I said "goodbye see you again" to my brother in April 2022, when we moved from South Africa to Scotland, but, I never knew it was "goodbye forever".
My brother is being cremated, and even though I cant be there in person, I am able to pay for this atleast, which is £650.
I cant be there in person because my husband is starting a new job, and we are waiting for our switched visas... of which we also need to pay £18000.
So if I leave the country now, I wont be able to return to my husband and kids. (And id much rather have that money for cremation rather than flying there and not able to contribute any more.)
The reason my husband is starting a new job, is because his previous company, after employing him in February 2022, and flying us all here in July 2022, decided to make him refundant in September 2023...

The past year has been a tough one, I wont lie...but, I could handle the sadness of being so far, I could handle the struggling to settle and to try and fit in, I could handle the anger and disgust after hearing my husband was made redundant...
But, I can not bare the thought of not being home and scattering my brothers ashes, of not being able to hold my mom, a little longer and tighter this time, which could well be my last chance...

My mom is waiting for me, and when i have enough money to fly, I go, and we will say one last, forever goodbye to my brother, and i will be there, to hold her as she mourns her lost child, again.
