As explained upthread, point donations aren't going to work. Whilst they went over on one way fares, there is the opportunity to now purchase return fares, ex-Canada so they should be cheaper, giving them the opportunity to return to Canada to visit Jennifer's family within a year. An option, but one only Scott can decide.Yes and no.
If Red Roo can swing it, any points donated that are enough for Scott and the kids to redeem a one way classic reward ticket back say, either from YVR or YYZ or LAX or DFW etc, than there's one less headache for Scott to worry about. Also bearing in mind that one way fares are generally are more expensive, sometimes more than a discounted return ticket. Points can be held until such time that Scott deem that it is time for them to return back and then with further help from Red Roo, to acquire the classic reward tickets.
Money donated can be used for flights from wherever they are to the appropriate airport to connect to the redeemed flights. Any left over money can used for a trust fund (or something like that) for the kids.

That appears to be the best option at present. The current total is over $21K, well over the $15K target
In regards to QFF points, id be interested to see how many points have been pledged so far, by my count, over 110 000.
Rules can always be waived at the discretion of those that have the power and whilst money is king, not everyone has lots of money to give but QFF from spending money, flying personally or with work, so I wouldn't rule points out totally.
