It would cost 500$ to get to her, and I barely have money for Ramen, and nothing I own would equal up to enough if I pawned it. I have no idea what to do, I feel like screaming.

Sorry. :-(
That sucks. Is there nobody who could help you?

General area where you live & where does she live?

Set up a donations/ebeg page. It's worth a shot. I'll even mayhaps throw in a couple dollars.

I found out I can't go anyways. I would have to be medically cleared, and with my injuries they said they can't. God this is depressing.

@previous (derpy !hoovesEJmo)Sorry about that. Just today because I am looking as a Tahoe Ski trip for next week, it dawned on my about how bad I felt when I was working in Australia and a friend lost his head (literally) on a ski trip.
Later when I was back in the states I took a trip to that tree and put a small marker on it, to help with my closure.

I just looked up the date and it sure was a long time ago January 5, 1998. In Dubbo Australia at Midnight Mass in a Catholic Church it was over 108 degrees in Church at MIDNIGHT. Christmas in Australia is a very different kind of Christmas.
So derpy how about writing a poem for your Grandmother. You can conduct your own service by going to a nice park or some part of nature where you live. Plant the seed of apples or pear in her honor. Light a candle.
My Grandmother and I spent a lot of time with her when growing up. Usually weekends or when I had a week or two off from school. Miss her a lot, and she died around age 89-91 a looong time ago.

if she can talk, then maybe you can ask someone who can visit to take a laptop along and you can use skype to talk with her.
