With Deepest Thanks

I want to take a quiet moment to thank the people who made this beginning possible.

Launching the Bisheh Project has been one of the most tender and vulnerable experiences of my life. I’ve carried this idea for so long—through doubt, through hope, through countless quiet hours of building something I wasn’t sure the world would understand.

But you did.

You believed in it.

And you gave, generously, lovingly, wholeheartedly.

To each of you who donated:

Your support became the first thread in this tapestry. You helped me bring this project to life with care. And most of all, you reminded me that small, slow things still matter.

You didn’t just fund a project. You nurtured it.

With love and deep appreciation, I want to honor your names here:

Thank you to our donors:

John O’Leary, Mahmoud Hamadani, Christopher Ronk, Sheida Dayani, Parisa Afkhami, Tracy Sagalow, Mary C Hill, Rahil Najafabadi, Yukiko Uchida, Laura Parnes, Diba Dayani, Mark Smith, Roya Khadjavi, and Robabeh Roozitalab. I will add all the new names here.

Your names are now part of the Bisheh archive. Every letter sent carries your presence, quietly and gratefully.

With all my heart, thank you.

With care,

Negin Mahzoun

The very first letter is getting ready. Today, I captured this moment with love.
