Yes Ma'am I'm a little surprised at the low turn out so far. Almost everyone I know on here are struggling though with not much to donate. I need rich friends about now!

@delishtreats,
This is a wonderful Christmas initiative. I hope some damned whales throw some support your way. I'd Sponsor you but I'm running a pretty big Contest at the moment myself.
Great job.

Love this idea. It would be awesome if all the causes could be funded...how do you pick just one?

I don't know yet to be honest. It depends if there will be more donations from other Steemians too. But I will definitely check each project and see what they are doing. This will help me to decide too..
I wish I could support all of them...

Me too! It's also quite heartwarming to see how many people are invested in good causes. If you do this again next year, I may have to nominate my own non-profit! Matthew and I have a fledgling nonprofit called The FairCosa Foundation which aims to help people reentering society. We're starting with men recently released from prison. We will help them with housing and job training and placement. I'm pretty excited about it, but it's still in its baby stages right now. :-)

That is such a great news! I'm so happy to hear that you're doing something like that yourself! And this is a very good cause. These people are left alone completely and I guess that very often they end up in prison again so it's great that you're going to 'take care' of them :) Good luck and I hope to be able to do such donation next year ;)

Yeah, the recidivism rate is very high in the US, especially compared to other countries. You are right - folks get out of prison and are expected to magically transition back into society. It's so much more difficult than most people realize, so we want to remove the barriers to their success. :-)

Have u actually thought about dividing the donation pool among several projects ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes, I did but the price in USD would be very low with current price of Steem. I would probably consider it if there would be more donations. I would like to make a difference for someone with this donation.. I will see how it goes and decide on Sunday (it also depends on which project/projects I would choose)..

You are very welcome! I know all the little bits add up to make a big difference all together. Which reminds me I need to go support a wonderful little 8-year-old's donation page, as well. A former client of mine has a daughter who not only donated her hair to Locks of Love on her 8th birthday, but she's also raising money for a charity in lieu of birthday gifts, as well. It makes my heart swell to know this little lady who I know will do good things in life. ❤

How adorable! We should get inspired by what such kids are doing. She has a good heart and I hope that she will continue doing such things even when she grows older :)
