Help Giancarlo Get Home
Donation protected
Giancarlo has been stuck in Peru since April 21st. He was travelling with us prior to the worldwide response to the COVID-19 epidemic and closure of the Peruvian border.
His original flight home was with Delta Airlines, and they did not respond to his calls after the Peruvian border closed. He bought an American Airlines ticket to return for $150 dollars, but the flight keeps getting pushed back as long as the international borders are closed. He was hoping for the International flights to open in August, but on July 31st, the government said that the borders are now closed indefinitely with a possibility of remaining like that until 2021.
Giancarlo is an architect and is stuck working remotely from Peru. He does not have access to his work computer and is about to lose access to vital software. Little by little, he has had to drain his savings which are now at zero. He can't afford the flight back home, which is now only available for an extremely high cost. He needs to get back home to Tampa so he can return to work.
He also needs to fly back home to support his mother who has lost her job and is applying for unemployment. He is concerned about her health as she is 65+ years old, alone in his house, and doesn't speak English or drive a car. He has lived in the US since he was 15. His entire life is basically in the US. While Giancarlo is a bit ashamed to use crowdfunding, it is one of his last resources other than filing for bankruptcy.
These are the expenses for which we are raising money:
Repatration flight = $ 1,260 + $15 (transportation to military base)
American Airlines flight = $150 (A flight that will be obsolete)
Gas money & transportations = $75
----------------------------------
Total = $1,500
Thank you all for considering this situation! Please donate today so we can get Giancarlo back home!
