Sometimes it feels like time shoots by like a rocket. It only seems like yesterday that we had Christmas 2017 and now Santa and his elves are knocking on the door already.
This year has been a roller-coaster for me. I went through a number of life changing moments, serious health issues and irreversible decisions that I would prefer to take back. I managed to go through all this thanks to the support of my amazing husband, family and friends.
I'm telling you all this because I consider YOU being my family and friends too!
Over the last 6 months I have received tremendous support from so many of you and I would like to say THANK YOU for being so kind to me. THANK YOU for all your words of encouragement, for time that you spent reading my posts and for your upvotes. THANK YOU for being here for me.
In order to give back to the community and in the spirit of upcoming Christmas holidays I would like to donate !!! 500 STEEM !!! for a good cause and I would like to do it by way of funding a project for those in need.
And I need your help
Do you know anyone who leads a project supporting people or animals in need? Or do you know about a project that deserve additional funding in your opinion?
PLEASE nominate that leader/project in the comment section below this post.
Tell me some details about the project that you nominate and why you think that exactly this project deserves the donation in no less than 30 and no more than 100 words.
Each one of you can nominate ONE leader/project.
The only rule for you to be able to participate in the nominations is to be honest and follow the Christmas spirit principle.
It is also important that the project or the leader of the project have a Steemit account.
I will check all your nominations and learn about their activities.
I am planning to support one project BUT together we might be able to support more of them!
Do you like the idea and would you like to join me?
Feel free to send me as many STEEM as you want. I will list all donations from you and add them to mine. In the interest of full transparency. I will post a list of all donations next week on Sunday. After that I will contact all of you and agree with you which projects we will support (the decision process depends on how much STEEM will be available for donations). I plan to send STEEM to the project/projects on the 16th of December.
If you like this initiative, please resteem this post so that more Steemians see it and we increase our chance of higher donation amount. I will be grateful for your upvotes as well 😊
Thank you for reading,
Cheers,
Martina

This funding opportunity you’re offering is unbelievably charitable. What a great heart you have for others!
@tarc is my 501c3 U.S.-based animal rescue located in Central Appalachia. This is one of the poorest regions in the nation and instead of support from the community, we often receive hostility. During our five-year run here in Southwest Virginia, we’ve saved the lives of nearly 700 dogs and have influenced the community’s mindset about its treatment of animals. Please consider us for your generous donation! We’ll put it to good use and you can follow our progress through Steemit blog updates.

I would like to support this nomination with two thumbs up. @tarc does amazing work. I have visited the shelter and am so amazed by the number of animals they care for on a very limited budget. It’s a great organization that is involved in activism for the well-being of dogs throughout Applalachia. Thank you for extending your generosity to an animal-related cause.

This is very generous of you @delishtreats.
I wonder if you would consider donating to @adollaraday.
This is a steem based charitable given project that began in May and has so far donated US$4000 to around 20 very worthy projects around the world that have a presence on the steem blockchain.
The project works by inviting steemians to donate 1 SBD per day, for as many days as they want. These donations are then pooled together to make larger daily donations to a range of supported projects around the world.
Projects supported by A Dollar A Day so far include @schoolforsdg4, @thegreens, @bettervision, @gtpjfoodbank, @scholarsph, @walkofhope, @creativestreet, @littledisciples...
I had set a target to donate $5000 by the end of the year but with the recent drop in steem, projections are now that we will fall short by about $300 - $400.
The link in the signature will take you to the October summary report of donations for more information. The November report will be published in the next day or two.
If you would like any more information please contact Pennsif#9921 on Discord.
Thank you.

What an awesome gift for someone! I'd like to nominate a person who likely cannot receive the award. I don't know that he has a steemit account, although I belive that @arbitrarykitten could find a way to get the gift to him.
Anyway, I'd like to nominate Shannon Jay for his work in rescuing animals abandoned during the Paradise, California fire. He has been searching through the destroyed town and coaxing frightened, burnt animals into his arms. He feeds them and gets them the care they need, then he helps them find their people. It is noble, thankless work for the most part, and I'd love to see him be rewarded for his efforts.
Ok, so there it is. All 72 words of it in between the lines. :-)

Thank you for your nomination, Jen! It's been accepted. In case that the donation would be sent to him, we would find a way.
This man definitely deserves some rewards for his effort. I love what he is doing as those poor animals must be frightened, hurt and they can't help themselves so there is no reason why he couldn't receive this award :)

