Help My Husband Say Goodbye To His Father

It is important to get a chance to say goodbye to your loved ones.



Hi, my name is Camilla and my father-in-law is very ill. My husband F has not seen his father in person in 7 years. We live in Scandinavia and his family lives in southern Africa.

Just last night (28/9) we got a call that he is getting worse and that they were queuing all night at the hospital without getting any help because the public doctors are on strike.


But tickets are not that expensive you might say, why doesnt you husband just go see him?


Its not just the flight ticket you see. A trip back home comes with many expectations and demands. Besides the flight ticket he needs to pay for transportation, supplying food for many family members who are living in a country where inflation can  unexpectedly cause prices for necessities to sky rocket while incomelevels remain way below whats reasonable.

A trip back home includes bringing ease to your loved ones by covering all expenses for necessities plus all examinations, medication and treatments at the hospital. 


That is what the money is needed for. To meet the all requirements of the situation.


But what is the core of the situation? For my husband to relieve the suffering of his dying parent. And to provide for his family members who now turn to him for support and guidance.



This summer 2019 my own sister passed away. Two years ago in 2017 my mother passed away. I had the opportunity and the privilige to be with them during their last weeks and days. It was a blessing that l am deeply greatful for.


I want my husband to get the same opportunity to be with his father during this difficult time and to be there for his family that he has not seen in in person in 7 years. 


That is why l am initiating this campaign.


The reality is: We live in an unjust world. Material resources and financial opportunities are not equally accessible to all people at the same time.

The actions of curropt politicians and the inequality caused by greed and violent colonialism plays a big part in the difficulty of the situation that affects generation after generation.

The price is high and it is paid by the people. Is it juste to assume that one individual should solve a big family crisis under these circumstances on their own? No, we need to help each other out.


My husband quit everything when my mother and sister were dying. He stood by me and took care of our youngest child and he offered all the support l needed. I want to do the same for him.


There is an opportunity for healing and reconciliation in these irreversible moments if we seize them. If we get the opportunity to seize them. My husband knows exactly what to do and l want to help him, but l need your support in making it happen. 


There is only now because there is not that much time left. 


Here is the challenge: The costs that need to be covered are:

- Medical costs 2000$

- Food supplies (30 people) 1200$

- Installing solar panels to reduce electricity costs 700$

- A car for transportation 600$

- Fuel 500$


Total 5.000$



Here is the thing. I love my husband and he loves his family. They should be together during this difficult time.


If we are not here to make life less difficult for one another, then what are we here for?


If you feel called to donate, thank you!

If you cant donate for whatever reason, could you please share the campaign and help us make this happen? 



Thank you very much!

Thank you for your participation!


My warmest regards,
