Hi Panudda,
Also I googled how much the trip costs - it will be about $2100. That’s for airfare and 3 nights stay in hotel. I will fly one day, check in that night, stay the next two days and nights (for the funeral) and leave the last day. I can extend it by one more day to take care of legal stuff but it will increase the cost of the trip.
When you ask the relatives what to do, can you please ask if I can also have $475 to help find a job? My other job is only providing $250 stipend for resume writing service but they cost way more. I want to use it to help me find a job very quickly. When I was looking for a job before, that’s the feedback I received, my resume was too long for some because I’ve been working so long (18 yrs), too many details. So I’m hoping that with a better resume, I can find a better, more stable job much quicker.
Let me know what they say. I have some savings saved up but it’s to keep roof, electricity and food for a few months til I find a new job. I had to took a pay cut to get my old job and I paid back your brother. It’s definitely not enough to pay to see Grandma’s funeral on my own or help with the job hunt search.
I feel really ashamed to ask for help but you know I wouldn’t if I had a choice.
Love,
Maryann
