Under the Olive Branches: A Tale of Courage and Harmony

0:00Hi, my name is Mira Pataston. I'm an author and I'm an activist and GoFundMe is my go-to platform for fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chat book or a collection of poetry and essays and short stories. So we started to GoFundMe and our goal was 7,000. What I've learned is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection of people offering anything from like four dollars to four hundred dollars and each time you get a ping that someone donated even if it is just four dollars it's so exciting.
