SPL-CHARITY BONUS-HELP FEED VENEZUELA! BIG OPPORTUNITY
So, I came across an article yesterday regarding the lack of food in Venezuela and the terrible situation the country is facing. Being a father of 3 children this hit home for me, trying to imagine not being able to provide the basic food necessities to my kids. . .
Venezuela’s economy is so bad, parents are leaving their children at orphanages
Poverty and hunger rates are soaring as Venezuela’s economic crisis leaves store shelves empty of food, medicine, diapers and baby formula. Some parents can no longer bear it. They are doing the unthinkable. Giving up their children.“People can’t find food,” Salazar told me. “They can’t feed their children. They are giving them up not because they don’t love them but because they do.”

Brother this is just great! Really, I have no words; It's really amazing to see how Steemit can change lives for real. The world needs more actions like this one! I'm gonna prepare something nice for next week and this help will come pretty much in handy! Thanks again bro!
@jonsnow1983 how are incoming packages? Are you able to receive mail unmolested by the government?
Pretty much difficult nowadays mate! Especially if you're sending medicines. At least they haven't messed up with crypto hence some people have managed to protect their money.
I was thinking more of sending baby food.
Just got some sbds so I'm in. This is a great idea @rawdawg. Another reason @spl is the best community on steemit.
I'm in.
this is great, hope it's a success
It's a Humanitarian Crisis, Great to see posts like this
b.a.
Yep, the article broke my heart. . And I have a pretty cold heart. :)
Is there something like steem people playing poker?
I used to play high stakes at PS back in the day, wouldn't mind to play for SBD. Does something like that exists? I'm a newbie here. Cheers.

I am in, sending 1chip via SPL
ok, just DM him and let him know that you sent a chip. Thanks.
Great idea rawdawg and thanks for hosting this. If I get enough SBD in my account in time I'll be in.
My teammate @angelgarz is also from Venezuela he told me the little he does make on Steemit goes a long way but the government is trying to crackdown on cryptos especially miners.
Im in.
