Get Fiona to her family reunion... despite being scammed out of her savings.
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
Fiona was scammed out of her $1000 plus savings! Fiona, helped by her Idea Services support worker, had saved enough to get to a family reunion in Christchurch and visit her Mum in Invercargill. Then she was scammed! This came to light when Fiona and I went to book her tickets early in October. Fiona's Mum is in a rest home in Invercargill and Fiona visited her last December (I organised this). Fiona saved money to cover flights and stayed with a lovely lady who took good care of her including emotional support, accommodation, transport, and food. Her aunties in Christchurch have invited Fiona to a family reunion in Christchurch on 28 Jan 2023 so the plan is to combine this with a trip to visit her Mum in Invercargill. Because flight prices keep going up Fiona will need about $1500 for flights and accommodation.
My family has known Fiona for many years through our church and, among other things, she has joined us for Christmas Day for some years.
Money will be for return flights from Palmerston North to Christchurch, and from Christchurch to Invercargill. Money will also cover supportive accommodation, transport and food while Fiona is away.
Fiona's tickets are paid for! Accommodation still needs to be paid for. 10 November 2022
Thanks to all you generous friends: Fiona has her return tickets booked! We still need a little more money to cover her supportive accommodation costs in Christchurch and Invercargill. Please share this page in appropriate ways/places eg your facebook page.
