Aura Burghiu is raising money for Hospitality Action
“Aura Burghiu's fundraising”

on 1 July 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Behind their smiles and slick service hospitality workers can fall upon hard times just like anybody else. Ours is a stressful industry, with long hours, high pressure environments and physically demanding work. We are here to offer financial, physical and psychological support to those who need it.
