In Solidarity With Hasel Afshar

Thank you everyone who has reached out to show continued support to Hasel. He is a humble man who tends to live a quiet life, and the past few days have been understandably overwhelming. In spite of that, he is extremely grateful for the outpouring of love.

While it was initially expected that the donations from this campaign would go to offset the costs of repairing the extensive damage done to his home, a contractor close to Hasel stepped forward to donate professional services, which will be finished soon!

After exploring different options, Mr. Afshar has ultimately decided to personally accept the donations. It is important to him that donors through this campaign are aware that the money will go to him directly so that there is no ambiguity.

We recognize that this may not be in accordance with what some donors wished to contribute toward, so please know we completely understand if parties would like a refund. No moneys have been withdrawn to ensure all donors have an opportunity to review this information. The GoFundMe team is very helpful in supporting refunding donors who contact them (https://www.gofundme.com/guarantee-refund-policy)
