Save Bens stag do
Donation protected
Today my son Ben was supposed to be flying to Las Vegas with 9 friends and family for his stag do. They had all saved for over a year and for most of them it was a massive stretch to save for it. One friend was travelling from New Zealand at a cost of over £2k.
Last night we found out the that so called ‘friend’ who had organised the trip has stolen all the funds and not booked anything. 3 family members had already travelled to London and one was mid flight from New Zealand.
We are gutted. The wedding is only 4 weeks away and today instead of flying off for the long awaited holiday they will be travelling back home / sitting at home wondering how this could happen. Isn’t this something that only happens in crappy soap operas or Jeremy Kyle!
I know there are perhaps more worthy causes out there but I feel so bad for him that I needed to try to do something.
Ben spends a lot of his time coaching rugby on a voluntary basis. He puts back a lot into his community (he gets that from me I guess as a Brown Owl for Girlguiding for nearly 20 years).
I would love to be able to raise something that they group could put towards another trip, even if it’s not as far afield.
Thank you for your consideration.
