Default To make up to my family

Contexte : la famille d'une jeune fille a été tuée par des bandits.

Quote:
21
I wanted to make up to my family...
Je voulais représenter ma famille

22
...for being the only one left alive...
car j'étais la seule survivante.

23
...so I worked hard in the US.
Donc j'ai travaillé dur aux USA.
J'ai des doutes ici sur la traduction. Est-ce que "to make up my family" n'a pas plutôt le sens de "fondé une famille" ?

Merci !

" to make up to" a le sens de faire la cour à qq'un ou faire des avances
je dirais tout simplement
I wanted to represent my family

En fait c'est la traduction de l'anglais qui me faut. C'est-à-dire qu'il faut traduire "I wanted to make up to my family..." et non "Je voulais représenter ma famille".

Est-ce que par extension ça pourrait alors avoir le sens de "rendre hommage" ? "Je voulais rendre hommage à ma famille" ? Merci encore !
