Help Philip Woo attend Frankie Beverly's Celebration Of Life

I have suddenly been summoned to the USA to attend Frankie Beverly's celebration of life. This will be a private ceremony with his family, loved ones, closest friends and present and former band members. The date will be December 6th, 2024. I'm humbly asking for your help in making this possible. I have traveled to the USA from Japan twice this year already, and between the considerable expenses and missed work, I am in a difficult situation. Frankie was a friend, generous and kind, even years after I left the band to live in Japan. I want to be there to properly express my gratitude, respect and condolences to the person who elevated my life,career, my music and my possibilities.
