Brighton Woman Raising Money to Attend Brother's Funeral
Michelle Millikan of Brighton is hoping to be able to buy a plane ticket to attend her brother's funeral in Boston.
An online campaign to help Michelle Millikan of Brighton buy a plane ticket so she is able to attend her brother's funeral in Boston has already raised $750.
Millikan created the fundraiser on GoFundMe.com on Dec. 9 and the campaign hopes to raise $1,000. The page reads:
"I just lost my brother TJ this past weekend to pancreatic cancer, he was only 42.
I am so afraid I won't get to the funeral in Boston this Thursday because I was recently laid off from my job and I have a very large family and do not have the extra money to get a flight.
With the holiday's and bills and losing my job recently I am a wreck.
If anyone can help out with any amount to get me closer to a plane ticket I would appreciate it more than you could possibly know.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
