We are 1/3 of the way through our Kickstarter campaign, and continue to be energized at how people are responding to the story of Alex and Ali.  In addition to pledging money, individuals and organizations have contacted us and offered to help.  We are grateful.

Here are some notes from those who have pledged . . .

“It’s a beautiful story.  It chokes me up every time I watch one of your teaser videos.  It really brings home the power of love and the importance of patience, which is a good lesson for me now because my boyfriend is in Alabama and I’m not a patient person lol.  It’s proof to me like nothing else that no matter what race, nationality, background, or even gender, love from the soul transcends all.  These two men need to meet.  They deserve their chance at happiness together after all this time.”  – Sarah

“The backstory is just so amazing I decided to donate some money. There’s never a bad time to make a love story, but it seems even more relevant considering how the world’s attention is currently turned to the Middle East and Iran.” – Rachel

“We feel special sympathy for the story. Having gone through a somewhat tedious and complicated process to be together, gave us an idea of the enormous complexity of their situation.”- Nicolas and Katharine

“I chose to support the project because I was touched by how and when the two met.  I was also touched by your connection to them.  I am excited for them and for you.”  – Daniel

“I have supported a couple things on Kickstarter.   I think the ‘kickstart’ program is brilliant – a wonderful way to get the word out, let folks know what something is about and who’s behind it..and give them a chance to “put in their two cents”, quite literally.”- Cindy
