Pacific NW - Anyone willing to donate a couple nights to a missions couple?
Portland natives, mid-20s, married, no kids or pets. They have been serving in Kosovo and are home for a short break to visit family. They don't have a lot of money and are hoping someone may be willing to donate a couple nights in a mountain cabin somewhere near Salem. If you know of anyone willing/able to help out, please let me know! Gracias!

Well, personally I don't mind ponying up a couple of days to someone doing Gods work.
Especially seeing as someone I kinda know and trust like @Nathan Gesner is mentioning it.
I have given out free days to people who had to cancel due to major health issues. We had an older couple book with their family. The husband had a major stroke and could no longer navigate stairs. They had to cancel last minute (after the 14 day cutoff). I refunded them completely.
I then hosted them for 3 days free a year later after he was doing much better. It was more off season as we are solidly booked for 5 months a year but it was early fall. They spent so much of their retirement on medical bills they could no longer afford any kind of getaway.
I was happy to do it. They were great guests. This is not a toot my own horn type of post, but one that realizes that sometimes it's good to provides something to others.
My 2 cents, as per usual.
