Title: Doe Een Wens (Make a Wish) is looking for help! See inside Post by: Amanda on August 25, 2011, 02:56:18 PM Hey there,
I'm Amanda, the so called 'Mother' of the Doe Een Wens stichting. It's a Dutch foundation for kids that aren't able to live a 'normal' live due to mental or physical handicaps. You can find our site at www.doeeenwens.nl. As an example of what we do, we look for kids that have a special wish (hence the name) of something they want to do once in their life but aren't able to do so because of financial problems or other reasons. We take cancer patients to their sports or music hero, we take kids suffering from leukemia to Disney World, those kind of things. To afford this, we live from sponsors. These can be famous sportsmen (like Edwin van de Sar, who helped us out lately), as well as donations from the 'crowd'. And that's why I'm posting here! If you ever feel like helping kids live out their dream or have the best day of their life that they'll never forget, this is your chance! You'd have our eternal graditute if you help us out on this. Donating can be done by Texting, Bank transfers or since lately.. Bitcoins! I started out with mining bitcoins as my own hobby, till I realized the potential of it for Doe Een Wens! For the number to Text, see www.doeeenwens.nl. Bank transfer-donating can be done by filling in the form here. The Bitcoin Wallet I set up for Doe Een Wens is 1sx31pL4Sd36Wa6oNNs9rhnWGcLY5EhEf Thanks a LOT, from both me and the kids you help!

This is a wonderful idea. As soon as you put a Bitcoin icon on your website, linking to the address you list in your post, I will be the first to donate (provided no one else beats me to it). And if you're not Amanda and you have nothing to do with the Make A Wish Foundation and are simply trying to make some free BTC from donations, there's a special place in hell reserved for you :D Title: Re: Doe Een Wens (Make a Wish) is looking for help!

If you want our contributions, you have to do us a favor too by helping to spread awareness of Bitcoin.

I for one think one way to spread the word about Bitcoin is to get more NGO's and charities to start accepting it as donations. I'd LOVE to be able to donate some to Unicef, but when I wrote them about it, they said they have no plans to start taking BTC!!! If this works out for you, it would be great if you could spread the news to Make A Wish in the US, Canada and other countries. Cheers, Title: Re: Doe Een Wens (Make a Wish) is looking for help!

Kudos to you for making this donation option available. I now donate to organizations only with Bitcoin. Sorry EFF, Mises.org, etc.
