I had written an article about helping hurricane victims about 3 months ago.
In that article I had promised to make a donation to the victims once I had enough SBD in my Steemit account (but I never did).
Then life happened! I stepped away form Steemit for about 2 months, but now I am back.
I feel strongly that I need to be a man of my word. It is time for me to give back, like I promised to do!
The original promise was for 11.5 SBD. Since I do not have SBD, I have make my donation in Steem.
- I will be giving 40 Steem to a community initiative that is investing in the lives of other people.
- And I will give 5 Steem to the person(s) whose recommendation is selected.
I need your help finding a good cause to give to!
Will you help me find a good cause on Steemit that could use more Steem?
I am looking for an initiative/Steemit account that invests in the lives of others. This could include:
- education
- social awareness
- meeting physical needs
- helping people who are impacted by natural disasters
- helping abuse victims
- and the list goes on
I realize that there are many needs in the Steemit community. Although there are many personal needs, I will not consider personal requests.
I want to give to an established, proven community initiative/Steemit account that is broadly helping members of our community.
How to make a suggestion
If you what to make a suggestion, please include the following information:
- The name of the initiative or Steemit account you are recommending
- What service this initiative or account provides to the Steemit community
- A story about how someone was personally impacted by the suggested initiative
How will the initiative be chosen?
- Any suggestion submitted in the comment section of this post will be considered.
- Suggestions can be submitted until payout is made for this post.
- I will make a decision, at my sole discretion, regarding which initiative receives the 40 Steem.
- The person(s) whose suggestion is selected will receive 5 Steem.
- If the chosen initiative is suggested by two or more people, I reserve the right to give the 5 Steem to the best comment or divide 5 Steem among multiple people.
Thanks for helping me give back. I am sorry that it has taken so long to fulfill my promise!

It being the holiday Season. I would suggest giving it to a foundation that can provide for the homeless. (Shelter, food, water, etc) I recently did a post on helping others and I believe this fits right in. I don't want the steem, just do what is right in your heart. I am commenting to simply give you a suggestion. I can tell you personally in the area I live I see plenty of homeless holding cardboard signs hoping someone will extend a loving heart and hand to them. Every little bit helps. Thank you.

It was not my intention to use the photo for personal agenda, but I see how it looked that way.
Again I am sorry.

I've never in my life seen so many generous people in one place. Steemians like you, and so many others, are helping to restore my faith in humanity.
