Woman donates blood plasma to fund her trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando

To what extent are you ready to go in order to fulfill your travel dreams? A woman in Philadelphia loves the Walt Disney World in Orlando so much that she has decided to visit there once every month with her sister, and cover the cost by donating blood plasma.

The woman, Liz Gramlich, says that she is helping someone in the process, and has already visited Walt Disney World every month this year. She is also booked to visit in April.

Gramlich reportedly donates her blood plasma twice every week, and buys the tickets when it is the cheapest in the month. By donating her plasma, she manages to cover the costs of flights and hotels.

Gramlich said that in 2020 she had flown out for a day’s visit to the theme park in Orlando, from Philadelphia as the flight took only two hours between the two cities. It was her first trip since she was three years old. Now by donating blood plasma, she has managed to make this a regular occurance.

Reports suggest that she paid $25 for a return ticket, which was cheaper than the cost of petrol to fill up her car. Then post the COVID restrictions, as the ticket prices also increased, Gramlich and her sister had to pay $150 for a return ticket from Philadelphia to Orlando. This sudden rise in ticket prices forced her to donate blood plasma in order to fund her trips to the Walt Disney World in Orlando.

Her donations help her to earn about $498 every month, and this has helped her during her travels.
