One of our dear mods has just experienced a heavy loss. They are needing to get a passport and tickets in order to attend the funeral.
Every share helps. ❤️
My Uncle will be laid to rest in the place he called home in France.
If you can donate anything to help me get there, I would be beyond grateful.
