Friend in desperate need to attend funeral

Help a Loving Family Return to South Africa to Honor Her Beloved Grandmother. My dear friend Juanita's grandmother raised her from 11 months old and was her entire world—a mother, caregiver, and only family. Tragically, her grandmother passed away today, leaving her as the last surviving member of her family.Her only wish is to return to South Africa to give her grandmother a dignified farewell, arrange her belongings, and lay her to rest. Financial constraints prevented her from attending her grandfather’s and uncle’s funerals, which deeply affected her. She cannot bear missing this final goodbye to the woman who was her mother and everything.She hopes to take her husband and child for emotional support, as she cannot do this alone. Her child, born in South Africa, has never been back and never met his beloved great-grandmother. This journey would allow him to honor her memory and connect with his roots.Her grandmother’s insurance will cover the funeral costs, but they urgently need help with travel expenses. Funds will go solely toward flights, enabling them to say goodbye, grieve together, and honor her grandmother’s life with dignity.

Please open your hearts this Christmas to help this family return home and farewell their beloved family member. Your support, no matter how small, means the world. Thank you for making this meaningful journey possible.
