Unbelievable Support
When Sam started the funding page, his goal was set for $60,000. But the campaign ended up raising more than $670,000 from over 17,000 people who gave donations. Even Hollywood stars like Ashton Kutcher donated to his cause. Sam described it as completely “overwhelming.” And while people were helping fund his cause, they were belittling his wife at the same time. And yet, Sam still came to her defense. Although it was a painful situation for Sam to be in, he says ‘his wife isn’t to blame, instead she was a victim “of the social norms in Armenia”.’
