My friend died, and I can’t afford to fly to his memorial service
A few days ago, I got a call from a friend from my time living in Colorado. I hadn’t heard her voice in 2 years. Normally she’s the brightest thing in the room, but that day, she was choking back tears. She told me that one of my best friends had killed himself. These last few days have been rough for me. Today I got word that his memorial service is going to be held on the 26th of August, and I don’t have enough to pay for a plane ticket. The cheapest one I found for a round trip from here to there, is around $260. I’ve picked up as many hours at work as I can, but I only get paid biweekly. With rent and food and the works, I have very little disposable income. I couldn’t forgive myself if I missed the service. If anyone was willing or able to donate just a little bit I couldn’t thank you enough. Even a dollar would be greatly appreciated.
