About two years ago an idea to impact lives with steem through charity and healthcare was conceived and through this idea today we have bettervision eye care group who have impacted so many lives over the years with the help of crowfunding and the steemit blockchain.
Whenever we write or share our story and our journey anyway many are wowed by our deeds and our hardwork, by how far we have come and the fact that we remain relententless and seek to get to the zenith of our deeds in everything we do for humanity and for the deprived.
But it was not an easy journey, the path forged was through hard work and in all we alway took it one step at a time whiles letting steemit lead the way. Many bloggers on the blockchain are not patient enough to wait and see their dreams, ideas and aspirations come into fruition.
They tend to give quite early, perhaps so early or too early that they miss out on many great opportunities that could have defined many points in their lives. Today our message for the our colleagues, friends, supporters and loved ones on the blockchain is that.
To all who continue to be with us through all our activities @the-gorilla, @pennsif, @adollaraday, @stephenkendal etc. We appreciate you and we do hope you continue to be with us. Thanks once again and have a wonderful time.
Surely, we should let steem lead the way.

Hi @bettervision - we continue to be impressed by the work that you do to help those that can't afford eye care for themselves. The #wox-helpfund team would like to do something to help with this initiative and supporting the users that you have brought to the platform.
What would be the best way that we can support the work that you're doing?

Hello @the-gorilla,
It is a pleasure to hear this and we will certainly be honored to receive your support.
In the past few years we got our support from fundition and @adollaraday and recently from @steemcurator01 support whenever we went on outreach expeditions.
As it stands now our goal is to not only help people though free healthcare and service delivery but also to bring people on to the blockchain especially those from deprive communities who could read and write.
The only headache we tend to face from time to time is funding for our expeditions and the free service such as medications and spectacles we give out which to tend slow us down sometimes.
We believe the ideas lies with you best however for the problems that persist is what was just mentioned. Perhaps if we could find a way to keep consistent support coming up especially for these activities then we could do more.
We would be please to know your feedback and your thoughts on this too. Thank you

Thanks for the detailed reply - it's a difficult one to know how to approach... I like the idea of supporting one of your invents in some way - How much (in Steem) does it tend to cost to run one of those?

Hello Sir @the-gorilla,
thanks for your feedback once again, averagely holding an outreach expedition tend to cost somewhere between 400 to 600 steem at current price.
With all things been equal we get to share some eye drops and reader glasses. Most of our volunteers do not charge to work with us as they are part of the team and a group of friends who came together to get the initiative done.
However, we do well to get some food for them as it is difficult working on an empty stomach, either way with some support from the blockchain we would be able to hold these expeditions at more regular intervals much like when we had support from fundition and adollaraday.
We would be pleased and privileged to receive any kind of support you can give and if you want to know our track record too you may check us out on fundition.io as we account for every activity we did and instrument we procured with the help of crowdfunding.
Thanks once again.

Great, thank you. I've discussed the opportunity to support the work that you do with the #wox-helpfund team (@xpilar, @adeljose, @sultan-aceh and @the100) and we'd like to support this with a contribution of 600 Steem.
Although we can't commit to a regular contribution at this time, we'll follow your work with keen interest in the hope of continuing to support you in the future 👍
I'd be very interested in seeing more detail via fundition.io - do you have a link that will take me directly to your page?

Hello @the-gorilla,
This is great new for the whole bettervision team and we are truly grateful for this effort to support. We do understand that these are not normal time and thus we are grateful for the little you can support us and in your own times.
Please here is the link for fundition;
https://fundition.io/#!/@bettervision/ybby7ynsy
We have run two main support schemes with @fundition under the guidance of @pennsif who was our liason, currently it looks like the platform has been refreshed and the news column which was support to house all our activities from 3 years back cannot be found when we check.
However, if it will be ok with you we can do a manual compilation for you for most of the major outreaches we underwent if not all so you could evaluate and give us a feed. Please let us know if this is ok with you.
Thanks you once again and many thanks to the #wox-helfund team.

Hi @bettervision, I don't want to create extra work for you so please only compile your major events if it's something you'd like to do anyway. I have upmost trust in what you are doing, especially in the knowledge that @pennsif continues to support and guide you.
I look forward in continuing to follow and support you and your work in the future 👍
