Help me get to Guam to lay my mother to rest

Donation protected

For all who know my mother Joann, you know that she’s an amazing soul! She’s funny, always is the life of the party, she can lift up your spirits wether angry or sad, she’s always ready to lend a helping hand down to her last dollar or to simply be an advocate to anyone in need. She’s always been my rock, my best friend and the best mother I could’ve ever asked for! She’s taught me the value of life, respect, compassion, how to be an amazing cook and well  just about everything I need to know to be an amazing person as she is! Needless to say, I am a Mamas boy! Well my mama has been battling brain cancer for the past year and a half just shortly after giving birth to my baby sister Mikayla. She’s been trying since I was born and has suffered several miscarriages until 26 years later when she blessed us with my baby sister! Although my mom being the strong woman she is, cancer took over and has taken my mother! She is currently on life support for now. I had requested that she remain on life support till I can make it to Guam from New York so that I may have the opportunity to pay my last respects! I don’t know how long they can keep her on life support because her organs are all failing fast but I really need to be by her side one last time before she leaves for her journey to a better pain free place! My heart is so heavy in this time of sorrow and yet I still attend work so as to be a strong man that I know she needs! Though I hate even asking, any help would be enormously appreciated!
