Hey! Bless you for doing this! I will make sure @sircork sees this, but I want to make you aware of the situation he is in, as far as I know. There are people in Venezuela trying to get basic needs met for entire communities, and now this plea for help for a desperate island: https://steemit.com/youarehope/@takeru255/epidemy-of-blastocytis-hominis-in-la-isla-de-coche-because-of-water-supplies-metronidazol-is-needed
There is very little coming in to YouAreHOPE by comparison to the requests for help, so please understand if YAH cannot chip in on this. UV and resteemed for you anyway!
I understand, thank you for helping nonetheless.
Seen, and she's right, we're currently contributing toward rebuilding crumbling school roofs and in another place, helping with providing medicine and malaria prevention and health treatment for entire villages. Meanwhile, many smaller efforts to give food to the desperately hungry continue, and we have to do it on the equivalent of pennies from minnows, since other things are a better investment for whales than charity work seems to be.
I used to live near deerfield beach for about a decade, around ten or fifteen miles south of it. There is some tough poverty up around there I will grant you, but these kids remain 100X better off than what we are trying to manage around the world with extremely limited resources.
Good luck with your mission. $5000 usd is about what we've received and spent touching thousands of lives on several continents across a dozen countries over 6 months. I can't even imagine raising that in one round here.
As you requested, I wrote a post laying out our plan and various ways to support. You told me my project would likely receive some sort of support, but to keep in mind other projects with more server need would likely receive more support. To my understanding requesting funds had to be made via a post. There are various levels to support, so any support would be great.
