180227 beatburgerjae: 애증하는 똥깡아지 원 투 쓰리 포 빠이브 식스 세븐 에잇 이친구들 덕분에 상상도 못했던 올림픽 무대도 연출하게 되었습니다. 각자 바쁜 스케줄에서도 우린 노력했으며 우리에게 짧게 주어진 시간을 소중히 쓰려 했습니다. 믿고 해내준 우리 친구들 안다치고 무사히 마쳐줘서 너무 고맙고 감사합니다. 엘리시온 공연 준비중에 얘기가 나온 폐막식 연출은 초기엔 시간이 많아 보였으나 급변하는 상황과 아쉬운 예산들로 기획을 축소하거나 포기하거나 바뀌야하는 순간들 아이디어를 뒤집어야 하는 상황이 많았고 그러다 보니 줄어드는 시간. 한정된 리허설 횟수들이 부담감으로 작용했지만 옆에서 끝까지 응원하고 서포트 해준 우리 진욱씨 @jinuk2222 와 힘든상황에서도 제편이 되어준 정동민 피디님께도 감사인사 드립니다. 이젠 정말 없을 평창올림픽 가슴으로 기억하겠습니다 감사합니다. #EXO #closingceremony #평창올림픽폐막식 

180227 beatburgerjae: The puppies* that i love and hate. Thanks to this one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight friends, i was able to participate in the Olympic stage - a stage that i’ve never ever imagined. We worked through our individual busy schedules and spent the little time that we have cherishingly. These friends whom i trust would complete the task well, i’m so thankful that you completed the performance safely and without injuries. 

The news about the closing ceremony performance came to us while we were preparing for Elyxion. Initially we had a lot of time to plan for it, but due to the sudden change in situation and the regretful budget, there were many instances where we had to downscale or forego or change our plans. There were many situations where we had to change our entire idea, and because of that time was running out.

Though we felt burdened by the limited time we have to rehearse on the actual stage, i want to thank our Jinwook-ssi who cheered and supported us from the very start to end and Jung Dongmin PD who when encountered with difficult situations is able to resolve it with ease.

This is really the end. I will remember the Pyeongchang Olympics in my heart, thank you.

As a lot of you already know thanks to this post, Aisha and Chefi are a muslim family with absolutely no funds since Aida, Chefi’s wife, passed away in December and he succumbed to depression and anxiety. 

Now, after their place has become a threat to Aisha’s health and the houseowner has warned Chefi about kicking him out if he doesn’t leave by June, as he can’t pay rent, we’ve found the perfect place for them to live in. 

Sadly, we can’t afford it. Read the full article to see more pictures of their heartbreaking situation and of the home they’ve set their eyes on. The differences will shock you. 

In this post, which was the beginning of it all, I mentioned the many hardships that we had feeding, healing and comforting Chefi and Aisha after their late wife and mother passed away. Today, they’re in the same situation.

This family can’t afford groceries, still getting non-perishable goods from the Red Cross and little to none fresh food. Their medicines are limited, including the baby’s extremely expensive inhalers, Chefi’s antidepressants which basically keep him alive and, last but not least… The baby’s oxygen tank. 

Back in the day purchased by a generous donator, it’s already running low. And with the awfully hot temperatures and allergens in the spring air, the baby truly needs a new one to keep her acute asthma in place. The total of the tank ascends to 1275€, the same price of the first tank we obtained. The inhalers, antidepressants and such are a bit over 350€. 

And as much as their safety plus physical and mental health alarm me, their nutrition, sadly, goes first. The baby’s nutrition, mostly. Her supplies are out of our league, so please feel free to check out this list of items that she desperatedly needs, including baby formula, regular baby food and, sadly, diapers too. She’s just 5 months old so the items she needs remain the same.

TLDR; although moving this family out of their dangerous home is our main goal, the baby needs a new oxygen tank, new inhalers, regular supplies such as diapers and food and, if possible, some clothes for this summer since she owns absolutely none. 

Q: Did Chefi and Aisha get evicted? 

A: Yes they did. 

Q: Did Aisha get her meds for a cheaper price, finally?

A: Yes she did. Relatively, but she did. 

Q: Did they find a place to stay? 

A: Against all odds, yes. It’s an unofficial shelter. 

Q: Is it a safe place? 

A: No, I’d be lying through my fucking teeth if I said it was. In fact, Chefi was attacked by one of the persons staying there too. Why? Because of his religion. 

Q: Are you still stubborn about getting them both a decent place to live in?

A: Of course. Everyone deserves a roof and four walls at least.

If curiosity is truly killing you, feel free to check our YouCaring campaign, it’s still the same, a few updates here and there. We’ve been receiving very little donations from the same 4 people since this blog first got suspended by Tumblr during July 2017. Chefi and Aisha are getting by, but the moment we stop receiving those very little donations, the thread they’re hanging by will snap. 

Q: How can I help?
