then there's no penalty for refund and also just because it's the right thing to do.

I also reached out to their travel agent who was helping book the flights and ask about refund policy and gave them a little rant about how can they continue to think this trip or any others they are planning can still go forward..they are endangering students and EVERYONE they come into contact with!

We have been fundraising and coordinating with the local community college to help her take this trip, so I am worried about calling it off without consulting them as well.

I want THEM to drop the hammer, so to speak. I don't want to look like a panicky mommy when we are literally working with local foundations and businesses for fundraising for her...I don't want to shit on her dream.
