Long Story short. My friend has cancer. The doctors said she has less than a year to live. She's 17. She's one of the nicest, smartest people I know. She graduated high school at 16, she has two brothers, donates her hair to cancer patients, and teaches kids guitar, piano, and cello lessons. Recently, in the last couple months, she's got the worse life in the world. Her kitten, an adorable rare, expensive breed, was killed by their neighbor's dog. Her grandmother just died a few weeks ago. Her aunt committed suicide not too long ago. Her uncle was arrested for molesting children. To name just a few horrible things. Her father died last night from a heart attack. I was just a couple days away from seeing her, driving about 5 hours to see her. Instead, she's moving back to Amsterdam (where she was born) with her mom, and she plans to live there until she dies...
I have no money. I can't afford to fly to see her. I love her, and I just want to make her happy. What can I do...?

It is very said to hear about your friend. Life can be very cruel at times. It's obvious you want to give her your love and support in her time of need, but it makes this difficult for you to do in the physical sense. If you can not be with her physically try to offer support in other ways. Phone calls, emails, web cams; they all can help keep you connected until her time comes. Since you don't have the money to fly over there what you could do is deliver an overnight package for a postal company. Many times packages need to be delivered asap, but there wasn't room for them on the shipping planes, so what the people do is they pay for part of your ticket and you deliver the package. If you can scrounge up the money to make up the difference, then getting over there is feasable. I had a friend who did this when she went back packing in europe a couple of summers ago. I'm not sure the in and outs of how it works, but look it up and see if you can pull it off. That way you can be with her in person, like you want to.

Tell her how you feel and listen to what she says.

Geez what a bad life. Give her a lot of support.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
I am sorry about you and your friend, and what I would do is try to email her and talk to her as much as you possibly can
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
Call her nonstop. Tell her you love her a lot, and she means the world to you. Don't let her forget that.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
just because your not there in the physical sense, doesnt mean you cant be with her. send her a card, send her an email, call her every single day. let her know that you care and that you think about her daily. and most of all, pray for her..and let her know that your praying for her. dont feel guilty because you cant hold her hand, just let her know that you hold her in your heart no matter where she goes.

You lovingly wrap all of what you just said into a nice pretty box and gently lay it in her lap. How beautiful she sounds and how wonderful you seem! If it's friendship or if it's love...make sure nothing goes unsaid! She needs to do what makes her happy and you need to do the same. Whatever it takes, love will find a way! God Bless You Both in all you do and wherever you go!

It is unbelievable what some people are forced to endure in this life. I am sorry for you and your friend. Unfortunately, I do not have any great advice. If anything, I would say write her a lot and maybe you could buy a web camera so you can see each other that way.
You could contact different airlines and ask if they would allow you to travel on a reduced fair under these circumstances. All they can say is no and it never hurts to ask.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
Write to her. Talk to her on the phone. Even make a movie with you and any places or friends you hung around together. Send it to her. Maybe even save your money and go for a short visit in Amsterdam (Holland?).
Before she goes, let her know that you will never forget her, that you will always love her and that you will miss her. And that you know one day you will both see one another again in the afterlife. Tell her you wish you could go with her and that your heart will ache for a long, long time.
Such tragedy she has suffered for herself and her family, and so young.
Bless you both.

Wow, that's a lot to go through at a young age. My husband died 4 months ago, he had cancer. The best thing I got from people is love, whether through a card, phone call, or visit. Email her often and call when you can. Just let her know that the miles are not far for two people who are close. Good luck and God bless both of you.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
just remember her as one of your closest pal.......takecare
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
there is not too much you can do if she is going to amsterdam. just be supportive of her and don't make her feel guilty for leaving. just let her know you will always be there for her. maybe she just feels happier in amsterdam, and that is where she would like to live out her time left on earth. don't be sad for her, just be her friend. i'm sure she already gets enough pity, you need to help keep her spirits up, and from the way it sounds, you really care for her and really just want her to be happy. you are a very strong person for your age. she is lucky to have you as part of her life. good luck with everything, and keep your head up. things always work out in the end.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
TELL HER THIS in any way you can afford. Phone, email, text message, what ever. JUST TELL HER and remember, leaving this damaged body will be like getting out of one stalled car and getting into another one that's just rolled off the assembly line. You WILL see her again in time. This much I know for sure. Don't worry about this. Tell her that when the good Lord sends out the life boat, jump in and don't look back. You will see your friend again....

