Help Get Me To My Grandmother
Donation protected
From cataract, to a stroke, to shattering a limb, and months of extensive treatments; it seems my grandmother, the Matriarch of my family and her village, is getting ready to pass. Most of you know I am of Nigerian descent, and as much as I've tried, keeping in contact with my grandmother and being there for her has been hard because of languge barriers, time differences, and lack of travel funds.
I'm asking for help paying for air fare to Nigeria and transportation while I am there. As a first generation immigrant, there seems to always be some sort of disconnect between those of us living in America and those back home. With this money I'll be able to cover the flight to/from Nigeria and spend time with my grandmother & the rest of my family. It's been so long since I've been back home that I honestly don't remember what our town looks like anymore.
This trip was so sudden and with the spontaneous inflation and deflation of ticket prices overseas, it's difficult to guage how much I'll need exactly but I know this will definitely help. Thank you!
