Hoping to see our Grandpa

Hello,

              My name is Irakli and on Wednesday March 21st, we heard the terrible news that our grandfather Sarkis, in Tbilisi Georgia, had a stroke and lapsed into a coma. The news was hard to hear for myself, my sister Ryah, and mother, Karina. It's unlikely he will be with us for much longer. The cost of travel has already hindered us from seeing him as often as we should have.  We've been caught off guard and will not be able to all go and see what are likely his final days and support my grandma during that time. 

           The cost of a round trip plane ticket to Tbilisi, Georgia is on average $1,600. For all three of us to go, it would cost $4,800. The cost of missing work, additional travel expenses, and funeral expenses will bring us the rest of the way up to $8,000. We hope to see him during our school spring break and will need to buy tickets on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. 

         We hope to see our grandfather and grandmother and for that we are asking for your help. 

Thank you
