Support Rohan......
Hey There!
Thank you so much for taking some time and looking into this...
My wife and I have started this campaign to try and provide some support to one of our good friends -- Rohan Humbre -- who has been stranded in India for the last couple of weeks due to COVID-19.
Some of you may already be aware of the Rohan's personal circumstances, but for those who arent:
-- Rohan had travelled to India to perform last rites at his father's funeral, who passed away as a result of COVID.
-- Due to the current travel restrictions in AU, he is unable to get a return flight.
All airlines that are still opertional, either don't have any seats available or offer some limited seats (typically 1-2 months in advance) & tend to cancel the booking a couple of days prior (due to daily cap restrictions for NSW).
More over, every time there is a cancellation, ticket is not refunded in the form of money, but by way of credit. So if any new flight is to be booked, it requires further out-of-pocket expenditure.
-- He's not managed to get a seat even on the repatriation flights announced by the govt, as the outcome of his application is still pending.
-- In addition to the uncertainity about his return, he essentially has no source of income until the time he gets back to Sydney (and joins work again).
I'm sure all of us reading this can appreciate the pressure that can build up over a person when faced with such a terrible siuation - where you are grieving a personal loss, have bills to pay but no source of income and no certain end-date.
Times like these can be extremely challenging and difficult to deal with but providing just a little bit of support can go a long way in making a huge difference......
The amount that we will be raising from this campaign will be donated to Rohan entirely (proof will be provided).
We hope that this will help him some relief with bills and some other expenses while he remains overseas on unpaid leave.... PLEASE HELP US IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN!!
Thank you once again!
