Why The Hell People Aren't Helping?

[cabalism13]

Recently I have made a post on making chaRity activities and raising funds for a good cause. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.0

Until I have seen some people that are ready to help and encountered a person who really is in need, and yet the fundraising event is not getting any attention even though it already have some activities.

Does any person will be poor if he donates a $1 money coming from his own pocket? Although I know that donations are made willingly and not forcibly but the fact that humanity is not really satisfying as of now, I feel sorry for those who're in bad shape.

If I were have the money, I would like to donate as much as I can (I already did but a small amount). And as in the meantime, I don't have anything to give but I will as soon as I have.

I'm still hoping that it will get some attention, in fact the funds are being escrowed by a trusted user.

The priest needs that money more than you do.

The government forces me at gunpoint to give far too much money to charity already..

humanity is not really satisfying as of now

Humanity is pretty ruthless..

Your thread has only been open for one day and you are already not satisfied with the result? And it has already turned into a debate about UBI..
You want the, slightly not poor, 1st world countries to just feed everyone in 3rd world countries, so their population can explode, so they can feed them too, so the population will explode, and then what?
Set yourself up for a massive famine once the free stuff runs out is what, and that will be our fault too..

There are a lot of poor people in the world, and simply putting out your hand is not enough now days. You have to demonstrate exactly how the money will be used to produce positive results. One way to do this is to create some kind of for profit enterprise that donates a certain percentage of the income to your charity. One concept I was thinking of the other day that might help you get your project off the ground is to create a signature campaign. People could use the signatures voluntarily as a sort of donation, or you could use a separate fund to pay out users to wear your signatures that people could donate to. You could focus on signing up people from the nations you are trying to help. You could for example also get payments from people with smaller websites or services that wish to advertise through your program who would otherwise see a whole campaign signature program as overkill. With this extra exposure you should be able to get more people active in your program.

I know you have good intentions dude but you can't ask people to easily shell out any amount by indicating it' for charity. I'm not ssying that this one is fraudulent or shady, but with the number of such antics that ended up to be bogus, people would require proof. I wouldn't mind sending a buck but trust isn't actually given that easily in these times.

[BADecker]

^^^ Right!

Look left in this post. Do you see my Bitcoin address? Donate to me. I'll use it for good, right?

Thank you for researching this out and that is more reason we should understand that because  people are not giving financial aid through you do not mean they are not giving aid.  Remember it is aid and not right and since is not right we should appreciate the one we have seeing.

Are you connected to bitcointalk? You are using the forum's name.
 Even if you have good intentions you may not have the ability to carry them out.
Typically I'll check out Charity Navigator to scope out places I give money to.

You are correct: sometimes people in crypto can be cynical: wish people would have given more support to Sean's Outpost...it's a bummer to see them non-op.


Stop cursing at us while you're asking for money.  <----that'd be a good start ;-)

people have limited ressources.

Maybe it doesn't get the attention of right people,you can try to give the link of your thread on Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion where there are many guys who is holding bunch of bitcoin,so of them maybe willing to help.

[okala]

Thank goodness you said donations are made willingly so no one is obligated to helping another person bit in this word we all need help and nobody can make it on his or her own, but the society we leave in today is opposite due to scam and the deceive all around made people relent in helping others.

[TECSHARE]

Considering how responsive the OP is to the replies it is no wonder no one is interested in helping.

It's nice initiative by you, but I find it strange that you're surprised that many people don't want to donate. There are multiple reasons why:
Not every person here is rich and some of them are counting every dollar that they earn, so they can't afford to donate.
You can't change the world with these tiny donations. Even if you will donate whole your wage, your donation still will have very small influence. We as individual people don't have much power
There are so many charity organisations in this world, if I didn't donated here, does it means that I don't donate at all. I'm simply not rich enough to donate every time when I see someone requesting for money. I have to work hard to earn money for my own needs, not to give away all money that I earn.
I'm not talking about you, but some people are sceptical about charity because often donated money don't reach people who really need it. Some charity organisations spend these money for other things like PR, there are so many stories about it.

It would be off-topic.

You know what you should build your financial  status first. No matter what you have to say or do you can't always expect that someone are also willing to help.

So why not instead focusing on making your income as high as possible so that you can do it by yourself then eventually someone might be convinced of your efforts and will help you then.


Wanna know some fact?, even the churches to whatever religion are getting the donations for their own priorities building useless elegant establishments for praying purposes instead of giving it back to poor people. That is the fvcking reality even those you keeps on telling other people to help are not doing the act

[r1a2y3m4]

Dude, stop calling it charity if you wanted to force people to donate in your event. :/ I'm not saying that this one is shady, since I know you kabayan. You've posted this at our forum section. But please, don't force people.

~You have to demonstrate exactly how the money will be used to produce positive results.~

Agreed, TheWaterfoundation.org concept is as an example. They send a donator and the community a report about how far they have been making progress for the donation. I believe it somehow gives the feeling of usefulness about every $ or bitcoin donated, and it indirectly triggers peoples to donate more since they know the amount spent has been put to good use.

<....>

Despite the good intention, asking people for donation is not that easy to garner. People have their priorities and you cannot just expect them to donate cash just because they have the means so. Maybe have already donated into a particular charity or they need the cash for their daily-monthly obligations.

This is actually true. I think my suggestion would be posting more pictures, showing the concrete development, or the purchasing of materials/food which are to be given to these people.
I never doubted your donation page but people would like to see on where their money is going. Post more pictures and more visual aids to make the page more convincing enough to catch the attention of big-hearted people on the forum.

I will try to donate when I get the opportunity this week!

[BADecker]

I followed TECSHARE's example, and donated a merit to somebody... I don't remember who.

[OgNasty]

Many people have their own charities that they support.  I personally send funds to 3 different charities and 3 different organizations on a regular basis.  Not saying they're better uses of funds than your charity, but you can't expect to just become everyone's goto charity simply because you exist, nor can you assume since people aren't donating to your project that they aren't making other charitable contributions elsewhere.

This chart is bullshit. US is not giving any aid for free. They have their own vested interest and they are disguising in the name of the humanitarian aids.
