HELP Token First Announcement! Helping to Eliminate Lifelong Poverty!
As we all know, homelessness is a serious problem in America. It becomes very easy to just look the other way when confronted with the problem especially in the light of all the other problems in this country. I think the time has come to put and end to needless human suffering. We should be able to engineer a solution for this problem using a series of steps and new ideas combined with tried and true methods.
People have often tried to fight this problem of homelessness. We provide shelter and food for the needy but are we really making a difference in their lives day to day? I know that the current system is broken and needs to be fixed. We can make a difference in this world and we have been given the gifts to do so. The people in power, well, they have not yet proposed a solution.
I have come up with one through the use of a novel cryptocurrency called the "H.E.L.P." Token or HELP (for the trading ticker).
H.E.L.P. stands for Helping to Eliminate Lifelong Poverty and the project basically consists of a multi-prong approach to battling homelessness in America.
The token would be used for fund raising to develop more modernized homeless shelters where we would provide more than just a bed and hot meal for people. They would provide employment, education, drug and alcohol counseling, as well as life-long housing and shelter. The idea is to hire from within and offer jobs to the very same people that we are helping.
Anyone that sets foot in the door would be allowed a free gift of HELP tokens in order to buy certain goods and services around the facility. Rather than giving them actual cash, which could be then used for drugs, alcohol, or gambling you would provide them with tokens that would be usable in only unique ways. Certainly there are flaws to this system but it would tremendously lower the chances for someone to abuse the hand-outs and simply cash them in for their vices.
Homelessness has become a very difficult problem to combat. The biggest hurdle is that once people are at that point in their lives it's very hard to recover. It becomes almost impossible to find employment when you have no address to write down on the application. When you have no income you can't pay basic bills like your cell phone and then you lose touch with anyone who could actually help you. Your direct contacts become your support and often times those people could be just as troubled. Food, shelter and water are all things that we take for granted in our privileged society. Let's make those things accessible to everyone, not just the ones who were born lucky enough to avoid living in poverty!
As a society we need to do more to eliminate homelessness in America and I think we have finally developed the tools and the technology to do so. The only thing left is the willpower to make it happen!
If you know about cryptocurrency or would like to help me to turn this dream project into a reality contact me at [email protected] or reply to this in the form of a comment. We can make a difference as a community using the tools and knowledge we put together! :-D
This is my first post about this idea and I need help to make it happen. If you know about creating Ethereum based ERC-20 tokens please let me know I will definitely need a few helping hands :)

Nice post. @hotsauceislethal
Thats a great idea to remove poverty , raising fund and distribute among Poors. But it's a charity or any profit out there from buying and holding the token. Thanks for sharing.
