I Need to Raise Funds for My Trip Home to Canada Travelling From My Home New Zealand to Care For My Mum in Canada and Spend Time With Her.

Northland

My Mum lives in London Ontario Canada. I live in New Zealand. My Mum has become ill and she is constantly in and out of the doctor and hospital. My brother and sister are always going to her and helping her when she is ill. Lately we have thought Mum was dying as she is blacking out and having to go to hospital.

I want to come home and care for my Mum but I do not have the funds to do this. Living far away from your parent is hard when you do not have the money to take a trip. I have a part time job and my husband does not make enough money for me to save for a trip to go. Between the two of us earning what we can we cannot afford for me to travel back to Canada. Due to the lack of funds I would like to ask for donations for the trip. I have borrowed the money for my ticket, accommodation, and spending money for a trip to Canada to spend time taking care of her. It will be the only time I have seen my family my since my last trip home in 2002 which my Dad kindly paid for. I would like to pay back the loan faster please with donations.

Use of funds

The money will be spent on paying back my loan for an airline ticket, accommodation, and spending money. If I hit my target I will donate the surplus to my Mum who is having a hard time financially on the pension. Extra funds to another GiveaLittle cause.
