A Crypto Christmas; Using Bitcoin to help feed the homeless

[mich]

This is a real feel good story "Christmas In the Slums" and one we can use during these tough times around the world.

The power of bitcoin stems far beyond this website and these pictures of Bardeh and the Nigerian children shows this.

Its almost the end of the year. Christmas is here again and everyone is excited and busy with the festive season so much so we forget what Christmas is really about. Christmas is commercial these days.  As a result, I decided to start this project "Christmas In the Slums" mainly because I always wanted to help lift my community using crypto. I feel strongly for the homeless because I grew up in a poor family and I know first hand the shame and pain of poverty. Anyways, I went to the market today to buy some food items to hand out. I will be going out Christmas morning to hand out some meals and food items. This will continue till the end of the year 25-31st December 2021. Hopefully we can extend the project.  I designed a flyer with some QR codes and the url for the Bitcointalk website to maybe help gain exposure. I also made customized T-shirts for the kids.  I plan on expanding this as much as I can and getting the much needed exposure to push the campaign. Funny thing though the driver that drove us to the market told me he is hodling Shiba Inu and wakanda Inu, looking at his appearance one wouldn't think he's educated on crypto. I was so excited I started early and gave him a loaf of bread from the items.



That's the driver. His name is Bardeh. I had an amazing conversation with Bardeh. He was very happy to talk about Bitcoin and he had an open mind to learn.

These kinds of posts make me believe that there are still so many kind people in the world despite all of the bad things and events that has been happening. Humanity is something that should be innate in us. Love, compassion, and kindness really go a very long way, hence we should often practice it because after all, it costs nothing to be empathetic to other people. Your initiative to help those who are in need most especially now that we are still in the middle of a pandemic is something to be proud of. Indeed, Christmas (for those believers and are practicing this occasion) is the season of giving. Bitcoin together with other cryptocurrencies in the market has given us opportunities to grow, make an income, and learn new skills that we could use in our daily lives. With that being said, it is really heartwarming to pay it forward to the community. Giving back to those who are in need as a sign of gratitude for what bitcoin has done in transforming our lives is such a joyful event that anyone would done for.

It's really the little things. Small donation can go a very long way and could mean a lot for those you have extended helped to. Hopefully, by next year I would be able to share my blessings as well to those less fortunate once the market starts pumping again. Please do continue this good work and may your deeds come back tenfolds.

I totally love the gesture behind this campaign, Christmas is a time really for giving, not just to family and close friends, but also to those who are in need. Many of these people in the slums and the homeless have never experienced any form of love from anyone, it is always good to remind them that there is still some good in the world. I sincerely hope this gesture continues next year in a bigger and better way. As a suggestion, i think the sensitisation about cryptocurrency and the opportunities in it to those who have an interest will go a long way.

I appreciate the philanthropic gesture and your generosity towards others in need. I wish you success and hope you achieve your goal. Good people are hard to find yet here you are. Happy new year Satoprincess

I'm by far impressed with the foundation you guys have started and the zeal you have to see it push through. It is a notable one, one that demonstrates the nature we opt to adopt as humans towards one another. A core pillar of Muslims in a Christain celebration. Giving! It's not always an easy thing to give knowing that, you are most likely to get nothing back but in the real sense, you get everything back.

The singular smiles you put on the faces of those whom receive whatever from you, its one that is provoked out of love, out of the charity you render, out of the puzzles on there heart of how to go through the day and with one unexpected move, you all put there minds at ease. That's is the reward from Giving and you are blessed in these people.

Thank you!

@SatoPrincess, your gesture is highly commendable in all ramifications. To make it a double commendation is the fact that you're even a lady doing all this. I hope more female will come into this crypto space in our country and help push Bitcoin awareness further. Putting the name of this forum on the giveaway pack is good thinking too. I sincerely hope though that the addition of forum to the website bitcointalkforum.org won't mislead anyone to a wrong hand as that site is totally different from our bitcointalk.org site.

Here it is

this is a very good step to feed the homeless where bitcoin does this of course if the price of bitcoin goes up or the price of bitcoin soars in the stock market of course we also want to donate to the homeless with bitcoin assets that we have of course everyone also has the desire to continue to help each other, especially for the homeless who really need a helping hand from all of us, especially like these times

The error has been corrected it was a typo error. I didn't notice the error until I posted. Thank you for your observation maybe when we can organize something of this nature in your city. What do you think?

This is a very good thing, I always say that those people who can help others who need it the most will be blessed, not only the people who do it but their families as well, and if it is through BTC already being a person who is suffering from hunger and can feed it is something that reaches God. I´m sure that people who follow this example will never lack their food and good things in life, sometimes giving away is more enjoyable, I would like to have a lot of money to help others, I really want to one day reach that level .

Hopefully more of this comes true, if the rich won't help us then we will just help each other out, it seems to be the only way for us. I really wanted to help on this kind of cause so I have donated some of my money towards typhoon relief in my country. Good job OP spreading positivity despite all the problems that this world is facing.
