Help Silke get to her mom's funeral

One moment, my kids and I are talking to my mom on video chat 6000 mile away, like we do every single day, and the very next moment she is gone. My heart is so heavy, I cannot breathe. She unexpectedly died of a pulmonary embolism at my parent's house in Germany. I am 6000 miles away in Texas and I am devastated. I am desperately trying to get money together so I can say my last goodbyes. I never ask for anything, I usually do for others, so this is so very hard for me to even start a go fund me. I am embarrassed to ask for money, but I am so very desperate. When we had both our vehicles break down on us earlier this year, it drained our savings. I checked on last minute flights to Germany and even with a bereavement fare, it just isn't possible. I'm a mess. What am I going to do? I am trying hard to stay strong for my kids, but it is so hard. I hate that they have to see me like this. My son shouldn't have to feel like he constantly needs to comfort me. I am the mother, I should comfort him in this difficult tome, since he lost his beloved Oma. He took my phone, took a picture of our family portrait and showed it to me...he said "Mama, look! This is your family, and we love you so very much. I am sorry you lost your mommy, but you know what? Now she finally made it to Texas, because she's everywhere you are looking down. " How can a 5 year old be that mature. I love my family so much, we are a very close nit family and my Mama was the glue that held it all together. She was a the nicest person and always did things for others. When my husband was stationed in Germany, she made a big Thanksgiving Dinner for him and his friends...Germans don't even celebrate Thanksgiving. She invited soldiers to Christmas dinner, just so they don't have to be alone. If you were hungry, you bet she'd feed you , even if that meant she would go without. She was a very selfless person and she loved all us kids and grand kids so very much. I called my mom every single day on video chat and I cannot wrap my head around, that I won't be able to do that anymore. I am so hurt. I need to go home. I need to say goodbye. I need closure so I can heal. I need to be there for my siblings. I need to be there for my dad. My parents have been married for nearly 46 years and I need to be there for my dad. I am asking you, if at all possible...please help me get to Germany. If you have a few bucks to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Every penny counts. If you can't spare any change, I understand. It's OK. Maybe you can take a second and share this campaign, in the hopes that it will reach someone, who can help me.
