SAN DIEGO, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- CSA Travel Protection has extended a helping hand to two girls from Phoenix, Arizona. On Saturday, July 14, 2007, Paris Garcia, 11, and her 14-year-old sister, Sterling were selling lemonade in the effort to save enough money to go to Sea World on their annual trip to San Diego. Two women approached the girls to purchase lemonade and paid with a $50 dollar bill. The girls gave the two women change for the $50 but came up short with only $38 dollars. One of the women said "Keep the change!" At ages 11 and 14 you can imagine how excited the girls were to get an $11 dollar tip! Hours later the girls' father, Steve Garcia, broke the bad news that the $50 dollar bill was counterfeit.
CSA Travel Protections CEO, Les Maine, was traveling and caught the news this morning and saw the story about the Lemonade Stand Girls being ripped off. "We want the Garcia girls to know that while there are people like those two women with the bogus $50 dollar bill, there are also good solid Americans that won't stand for such poor treatment." -- Les Maine, CEO CSA Travel Protection.
After speaking with the Garcia family, CSA Travel Protection has offered Travel Insurance at NO COST to the girls and family members traveling from Arizona to San Diego, California. CSA also thought since these girls had their hard earned cash basically "stolen" that we are also paying for the girls and their family to spend the day at their original destination, Sea World!
CSA called the Garcia family to let them know the good news. Steve Garcia was very grateful and not long after both Paris and Sterling Garcia called CSA to say thank you for such a kind gesture. "We are so excited to come to San Diego and now we will still get to go to Sea World. How cool!" said Sterling.
CSA hopes to show the girls that there is good in the world and at their age they should kick back and enjoy their vacation in beautiful San Diego.
