My Travel Story

Hello my name is Ryan,
I am trying to help set this travel fundraiser for my friend who was a victim of a major company lay off due to cost cutting efforts. This was totally unexpected because she was an employee of the company for over 10 years and was a rockstar performer. She had booked this trip to Taiwan from the Philippines to celebrate her birthday and has been looking forward to this trip since she has always wanted to visit and this would have been her first time. The trip is planned for next week, Thurs Sep 14. However, just the other day, the company (a European company based in the Philippines) had an unnanounced mass layoff with very minimal hardship/transition compensation to follow at a later date. Although she plans to cancel the trip, she is very disappointed and saddened by this whole unexpected situation. She had already paid for airfare which is unreimburseable and it would cost more to rebook at a later date. I would like to see if we can help repay her for her airfare as well to make this a 100% cost free trip for her. I want to help her continue on with this trip to celebrate her birthday and Taiwan bucket list especially because I feel this is the well deserved vacation she needed and to help get her mind off of losing her job that she actually enjoyed. Thank you for any help that you can provide and God bless you all! - Ryan
