Dear Everyone Who Believes in Justice,
I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for every signature on my petition—we’ve now reached over 670 supporters. Your kindness and solidarity have given me hope during a time when I’ve felt most alone.
Even with so many of you speaking up, I’m sad to share that no government minister has reached out or responded. It’s painful to see how easily the voices of temporary visa holders and survivors of racial abuse can be ignored.
I’m still here, still speaking up—not only for myself, but for all who suffer in silence.

If you feel able to help financially,. please know I hesitated even to ask. I’ve set up a small GoFundMe to help me cover essentials—, groceries, and medical care especially my medications for Post Traumatic tress Disorder —so I can keep fighting this fight. I understand if you can’t contribute financially; just reading this, signing, and sharing already means more than words can say.

Thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for standing by me. Your compassion is what keeps me going.
With deep gratitude,
Hiroki Goto