This is a beautiful initiative! You are truly a blessing @martina <3
Shannon is not on Steemit (yet- however I introduced him to the platform and if I have my way he will be a wonderful addition to the community in the very near future when things slow down!) 😁
I operate a rescue home for severely burned and abused cats and kittens, and although I'm stationed in WA state and Shannon in CA, we will be figuring out a way to combine our labors of love- forces joined equal great power! I have several other home rescues combining resources and networking for a project that will be educating high schoolers on fostering abused and discarded pets (possibly granting them school credits as well) and Shannon's unique perspective, combined with his in depth field perfected lost-cat finding techniques make him a treasured commodity for the project!
He's a humble and amazing soul- if you get a chance drop him a message on Facebook (I put the link to his page in the Fire Cat Rescue post) and say hi!
Shannon Jay definitely deserves @mattifer s nomination, and I second it!
Thank you so much for offering this generous blessing! I hope this Christmas season is full of wonder and beauty for you and yours 🌟. Be Blessed.

Thank you for your contribution. You are operating some great projects! It must be very difficult to see all those hurt cats and kittens and I can imagine it must take a lot of time for them to gain trust in you. I also like your project about educating high schoolers. It is so important to teach children to be compassionate and I'm happy to hear that you will be working on that.
With my husband we support projects helping animals in different countries around the globe as many people often forget that they need our help too.
Thank you for confirming Jen's nomination! Can you please send me the link to your post so that I know exactly which one I should check to get his Facebook account?
Have a nice day!

You're welcome. I just checked out his facebook page. It looks like the powers that be are trying to stop people like him from doing his good work. I don't know why it happens like that here, but it seems as though after every disaster our government steps in and tries to stop private individuals from doing their own good deeds. It's strange. I'm sure he won't quit though. :-)
I was in a similar situation doing disaster relief after a major hurricane. I was part of a free kitchen that was serving over 1,000 meals each day for free. We met all the health code standards for food safety, but the government kept trying to chase us out and shut us down. I guess they make lots of money off doing this themselves, and they don't like to see people making it work without them. Grrr.....

Couldn't it be for the safety reasons? I'm not sure how it looks like there but I can imagine that he needs to crawl under different items, or enter some unstable objects to save them? I don't know.. I'm not on the government side, just trying to understand why this is happening :)
That sounds so unfair! Sometimes I feel like governments don't like to support their own people. If they make money doing it themselves, it's ok. But the problem is that they mainly don't do it at all :)

Hi..thank you for this initiative.
Can i nominate @creativestreet? Although this is a new account, this group have been very active since last year in giving art lessons to the street kids in Manila and Tagaytay where Gini (@aalagenesis) resides. She heads this group and joining them in one of their event last May, i must say that her group is very passionate in what they do. Throw in some feeding and art materials as gifts when funds allow, all art materials were funded from donations and fundraising efforts, including sales of Gini's artworks. Sharing her talent and passion to those who are less fortunate kids is touching and remarkable.
Kudos to us all. Enjoy the coming holiday season!

The tag has been pretty quiet lately. OHA is basically a random acts of kindness project that many people participate in (and yes, it was started by the awesome @lyndsaybowes). So if you wanted to fund ops, we might use it for a variety of things; supplies to leave messages of love for people to find, feeding homeless people, etc. It tends to be domino-like, when a handful of people get posts out, it inspires more, and then we're rolling. Last year it was hopping every week! Lately though it's been more sporadic - partially because a bunch of the participants stopped being active on Steemit at all. But I still chalk or litterwalk some, @davedickeyyall still gives random acts of cannabis and recently bought a woman a PLANE TICKET so she could make it home for a funeral, etc.

Edit: Hmmm I thought about donating those 500 STEEM to @cleanplanet. But I just realized that for them it wouldn't make such a big difference compared to other tiny projects people are suggesting here. Sooo yeah. I guess I'm withdrawing my suggestion from the pool right away. Maybe if my vote would be considered, I'm familiar with @adollaraday project and they're doing amazing job and are very transparent about it. Sooo my suggestion goes for @adollaraday :)

As for the charity, well, I don't have one in mind in terms of Steemit as I'm still learning about just how vast this platform is with all the different projects. Outside of this, there are a few charities that spring to mind - Alzheimer's Society, Mind, The Stroke Association and Cancer Research - which are all conditions that have affected me or my family in the past.

