Vancouver, British Columbia to Whitehorse, Yukon – $407.88 CAD
Geraldine, a senior living in Whitehorse, Yukon, received devastating news. Her beloved nephew was hospitalized in Vancouver, critically ill. He was more than just a nephew. He was a source of joy and connection in her life. With his health failing, Geraldine’s heart ached to be by his side, to offer comfort and say goodbye.
But a trip from Whitehorse to Vancouver is costly, and Geraldine, relying solely on her pension, couldn’t afford the airfare. The weight of her nephew’s condition, coupled with the financial burden felt overwhelming.
Fortunately, a social worker at the Vancouver hospital contacted Give A Mile, recognizing Geraldine’s predicament.
