Get Mackenzie and Family Home
Donation protected
We are trying to get Mackenze, Brandon and there baby girl Eden home from there dream vacation to Bali. They saved up for a few years to do this trip and went on a very tight budget. At this point they are missing out on wages from home as well. Now they are stranded in Bali trying to get home. Lets help them get home asap !
Mackenzie works at Fun Bugs and we are raising money for her to get her family home safe.
Brandon Olson and Mackenzie Pešl are hoping to return home to Kelowna with baby Eden, but Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport remains shut down due to ash clouds from a nearby volcano.
Hundreds of Canadians like Olson, Pešl and their baby are stranded on the Indonesian island. Global Affairs Canada said 403 Canadians in Bali have registered with its Registration of Canadians Abroad service.
Olson and Pešl were at the airport ready to leave on a Philippines Airlines flight Saturday at 1 a.m., but it was canceled and a kiosk was abandoned by staff, they said.
“Seven representatives of our airline got up and walked away,” Olson said on a facebook video he and Pešl posted to help communicate with their family back in the Okanagan.
Olson said they found a different flight out of Bali, but Philippines Airlines told the couple they would have to pay for it themselves.
Global News requested answers on Olson and Pesl’s experience but did not hear back from Philippines Airlines at publication time and the company’s website makes no reference to delays or cancellations in Bali.
An unnamed airline employee sought out the frustrated couple and offered them money from his own pocket to put them up for the night, a gesture they emotionally declined.
