Thank You and Happy New Year
Thanks to your support along with our partners, we have made positive movement in not only getting basic care items to Airan and Luke (things like books, snacks, and hygienic sundries), but we have also been afforded the rare opportunity to communicate with them every so often through channels like phone and video calls.
Communication is sporadic and sparse, but in the talks we have been allowed to have with Luke and Airan, they have expressed gratitude for everything you have been able to do for them; through well wishes, sharing their story, donations, and general support -- it all means the world.
January 22nd was also Luke's birthday. While it is painful for his family to not be able to celebrate with him, Luke knows we are all here fighting for him, and we won't stop until he is home.
If there are any words of encouragement or support you'd like to express to them, please let us know and we will attempt to forward it the next time we are allowed communication (any names and personal information will not be shared for the security and safety of our supporters - we can wait on that until they are home, safe and sound!).
To contribute directly, you can go here, or visit the GoFundMe.
You have been instrumental in getting goods to them and providing the support and funds needed to keep this operation going.
From Airan and Luke, their families, us, and our partners, thank you so much.
Happy New Year to you and yours, and here's to a positive 2021!
