Campaign Story
We are a small family of three from South Africa, currently living in Thailand. Myself, Dewald, my wife Samantha and my 11 year old son, Ryan. Samantha and Ryan left Thailand on the 6th of March to visit family back in South Africa. What was supposed to be a two week holiday, turned into a four month separation because of this COVID thing. We have been doing all we can to get them home and now that Thailand is finally starting to allow people back in, we have a problem.
Flights allowed in will only be repatriation flights with a private company so they cannot use their credit from the airline, as commercial flights are not allowed. Also, before they can even board a plane, they are forced to pay for a state assigned quarantine facility, at around 1500USD each, for when they arrive. I have been working non-stop to keep the home fires burning, but we cannot afford this. I would hate to know that they are allowed to return to me, but couldn't because of money.
"Begging" like this is something I would never have considered in the past, but it's my family and I will do whatever it takes. Please help us get back together!
