I know that you didn´t request donations. I belive in donations however, and chose to donate, because my upvote counts for almost nothing, and as is quite plain, the people voting for you are mostly poor. 56 votes with some whales in there would be hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. You do have some generous people among the whales and dolphins,but not too many I´m afraid. But as your reputation grows, and your following increases, you will earn more. And you will put the money to good use.