I would like to nominate @scholarsph for their great initiative and effort in sending less privileged youth to school. It is a project being run by @tagalogtrail. They started in August and already have the 7th scholar which tells me the project is really focused on sending more and more less privileged but deserving students to have a better future.

That is an amazing gesture. I would love to nominate @drutter's campaign to buy a water pump for a Venezuelan steemian named @victorgonzales. There are many worthy causes but this one would provide water security for a family and the surrounding community..

Even though there is a rule of at least 30 words for describing why you believe that the project deserve the donation I would accept your nomination as there is not much to say about this particular cause.
But when I click on the account I get a message that the page doesn't exist. Can you check it?

I nominate someone who is not on Steemit, but deserves all the help this community can offer.
His name is Ramses, and he is 9 years old. He was diagnosed with leukemia early this summer.
I was lucky to meet this little angel recently. I decided to do a documentary project about him, and after a few visits I fell in love.
Ramses lives with his family in a poor and dangerous neighbourhood in Caracas - sadly, his father was killed by a stray bullet here when Ramses was only two. He has a little 4 year old brother, a beautiful mother and an awesome step-dad who love him.
In May he started feeling weak, with high fevers. His mom, taking him to several hospitals, was told he had hepatitis. Ramses and his family had no idea how their lives were about to change.
There were 10 other kids in his situation when he started chemotherapy. Since then, 8 of them have already died. Having leukemia is awful anywhere, but is worse in Venezuela today, where medicines are expensive and hard to find, even if you aren't as poor as Ramses' family, who are sacrificing everything they can to see that he gets the treatment he needs (even taking his younger brother out of school to save money). They were able to afford the first 3 months of his chemo with the help of a foundation that donated his treatment, and he is receiving a small dose of chemotherapy once a week (though the past 2 weeks he has been too weak to receive the treatment due to low blood values).
This family eats only once a day, and it breaks my heart because a 9 year old kid undergoing such a strong treatment needs food to be healthy enough to overcome all the side effects of the chemo.
I visit 3 to 4 times a week, taking them food, toys, medicines and tons of hugs and play time. Trust me, if I had the money I would give it without hesitating. The pills he needs in order to start treatment in January are about $600 (inflation in Venezuela changes the prices daily). I was sitting at my computer thinking of ways to help him when I came across your post.
If you choose to support Ramses, I would change the Steem to bolivares and have it transferred directly to his mom's account (I have photos of his prescriptions and receipts if you need them). Needless to say, any help you can offer will mean the world to this family.
P.S: Sorry I went over 100 words. I've been planning to make a blog post for him but was waiting for the creation of their Gofundme, so I thought it best to give you more

YEAH SUPER RAMSES!
I second this nomination. Gaby has told me about this kid and I've been following him on Instagram. It's so sad to see anyone so young battling cancer, but he seems to have a great attitude through it all and I wish I could do more to support his fight.
Hey, @delishtreats, what you're doing here is purposeful and inspiring and I thank you! This post is a wonderful example of the great things that can come out of the community built around Steem. Love it. Again, thank you.

I have lived in a semi rural area of Australia which was blessed with rain during a drought time and what you would see were the lucky cows that had been transported across the country being slowly led up the quieter roads so that they could eat the grass. Seeing these half starved creatures really brought it home to me that our lucky country sometimes needs that extra effort to keep it lucky. Hayrunners is to provide the money for hay and fuel for volunteers to truck it into the driest areas where it is desperately needed.

This is really sweet of you @delishtreats.
I wish to nominate @ecodesigns of @thegreens. @ecodesigns is a textile recycling and fashion designing hub of The Greens, located in Bamenda, Cameroon that is currently training 13 young girls for free in textile recycling and fashion designing. Besides textile recycling and fashion designing, the hub is also engaged in the collection and distribution of clothes for free to orphans and vulnerable children, prisoners and underpriviledged persons.
@ecodesigns' principal challenge is the lack of machines to effectively train her women and girls and such a donation will greatly assist in the purchase of more machines to continue to train more women and girls for free in textile recycling and fashion designing hence curb female youth unemployment, reduce inequalities, improve the health and wellbeing of poor people and end textile waste pollution.

