If you have a job, why not simply get a loan from your bank? | 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.

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.

They do help out those in need to fly back to their home country for emergency's like these.
They have flights from Vancouver to Philippines, via Hong Kong for a short transit. | Quote:

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.

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.

I know some airlines used to do it. | 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. Posted via RS Mobile | |
