Adham Fares hasn't added a story.
Hello Everyone,
As you may or may not have known, Pete's grandfather has been
suffering from various illnesses for the past year. Pete has confided
in me, at more than one occasion, that he has not seen his grandfather
for quite some time now. He is afraid that if anything would ever
happen to the him, he would be extremely upset that he did not get to
sit down with him one last time and perhaps listen to the wisdom that
he has to offer.
My grandmother died of leukemia and bone cancer. My grandfather
died of cancer in his trachea. I did not get to see either of them
when they passed away. I am not an overly emotional person, but it
remains a hole in my heart that all that's left of them is a silver
necklace and a passport sized photo. I do not want the same to happen
to Peter.
What's in it for you? Absolutely positively nothing. The
beautiful thing about altruism is that it provides you with an
opportunity to make the world a slightly more loving place without the
potential of a return on your investment. You won't get accolades or
high fives, you will do this from the goodness of your heart. The only
thing you might get is perhaps a couple of pictures of the Slovenian
countryside which I hear is a sight to see.
Funding Details
The $1500 will simply cover airfare from Kelowna to Slovenia (Airfare
will vary but at least we can get him up in the air). The other 500$
(I will provide this value) is to give him some leeway if ever the
airfare gets more expensive or he needs some extra pocket money. I
will personallly give him a cheque for $1500 and will take a picture
and perhaps upload it on Facebook with privacy settings that enable
only contributers to see it.
Remember, anything from $1 (peanuts, no really he can buy
peanuts on the plane) to $X is appreciated.
Other ways to contribute
If you know of his close friends back in Ontario, or you know of
anyone who I might not be able to reach, please please contact them
and let them know about this. With the $500 that I will put in, I
foresee no real reason that we need to expand well beyond the
immediate social circle, but I guess the more the merrier.
Let it be known that this is my first ever crowd funded campaign
online. My experience in the past has been with raising money for
charity and overall I have raised over $8000 for the different charity
funds. This is different but I will try to answer all your questions
and be as transparent as...who's a superhero that's really
transparent? You get the point.
This will indeed provide Pete with a little more reassurance
that humanity is not as he percieves it to be.
Thank you very much.
