“Peter Wang, 15, was one of the students killed in Florida this past week. He was a Jrotc Cadet who was last seen, in uniform, holding doors open and thus allowing other students, teachers, and staff to flee to safety. Wang was killed in the process. His selfless and heroic actions have led to the survival of dozens in the area. Wang died a hero, and deserves to be treated as such, and deserves a full honors military burial.”

“They want to insure that future generation of kids are taught the same values that the program has instilled in Peter.” Leong wrote.

Many people might not know this, but despite our large and loyal following which we are immensely grateful for, NextShark is still a small bootstrapped startup that runs on no outside funding or loans.Everything you see today is built on the backs of warriors who have sacrificed opportunities to help give Asians all over the world a bigger voice.However, we still face many trials and tribulations in our industry, from figuring out the most sustainable business model for independent media companies to facing the current COVID-19 pandemic decimating advertising revenues across the board.We hope you consider making a contribution so we can continue to provide you with quality content that informs, educates and inspires the Asian community.Thank you for everyone’s support. We love you all and can’t appreciate you guys enough.
