My dad owes thousands of dollars for his over stay fee but that's not his fault he has been trying to come home. 

Seems like almost no one is willing to accept responsibility for their own actions anymore.  Much easier to blame it on someone else or the "evil government".

Seems simple enough to me - they are looking for 1500 bucks to pay his flight home and have created a story to motivate donations.

Are they so in need of $1500 though? It's hardly a massive sum.

They are wanting $15,000 according to the GoFundMe page.  

Seems like a large amount considering :

• Fine for Overstaying – (additional) Php 500.00 per month
• Motion for Reconsideration for Overstaying – (additional) Php 500.00 + Php 10.00 (LRF)
• Re-issuance of ACR for (2^nd entry of every entry after 59 days) – Php 250 [for minors: Php 150]
• Application fee is only Php 300.00 for overstaying

Maybe they want him to fly first class on the way home?

We know how you stand in that regard Graham! 

You and Snowy could have a prayer meeting or something.

In actual fact, my grandfather was a Methodist local preacher, with his own chapel.... from which my siblings and I were banned, for being disruptive.
