Why This Matters
Your donation supports North Korean refugees in amplifying their voices. These books aren’t just stories—they are testaments to resilience, freedom, and the power of transformation. By owning a signed copy, you are directly championing these brave individuals and spreading their message.
Our Grassroots Hustle
We take inspiration from stories like that of MC Hammer, who in the 1980s sold his records directly out of the trunk of his car to connect with fans and share his music. Similarly, we’re embracing a creative, hands-on approach to deliver these impactful stories. Due to high shipping costs it is prohibitive to us to ship signed copies directly from South Korea. The books will be shipped during the FSI's co-founders' trip to the USA. This allows us to maximize impact while minimizing expenses—one book, one donor, one story at a time.
