To everyone who chipped in to help boost this petition—wow. You’ve raised $5,366 from 360 incredible people, and I’m honestly so moved.

When I started this, all I hoped for were signatures (thanks to those people also). I never imagined anyone would feel compelled to donate—money was never something I had in the back of my mind. So to see this kind of support come through is incredibly humbling. Your generosity has helped spread this campaign across Change.org and beyond, and we’ve already seen a huge lift in signatures because of it.

There’s more good news, too—Change.org has reached out and offered to send a personal message from me to their wider email list in the coming days. This means our message is going to reach even more people, and it wouldn’t be happening without you.

Your donations aren’t just dollars—they’re a show of belief, kindness, and solidarity. You’ve helped turn a petition into a movement, and I’m so grateful.

With love and gratitude,
Simone 🩵