You know where I would suggest. @pifc All the work that goes into it to help others, try to keep them motivated and supporting each other and the community.
Things have gone downhill greatly since HF20. Where commenting and engagement is everything, the witnesses turned the tables to where you're limited on interaction. I still feel strongly that interaction and engagement are everything. You know that the features of the winner gain SBI, besides the winner. It's the only way to keep the new plankton a float.

I support a Christian School in Kisii, Kenya; that helps AIDS Orphans with education, and food. The Man that runs it I talked into opening a steemit account right before the hard fork. Zephanni school in Kisii is an elementary school that has about a third of their student, who are Orphans! They are a poor school, but they are educating those that Kenya has written off, and left them to die. I send them hard cash every month, and they use it with great care!
Here is a post he made of the students at his school:

They are the front lines, I have sent them money for years, and they are VERY stingy with it! I sent them ten tablets a couple of years ago, and they set up a computer lab with them!
They have the only elementary school with a computer lab! If he did not pull in so many Orphans, he would be making money, but he is always close to the financial edge, because every time he get a nickel to rub against a dime, he goes out, and rescues another Orphan.
This is truly GOD's front line, and life and death for these kids! I will continue to send them money, and he will keep feeding and educating them!
Thanks for the reply! I was hoping to send the monthly money by way of steem dollars, but things are a little volatile right now.

These kids are so adorable! Thank you for sending me the photo! I see that you are passionate about this project and I understand why! He has a great impact on their lives and he absolutely deserve some support! Is this guy local or is he taking part in a bigger international project?
With my husband we support a project in Uganda for many years already. They do similar activities like the project that you nominated. There were rebels in Uganda who killed many people and too many kids became orphans overnight. This project provides them with a shelter and schooling as well. Recently they even supported two kids with their university expenses. We send money directly to them and we receive kind of a magazine on a quarterly basis showing what they've done with our donation.
There are so many good people in the world. It always warms my heart to hear about this kind of projects :)

He is local, and has very little help. I do what I can, but they are always running close! In Kenya, orphans are written off, because statistically, they will starve anyway, so they do not waste their limited education money on them.
This MAN Has a Godly Heart, and named the school after his Father, who bought this land to build a school! He has done this to honor his Father; and to please his Heavenly Father! I feel Honored to be a part of it! He has Never asked me for money, but GOD told me to send it!

I didn't know it was so bad in Kenya. I knew there were issues as I was working with Kenyans but I didn't know it was so bad in regards to education.
It's amazing how those people do so much to help others even though they don't have much themselves. So many people from developed countries should learn from them..

When she was 6, I found her picture, and she so obviously did NOT want her picture taken! My Wife doesn't like her picture taken either, so she was a Kindred spirit. We started to support her that day, and she is 19 now.
Kenya has real problems right now in money for education. They took the hard stand that excluded Orphans, which is appalling! They are also having problems with tribal to tribal violence.
They are good people in Kenya, for certain! I like their work ethic.
He certainly has a burden for orphans! He is literally keeping them alive. He arranged with his church to feed them on the weekends, so they get one meal a day, every day!

That is now a long time that you support her. Have you ever met her? It's great what you're doing :)
I find it very difficult to understand why Orphans should be discriminated (That is the best word that I know for this but I'm not sure if it's correct in this content). They are those who should be helped. They don't have parents to take care of them so other people should do it. Kids are not to blame for losing their parents. The world is sometimes such a bad place to be..
What a good heart he has! One meal doesn't sound like a lot but it's better than nothing and I'm sure they are very happy with that :)

I'm going to nominate two projects (well, the third @pifc has enough nominations here already!).
@ifc (The Information Finding Championship) is a project by @apolymask and was one of my first communities here on Steem. It is a long running competition that encourages community and provides a weekly hook (which can range from "music", "treasure hunts" to "Philsophy" or "Conspiracies") for posting an entry. It has no specific focus on post genre, so entries can take whatever form that suits you, and it can take whatever angle you wish on the creative "hook". It is something that has gotten my writing up, and there have been a number of @curie votes that have come from the entries!
You can read an in-depth overview here:
https://steemit.com/curiecommunitybuilding/@ifc/application-for-curie-community-support
The second project that I would nominate is my own project:
@classical-radio is a support account to the @classical-music (started by @remlaps and @cmp2020) to help support posters that post in the #classical-music tag. We also try to support folk and jazz music. We have slowly been building up strength through power-up and delegations, but we are quite small. We return 70% of the liquid rewards to featured posters (10% to @bengy for writing and domain upkeep, 20% for account maintenance and growth).
Classical-music (and Jazz and folk) are pretty niche interests on Steem, and like all sectors of Steem, we have seen a significant downturn from the beginning of the year. However, for Steem to succeed, we will need to support and cater to as many varieties of interest as possible! I have chosen to focus my attention on the #classical-music side of things, as it is an area that is otherwise sorely neglected, and as it is the area of my expertise!
Thanks for running this opportunity!

