Please help my family and I attend my Dad's funeral

I was raised by a single mum.My mum worked for the Whitcombe family when i was about 4 years old.She was their nanny,housekeeper, cook and friend. When uncle John (that's what I called him)and Aunty Jocelyn heard that my mum had a child they told her they will raise me as one of their children. So I grew up alongside Halley,Margaret,Natasha and Mekayla..we consider each other siblings.I lived with the Whitcombes until I got married at 26 years old,

It is with a heavy heart that I got a call last night from my dear sister Natasha informing me that Dad had passed away while doing some yard work on his land.My children and I were overcome with so much sadness and grief as we live here in NZ while Papa John lives in Fiji.He has been like a real grandfather to my children so he has been the only grandpa they have known.Their grand dad passed away even before they were born.So they only knew Papa John and got to spend some time with him.

Our heart-felt plea is we would love to attend my Dad's funeral in Fiji.Any little donation to help us with our airfare will be greatly appreciated. It will cost around $8000NZD for our airfare ,accommodation and food.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read my post and for any financial donation whether big or small.

May God bless you all.
