Danny Sessoms and The Crypto Show


Some of you are aware that this idea was inspired by the work of Danny Sessoms of The Crypto Show who raised $50,000 USD worth of cryptocurrency in 24 hours for Harvey relief efforts. I had been in contact with him since Wednesday, 8/30/2017. We finally got to settle down and talk for a bit. After a brief liberty-minded conversation, we started to discuss our relief efforts and how we could utilize crypto to help people immediately. The end result is that we have decided to partner up our efforts and expand our network of influence. There are shelters in Austin and Dallas where the people aren't receiving as much assistance as the people sheltered in the impact zone. In Houston, the Jewish community has a shortage of kosher foods and the Muslim community has a shortage of halal foods. Everybody is being helped, thanks to the crypto movement. This new partnership expands our reach and adds a layer of accountability. Let's keep it crypto.

@HarveyReliefFund Discord Channel



We called to check up on @hammockhouse who caught the tail end of the storm in Port Arthur, Tx. It turned out that they took on water in their home but didn't assume significant damage. I told them about the efforts of the @HarveyReleifFund and they suggested also helping steemians that has truly been affected by the hurricane. @HarveyReleifFund has created a discord channel to allow steemains to reach out to us directly. If you have been directly or personally affected by the storm, we would like to document your story on steemit and all SBD will be donated to that user. There is also a section for post-promotions related to hurricane harvey stories. We also took the liberty of adding a section for the sharing of practical information such as, dealing with landlords, safety/cleanup, acquiring federal and non-federal assistance etc.. Any and all helpful information is needed, original steemit content is encouraged.

Contingency Plans


This section is important for clarity. @VirtualGrowth encouraged me to be as clear as possible when accepting donations and @MrWang pointed out that Rockport isn't accepting anymore material donations. That made me think that we must have contingency plans in place. We are driving to Port Arthur, TX tomorrow to cook hot meals for the people in the shelters and assist with the removal of heavy waste. Partnering with Danny Sessoms opens doors for more opportunities to help. The use of the funds are NOT FLUID. We will be helping people directly impacted by hurricane Harvey whether they are in Rockport, TX or Lake Charles, LA and it will be documented on steemit.

A special thanks for the unwavering support in no particular order

Hey there Steemians, sorry that we are so late checking in with this thread. As you might imagine, we haven't had much "free time" to SLEEP; much less spend time online!

As @harveyrelifefund (@xtraordinarypilot) said, WE personally had minimal damage to our home. A minor-miracle considering that this area received 3 times the ANNUAL rainfall total in less than a WEEK! But 10,000s around us were not so lucky, including several in our family.

Every waking hour for the last two weeks (or is it three?, I haven't slept) has been used WORKING! Filling sandbags, manning drain pumps, boat rescues, truck rescues, moving people to-and-from shelters, cooking for 100s daily, towing flooded cars of the road, carpet tear outs, sheetrock tear outs,animal rescues, animal relocation (read snakes/gators), MOLD treatments. . . (deep breath)

But, the "real" work has just really just begun.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the continued support.

Great men. Keep doing it

Am new to Steem, but will donate when I have something to donate...this is a great idea!

As an emergency management professional, can I suggest that you make your donations using cash instead of material? Many organizations have established purchasing partnerships that can double, triple, or quadruple the buying power of your dollar. Sending cash instead of things also means that volunteer efforts can go directly to helping out those who are impacted instead of trying to sort, catalogue, store, and distribute supplies that may or may not be needed.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the sound advice.

follow me bro ♥

Alright! I've been thinking about getting connected with him. Well done, man!

We will be able to when this all slows down. I'll be back in Austin next week and we can all sit down.

Alright, Sounds Great!

  1. Good post!

buena informacion buen post

Amazing how you can help people. Thanks for the video about updates !

Okkk, great tough

I found out one of my coworkers lost everything in the hurricane. We worked together in Florida and he moved to Texas about 4 years ago. He had just purchased a new home a month before the hurricane hit and had no flood insurance. I feel so bad.

That's very unfortunate, is he on steemit?

No. I don't even think he has a computer now.

"There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others"

I dont have anything to contribute. :(
im new into this crypocurrency thing.
But i will resteem and share this to my friends and colleagues.
More power to you guys!

Thank you! Many say that they "don't have anything to give", but spreading the word is VERY necessary work. We on the "front lines" have tunnel-vision focused on immediate needs, its Steemians like you that will spread the word throughout and outside of the platform.

Please forward, share, tweet, send smoke signals to everyone that 10,000s of people need help saving their homes so they can get their lives back together.

Nice post tho

I have followed you on Steemit, please be kind enough to follow me as well.

Thanks for doing this! I'm in Houston and didn't get water in my home so all my free time has been helping where I can. We need all the help we can get, all around the state of Texas. Let's keep our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean and Florida in our prayers because of Irma.

Amen! Please spread the word throughout the country that we need volunteers to tear-out houses from Texas all the way to Florida! Money (cypto) is good, but hands and feet are best. We have all of the equipment, training, beds and showers to take care of the out-of-town volunteers that take care of our neighbors.

Yes, the by-product of a disaster is community. 😀

Good post!
Thanks for sharing useful information.
Worth following & upvotes for sure!
Please follow me if you can ;)

Interesante video, muy buen post felicitaciones