Cool! And sure. What I'd like to add is.. What we would do with the donation. If we somehow get picked we will put it all back into the community.
I noticed you mentioned something about helping animals and I looked at your page and saw a vegan post so I'm guessing you're vegan? I am as well. If we get the donation what we'll do is put it towards vegan quests in our contest, or half and half.. Half towards human and half towards vegan. But.. I wanted to do a quest about vegan food and the community seemed very supportive. If we had a bigger prize for that, I think it would be even more helpful!
Thanks for your consideration. :) And also thanks for your generosity. That's awesome of you to give back to the community like that! I'm sure whoever gets it will be very happy.

yes Ma'am it's a tremendous initiative! To me "holy moly" just means a shocking fact. Astonishment. In this case a very pleasant one! lol. God bless you!

Have considered charity:water? They are among my favourite charities that I'm donating to each month.

I'm the leader of no project, but I am interested in getting steem moving through real selling...
https://steemit.com/blog/@lucylin/here-s-a-thought-some-positive-action-is-needed-on-steemit
I've been in sales all my life, (mostly retired from that), and didn't really want to get back into organizing things in the sales world again - but seeing steemit dying is killing me, when I see potential to grow with recruiting quality users, I can't no offer my input.
Give me the dosh, and I'll stop posting, and commit to organizing a real sales push, and talk to the technical side to get my idea rolling.
Nothing fancy, just lot's of hard work and grinding sales..

Thank you for your comment. I will be honest with you.. I don't think that this should be supported by this kind of donation as what you are trying to do is a business initiative and my donation is aimed to support a charity cause/leader/project. I understand that you are trying to support Steemit but this isn't really supporting people/animals in need and should be financed by other projects aimed at this kind of activities.
Have a good day!

Cheers, but it's not my idea...you'll find it in every 'basics of business' written in the last 120 years...
(but techy geeks are way too clever to bother with such old ideas...)
If I get the support I'll do it, and organize a sales team - but not because I want to.
I now only have one 'real' business nowadays - and it only requires 6 hours a week attention, to maintain my small needs in life.
I consciously 'got out' of the business of selling,(after much success for 3 decades) and had no intention of ever get back in it.
But seeing steemit and the state of it and the mindset (or lack of) of people here, concerning commercial progress, kills me.
So I'll do it, but I can't play at doing it.
Which means that I'm setting myself up for the next 6 months, of 15 hours a day, 7 days a week full on work.
work, a verb that people in steemit do not seem to have in their vocabulary.
lol

Hey, @delishtreats, I would like to nominate @randomkindness if that is a valid cause, they are currently fundraising $200 for Mamanwa Tribe, you can see their latest post here: https://steemit.com/@randomkindness/steem-for-a-cause-charity-lottery-game-or-draw-013
As you see it is to fundraise $200, so this could easily help out multiple causes!
Why?

Okay, in the Christmas spirit I think my friends over at @foodfightfriday deserve a little outside help. The competition is a food one, that takes place every Friday. Any Steemit user, new or whale, can post anything food related, recipes, pictures of fancy restaurant plates, farmers market hauls, etc. , and we all vote for who we like the best. The winner receives 2 SBD and a people’s champ belt gif. The neat thing is this competition brings a lot of great people together and it’s been a little rocky keeping it going.
So my nomination is to @foodfightfriday, ran by @jlsplatts, @weirdheadaches and @dandays. Thanks for ringing in the Christmas spirit with all of us @delishtreats :)

Hey! I know of a bunch of organizations that could use some support but unfortunately none of them have a Steemit that I know of. Maybe this is a good jumping off point to encourage them to create one. I will reach out to some of my friends and see what I can make happen-- if they don't want to put in the effort I'll just create it for them instead! Cheers!
