I WISH to go to my college pastor's funeral.

I went to school at Southwest Missouri State University for five years. During that time I attended a wonderful campus ministry under the the leadership of a man named Joe Zickafoose. Joe was a great pastor, teacher, and friend. I served in leadership under him, went on a missions trip to Scotland with him, played a few pranks on him (and got some right back) and during those formative years my relationship with God was inifinitely influenced by his wise and practical teachings.
After many years at SMSU, Joe moved with his wife and 2 boys to Scotland to pioneer a campus ministry at the University of Aberdeen. Several months ago, he was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and had to come back to the States with his family for treatment. A few days ago, while undergoing these treatments, he caught pneumonia. His immune system weakened, he died 2 days ago at the age of 50.
Joe's funeral is this Tuesday in Springfield, MO. I would love to go and celebrate his life with my college friends and hundreds of the people that he influenced, but I am a struggling actress in LA. I don't have the money for a plane ticket. If you could do anything to help, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
