Introducing Project Streetheart
ย
So I had this very simple question: Could we use Steem to help homeless people?
Immediately when I thought of the question, I also knew the answer: YES!
Now there are many ways to do this and I hope that others will explorer different ideas or do something similar in other cities...
The most simple way I came up with is to use the payouts from the #Streetheart posts and directly give them to the people on the streets.
100% of the SBD raised in a Streetheart post will be used for this purpose

How will this exactly work?
The first post is to test the waters: Does the Steemit community like this idea?
ย
If so, then the next point to consider is how to put the SBD into people's hands who don't have a steem account...
I am proposing two ideas:
- Either I will make a fund into which the payouts will go into until we get ~10 SBD together (this is the minimum amount that I need to withdraw cryptos into my bank account)
OR - I will convert the SBD payout from the posts directly into โฌ on that specific day and distribute the equivalent Euros into people's hands from my own pocket (obviously this is riskier for me as the price of SBD varies)
I would like the community to help me consider these points. What do you think is better?

Keeping the Community Updated
ย
Should the project #Streetheart become a success, I will keep the community updated and share pictures of the people that you helped!
I hope that you like the idea and I would gladly appreciate your support!
Good idea. I just followed you I'm curious to see your updates
Danke dir :))
I join your good work. It is a pity that my voice gives very little money so far. When I meet in the streets of poor people who ask for money, I can not pass by, although I know that some of them are going to deceive. But I am convinced that when you have the opportunity, people need help.
Thank you @marymik23! Yes, its a bit of a social experiment with good intentions :) Let's see what happens !
