Overseas And Stranded by Covid Lockdowns
Donation protected
March 7th, Trevor Powell traveled to the Philippines to marry his fiance', Charlene. Little did he know the real adventure he was embarking on, as Covid19 pandemic sparked lock-downs worldwide. He faced a series of quarantines immediately upon arrival; the city then locked down, and no flights returning to Manila have been scheduled since. He was finally able to get married by a justice of the peace. He and his bride have been working online to make ends meet for themselves and her family; Trevor cannot work because he is on a travel visa.
The Philippine government, though they have kept everything locked down, is charging hundreds of dollars for overstaying his visa every two months, draining his resources. The travel agent he booked his trip through is out of business because of the pandemic, the airline he flew from the USA is no longer flying to the Philippines, and no one will refund his money. The State Department has been absolutely no help at all, and even if he could reach the sweeper flights, which he could not, the cost was twice what he paid for his original flight. Calls to our senator have been useless, as well. And he has lost his job here when he does return.
Since Trevor cannot get home, I am requesting your assistance in blessing him for Christmas with messages of encouragement, as well as monetary blessing. Help shower him with comfort through your donation during this critical and stressful time; he needs our support and assistance. He is unaware of this pleading on his behalf, so I thank you for reaching out to him, a weary traveler in a very distant land.
