Banks wont be open until Tuesday.
OP's mom is going to fly Tuesday or Wednesday... Plus there would be approval time needed so it's too rushed/impossible.

too bad u need money in such a hurry, else we can set up a paypal and donate some money?

thinking the same thing..$10 from everyone here that has replied will already cover a good portion of this ticket

I'm just curious: Why does your dad not want you to charge it on your credit card?

I would suggest going to the bank for a loan / credit increase (if you maxed your CC this month).

I really don't recommend you sell your gold. Selling it in a rush is bound to get it undervalued. Especially if it's concerning famiily heirloom.

Please consider Redlines's proposal if your financiall straits are dire. It's really good, props to him.

EDIT: My bad. Banks are closed on Monday. You could still call Customer Support (# is listed on the back of Debit or CC), and see where that gets you.

If everyone who logs into RS daily gave a $1 the ticket would be covered, I'd be willing to give a bit to help.

I'll let her know about this. I'll call some airlines a bit later. It would mean so much if they can help my mom out BIG TIME.

Will talk to my mom later. I'll let you know. Thanks!


It's a private issue so it would be best if we keep it within our family. That was the first idea that entered his mind though.

Again, thanks so much everyone willing to help out a fellow RSer. Words cannot describe how touched and thankful I am for strangers to help my family out. The last time I've seen my mom so devastated was a few years ago when my other grandpa died. I'll find out later today if we can figure something out before Tuesday/Wednesday.

You could try taking it to Luk Fook jewellery in Aberdeen Centre

they buy gold in their HK stores they might do it here too

Wow. first time i ve seen revscene being so supportive like a community
shit just got real. i like.

Threads like this make to realize how real and connected the people around here is. You guys make me proud to be living here :)

Hey guys thanks for the overwhelming support. Fortunately my uncle offered to pay a portion for her ticket back home and it will be enough to cover a round trip flight. She also did not need to sell her jewelry which is a good thing.

I can't thank you guys enough and I cant come up with words to how appreciative I am for your willingness to help out a stranger and fellow Revscener. I'll let her know about this thread when I get home from work.

Bereavement Fares are a joke. You have a to purchase a full fare economy ticket to be eligible. And even after the discounts, it's still more expensive than purchasing thru a travel agent or online. This is for AC by the way.

RS is not just a website it's more of a community. I'm glad to hear everything worked out with your uncle helping her out. Times are tough sometimes and it's good to see people offer a helping hand.
