formulate a solution that takes into account audience characteristics... requirements, and expectations?

the scenerio
I have tell 25 classmate that our trip has been canceled for mexico because the bus company filed bankruptcy and they will not be getting their $100.00 deposit back. I have to find a solution that takes into account my audience characteristic which i am assuming is college students and the requirements which i am stuck at
and the expectations which i am assuming the college student wants to go to mexico can anyone help me please.

I know that $100 can mean a lot to a college student, but we have to face reality. The money is lost. The good news: It isn't more than $100; when things like this happens folk usually lose many hundreds or even thousands. What we can learn is to do better research on tour operators. In addition, you might try to get publicity--say, a local newspaper--to print the story and perhaps some civic-minded group will start, and contribute to, a fund. Finally, get the college newspaper to report the story and ask students to contribute $1 or more to help defray the loss.
