在Quora上關注Neman Ashraf好久了，Neman是個小警察，為什么時候是個小警察呢！因為級別比較低，Police constable，最低級別的警察。雖說警級很低，在知乎上寫文字卻寫的跟母語級別人一樣好。Neman家境不大好，上的是非英文授課的學校，英文完全是他自學的。

Neman愛玩Quora，粉絲5.84萬，最近他在Quora上發起了一個眾籌，建個他自己的房子，如下是他的眾籌信，我大意的翻譯了下，不知道他能不能籌集足夠的資金，建好自己的房子，我拭目以待，當然如果你愿意給他加片磚，或者一抔沙的話，隨意！

This is awkward.

很尷尬！

And sincerely, the idea of having you go through this…. cringes me. I’m having a situation that demands dire resolve and after thinking long and hard over it and failing to find a solution, I have decided to share it with you in hopes of a miracle.

坦率地說，讓你經歷這種，實在是讓我難以啟齒。我想了好久好久都沒想到個好的辦法，實在不得以才這么做，想跟你分享，并期待能有奇跡！

 Our house needs to be rebuilt from grounds up as It is over 50 years old structure and in quite a poor condition. After spending years in service and with all the savings this is what I could barely afford to buy in name of a house. It has cost me every dime and then some.

我們的家已經有50多年的歷史了，很破舊，需要重新建。花光了我多年的工作所有積蓄后我勉強買下了這個稱作是家的房子。還借了些錢！

 Still, it’s a wonderful realization that I have my own house. I had never imagined of this all my life. I mean… out of a $300 monthly paycheck, it’s rather impossible to endure through all the expenses at home and still be able to save something like this..

不管咋說，我算是有了自己的房子，此生連我自己的無法想象我能擁有自己的房子，我的意思是，每一個月300美金（2075元人民幣）的工資，除了家庭開銷，還能省下錢差不多是幾乎不可能的事情了。。

 This is some achievement.

這是我們的現狀。

 Since we moved in, I knew what’s coming next…. a full reconstruction from scratch. Walls are built with clay, the roof is willing to give up. No matter how good you mop the floor, it’s no use as dirt keeps popping from cracks. Just a six feet high boundary wall is a continuous concern for my family’s safety whenever I’m gone to work. But of course, we made it work thankfully as an average small house price ranges around $50,000 while we got ours for a bit over $14,000. This is like moon for us. My kids have their own place now and their mother is grateful to finally have her own house.

自從我們搬進來后, 我就知道接下來會發生什么... 從頭開始完全重建。墻是用粘土建造的, 屋頂是完全開放棄的。不管你擦地板有多好, 污垢總是從裂縫中冒出來。只要我去上班, 一堵六英尺高的邊界墻是我家庭安全保障。值得高興的是，我們周圍的房子平均是5萬美金（人民幣34.5萬），我們的卻只花了1.4萬。這是我們夢寐以求的東西。我的老婆和孩子終于有了自己的家，非常感激著一切。

 What actually caused the gravest concerns about the worsening situation of this house… was the rains. The roof started dripping, water rushed through the walls spilling clay all over like it’s some waterfall… ruining the furniture and everything.

每次一下雨，水像瀑布一樣從裂縫中出來，屋里的家具、到處都是水。

 I have to admit that the house needs to be properly reconstructed sooner than later. An average estimate is around $19,000.

我必須承認，房子越快修好越好。差不多要1.9萬美金（13萬人民幣）。

 That’s too much for me.

對我來說，太多了。

 Even if I start saving in die hard mode for the remainder of my service in the Police department and if that became feasible somehow the cost would have tripled anyway by that time. No bank is going to loan me given my profession.

即便我從現在開始存錢知道我退休，到時候成本也會翻倍了，因為我工作的原因，也沒有銀行會給我貸款。

 I have no means to manage that on my own.

我實在沒別的辦法了。

 So I came with this to you… as a last resort.

所以，我來這里，向你們...，最后試一次。

Well, more of a desperate and shameless plea for crowd funding. I humbly request you to please take this into consideration and see if you can spare a few bucks comfortably. That would mean the world to me. It’s a very big sum and I’d thankfully accept any size of donations since every penny counts.

哎，來眾籌感覺是非常的孤注一擲，以及無恥。我謙卑地請求您，看看您能不能勻幾塊錢給我。那對我來說真是全世界?？偨痤~很大，不管多少的捐贈我都非常感激。

 Maybe I’ll make it. 

也許，我會成功。

Last year I ran this campaign for two months, nearly a hundred people donated an amount over $4700 but unfortunately, it didn’t go on for long enough as the relevant payment processor shut it down. Since then, besides spending over 15 hours a day at work, I have been carrying this frustration for inability to run this campaign and it’s been depressing.

去年我也發起了這個眾籌，100來給幫忙，籌了4700多美金，但后來支付方關閉了這個眾籌，就結束了。從那以后，除了每天工作超過15個小時，我一直背負著無法組織這場運動的挫敗感，這讓我很沮喪。

I want to say, I’m hopeful.

我想說，我充滿希望。

 For, I believe in you.

因為我相信您。
