There is a woman who is stuck trying to get back to Florida on Greyhound and we need help, can anyone help?

Question

We met a woman who had called our church, her sister put her out and she is now alone on the streets of Seattle. We have paid to put her up in a hotel and now she is needing to go back to Florida where she can stay with family, but both my parents are retired and I'm a f/t student and single mother and we just don't have the money to help. Her ticket is about 280, it think. We couldn't drop her off at a woman's shelter because it's Christmas, it's scary, and it's overcrowded so she's stayed the night in our home. She's been through a lot and we just didn't feel right about leaving her there. Just looking to see if anyone can help donate towards a bus ticket from Seattle to Florida. Thank you so much for any consideration. We will donate what we can, just can't do the whole amount. My parents are retired and my dad has cancer, he's sick and is getting ready to go in for another treatment after Christmas. Thank you.
