To our fellow donors,
Following our successful fundraising campaign with Global Giving, the total sum of $7312.36 (CAND) was sent to CART's bank account on October 27, 2015.
Thanks to our donors' generous contributions, CART was able to hire a new lawyer to work on one of our major cases. From the amount of donations received, $382 (CAND) has been used so far, to the payment of plane tickets, food and lodging to the lawyer in question during his first visit to one victim, currently serving a life sentence while being completely innocent. Other visits at similar cost are already planned before June of 2016.
Another $2100 (CAND) will be allocated in the upcoming weeks (by mid-December) in order to contract professional investigators in charge of gathering new elements of proof in another case.
The cost of a round-trip plane ticket (approx. $1600 (CAND)) is already considered in the use of the money raised.
According to our estimates, $4105 (CAND) will have been used by January, 2015, which accounts for 56 % of funds raised.
For security reasons and for the sake of our defense work, CART will not provide public details concerning the identity of victims, nor specifics on type of action currently in the works, for doing so would have negative consequences. However, we wish to assure our donors and followers that their contributions are being used carefully, consciously and meticulously, reassuring you have helped significantly impact the lives of those who have been wrongfully detained and convicted, as well as their families.