Take all the pictures you have of her %26amp; you both together and separetly and use them to make a story book for her %26amp; yourself. It might be a good idea if the two of you work on the project together. This way you will have memories of her %26amp; when she does die her family will have the same memories.

there are so so many ways to keep in touch these days. don't let her slip from your life before she has to. distance is but an obstacle keep in touch as long as you can. let her know how much she means to you and by all means if she needs to talk let her no matter where either of you are. A huge phone bill is worth the price to be there for a friend. above all else make her laugh when you can you will never regret those moments once she is gone. My heart goes out to the both of you. She is lucky to have the friend in you she has.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
omg, that is so sad! sometimes, the best people in the world get the toughest life. maybe she's going for a reason, you know? if i were you, please don't laugh- i'm serious, i'd write a letter to oprah or local news stations. they'd start something to donate flyer miles and money to you once they heard this story. this way, you'd have enough money and support to see her AND give her the chance to do whatever she wants before she leaves. i wish i could help more, but i'm only 13. i can't imagine what you're feeling, but try to think of it this way- when she leaves, she's going on a trip to somewhere safe and loving. it's only a matter of time before you join her-. good luck and my heart goes out to you. please take my advice.

you could always make her something special like a letter where you can explain your thoughts and feelings. And explain to her that you would really like to see her but that you don't have very much money to do so. but that you will try your best to be there as soon as possible. or could make a phone call or ask one of your family members or friends to help you borrow some money that you will later pay them back but also explaining your situation to them of why you need that money. well hope this helps wish you the best of luck for you and your friend. hope this helps a little at least.

You sound lovely. Thank god there is internet. Love her in mind and keep in touch. She can actually be better taken care of with the mom... If there is real love-I mean real love, the fairy tale would be to see if her mother would allow you to live or marry her and stay with them till her death-or at least let her know you would do that. If no money, life is difficult and the best thing is to keep smart loving conversation. Not giving her fasle hope but be there for her and make the rest of her time pleasant because she may suffer pain....Just keep the memories good and use them in the future and respect life....
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?

My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
omg i feel so sad 4 both of you. be strong. i know it isnt the same as the personal touch to be able to hug her and say good bye but id suggest writing a letter telling her how you feel that way when shes down she can read and re read. and keep in touch by phone. sometimes life sux and its always harder when we cant fix it so i think she would be happy if she knew you were going to be ok.if you need to chat im me any time. i may not be able to help but im a good listener. all the best to u

There's a phone and international prepaid phonecards to stay connected or you can try cashcall.com to borrow money. Or you can tell your folks and other family members and close friends to sponsor to go and see her. She's dying, and they'll understand that and hopefully you'll be able to raise the neccessary funds for your travel.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
I am so so very sorry about your friend but having you as a friend is the best medicine in the world. Have you tried emailing her or maybe even writing to her? Maybe you can do a once a month visit and if the mom's understanding maybe you can stay at there home for a few days, saving on motel bills. Hope things go well.
My friend is dying and there are almost no more options for me.?
i am very sorry about your friend. things happen that are unexpecting. all you can do is let her know that you will always be with her. call her when ever you can, e-mail her, do what ever you can to let her know that you are there for her. i know that it is really hard. its always hard to know that she may not be there with you for the rest of your life. but she will never leave you. i know that her time is coming to an end but she will never leave you. she will always be there. i know that it is hard to belive but i know from my personal experience. my father died when i was young and i thought that he was gone and that he never could be there to see me grow up and that i will always be missing something. but i found that he is still with me, and always will. she will always be there holding your hand, and watching you grow and see what you become. she will always be there.
i hope that this helps you.
i hope that you get to see her and spend time with her
i wish you well
