I decided a few months ago that I was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I got a free airplane ticket, but had to pay the hotel in cash, which I really couldn’t afford. I found a travel website where a discounted 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.

About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable (可转手的) to another person, couldn't be changed to a later date and wasn't refundable. For the next two weeks I tried selling it on Craig's list with no success. Five days before the "big weekend", I gave up trying to get any money back and decided I'd contact some acquaintances who live in Chicago and offer someone a free stay. After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.

That's when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the room in the wrong way. Instead of viewing it for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put it to good use, and that was the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it. I eventually found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and made it easier to transfer the room. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room. I was later told by the shelter "they had a blast".
