A VERY BIG thank you to supporters who donated to the “Bring Hassan Home 2017 Fundraising Campaign”.

So far, we have raised $20,425 to ensure an innocent Canadian does not have to spend another day in prison while his legal odyssey goes on. We are 51% towards our goal of raising $40,000 by August 30, 2017.
