My Travel Story

Hi everyone,

I’m writing this with a heavy heart. My grandfather has passed away, and I need to travel back to Ghana to say a final goodbye and support my family during this difficult time.

We haven’t been able to visit our home country in years—not out of choice, but because the financial burden has always been too great. We’ve missed so many important moments, always hoping that "next year" would be different. Now, with my grandfather’s passing, I feel an urgent need to go home—not for a vacation, but to honor him and be with those I love.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to cover the travel and funeral-related costs. That’s why I’m asking for help. I’m hoping to raise 30,000 NOK to afford the flight and basic expenses. Every single contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to Ghana, to closure, and to family.

If you’ve ever experienced the pain of losing someone from afar, you know how deeply this matters. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for any support you can give.

With love and gratitude,
Rachel Arthur
