Topic: Bitcoin as a medium for donations (Read 2229 times)

- New update -

Due to a generous support from a user / rental member from the German-speaking area of this platform, we were able to buy the so-called rescue vehicle for babies and toddlers.
His support was so great that we were able to buy the vehicle, refurbish it, fully equip it and still have enough for some medicines for this vehicle.
With this vehicle, the doctors in Ukraine will be able to provide many expectant mothers with a well-supplied medical birth.
Because no mother deserves to give birth to her child in the rubble between ashes and dust and so we are giving the expectant parents back some dignity and humanity.

He is a very generous person and would like to remain anonymous for the time being, even the amount remains anonymous.

Here are a few pictures of the vehicle for birth assistance:

     

We at the aid organization have the greatest respect for all supporters and cannot say thank you often enough.

We now have four vehicles together, which is absolutely fantastic.

But we could still use some support for medicines, small medical supplies, fuel, food and transportation costs.

So if you can, please continue to support us, whether it's a small amount or a large sum, whatever you can.

So that's it from me for now and I hope you are satisfied with our documentation / transparency.

Stay healthy everyone

Greetings Tim


PS: And once again proof that Bitcoin is a very good thing. You can support a project completely anonymously without having to reveal your identity.

- Update -

Hello everyone

We were able to buy the first ambulance for the Ukraine last week, now it is being equipped and prepared.

Great work to everyone involved.

In the meantime, we have reserved two more ambulances, one for intensive care and one for obstetrics.
A photo of each of the vehicles.

Here is an interim status from the forum here:

Bitcoin : 0.013373
Ethereum : 0.020541
Monero : 0.55310

Maybe we can manage to finance a complete ambulance here via this platform, that would be mega.

Delivery is planned for the end of June, as we hope to get more vehicles together by then.
So please, you can translate this post and publish it in your forums or attach it. The more people read it and know about it, the greater the chance of getting several vehicles together for the Ukraine. Thank you very much

You decide whether you want to be anonymous with your support or whether you want to write a post about it, that's your decision.

Please help us or the suffering people in the Ukraine, let us show them that the Ukrainians are not alone with their suffering, thank you

We should continue striving and not holding back from our responsibilities. A big plans comes with alot of expectations and it will be only fair to deal with our stress and having our goals accomplished before our very own naked eyes. We all have plans in the system and those that practicalised them always end up failing and I'm not saying it's not appropriate to try your best in the space. Always looking forward for promising outcome and having the best results yet to come.

I can only pray for the best, hopefully the injured will be given a speedy recovery, yes it is true that we must stand by the side of the injured people holding their hands tightly and praying for the best.

Hello,

We were asked how much such an ambulance costs with all the equipment, here are our experiences.

In the first ambulance project, almost 300,000 euros were collected, which made it possible to buy six vehicles, refurbish them and purchase various medicines and medical equipment.

Report of the first project with the cooperation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_rlrt0rnVQ

Of course, there are also transportation costs for fuel (diesel) for approx. 2700 km per vehicle as well as food for all the volunteers and drivers.
Such an ambulance has a fuel consumption of approx. 10 to 12 liters per 100 km and weighs approx. 5.5 tons when fully equipped; they are not built for long distances but for quick trips in the city.

Since we as an aid organization have to replace the vehicles again and again and we can then sell them ourselves, we don't have a dealer in between and so an expert opinion is then drawn up on the vehicle and then we buy it from the respective organizations, of course at a low value since everyone wants to help us.

But nevertheless, depending on the equipment (ambulance, emergency aid, intensive care equipment or obstetrics), such a vehicle still costs us several 10k euros or, to put it another way, for just under one Bitcoin at the current exchange rate you can get a complete ambulance fully equipped with various medicines and life-sustaining equipment including transport to the destination plus various additional medical supplies, as we do not travel to Ukraine with the vehicles empty.

Yes, it is a lot of money, but what does freedom cost, a healthy life without fear and suffering?

I hope I was able to bring you a little transparency here again to show this and we can continue to count on any support.

Greetings Tim

Forum members are trying their best to make your campaign a huge hit. I made a small donation to your campaign today. Your post has even been discussed on our local board.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.64065466

Feels good to donate even just a little to this causes, I hope that we also could see a follow up on the people that were helped with those donations, I really hope that this donation drives won't be the kind of donation drive that was organized by @cabalism where basically some of the funds that were supposed to be reported never came up or was gone in the wind and being suspected of embezzling those funds. I hope that I would be able to donate more, it's just that I'm not a rich person and there's some things that I've wanted to buy for so long that I'm saving up for, hopefully that things will be good in my way and hopefully get back to this in case they need more funding especially the one that involves the war in Ukraine.

The way this ambulance campaign of yours is progressing with everyone's help, maybe you will be able to buy an ambulance very soon to help the helpless people. Since your post has already been translated into various local sections, people there are showing more interest in helping out here. Already maybe 15 plus people have donated as much as they can to the ambulance campaign. I am also one of those people who donated little bitcoins to help the needy people. Everyone should help these helpless people with a free-spirited attitude by giving whatever they can.

Please note: any possible donation announcements about @derBowlers ambulance campaign got to @derBowlers topic: Ambulance - Campaign - Ukraine
Please note as well: any discussions, questions or similar about @derBowlers aid campaign will be carried out in his topic as well.
Doing so, will keep discussions on-topic, in each dedicated discussion. 
 

Hello friends

As some of you have already noticed, the error devil has crept into the Monero address and therefore some get an error message when sending.

We also had to check this first and realized that there is a space between the 4 and the A, which we have corrected.

Here is the correct valid address for Monero:

4958PhVdtQGTpgdpC2VUhv94MvnCSrA4E77aVmViwfdzbTrU5VGfYRtPTNSjcwtJgNhGzyVw9AqTMG4 A5Upv623cEPesXaU

Some people have asked what has been collected so far, so here's an update.

Bitcoin : 0.01152651
Ethereum : 0.0205
Monero : 0.37529

Here is a big, big thank you to @ All, please keep it up so that we can help the needy people again this time.

Greetings Tim

It is not possible for a single person to implement a big plan. In this case, if everyone can work together to implement the plan, then it becomes very easy to implement the plan. Buying an ambulance to facilitate medical treatment for Ukrainians is a very difficult thing for one person, but if we all join together and participate in donations, we can easily implement this plan. So we all will come forward to implement this plan together.

My donation hash:

Hello everyone,

you guys are awesome, my total respect to everyone here!

Nobody has to justify or apologize here, everyone donates as much as they can and nobody has to have a guilty conscience and think that their donation is too small, every cent counts and in the end the amount makes the result.
I also think it's great that one or the other is translating this campaign on other forums and thus continuing to advertise this project, so perhaps more support will come together to make this local project a success.

We as an aid organization (DRK) are absolutely in the public eye and our vocation is to help suffering, needy, poor, sick and all socially weak people and so this time we are helping the people of Ukraine.
Misuse of the support is completely impossible for us as everything is supervised by our legal department and we can prove at any time what we have done with which money and when.
This is also documented as well as possible in this forum, as some of you may have read.

Our philosophy is :
the wealthy give to the poor, we support the socially weak who are in need, because we are all human and everyone needs help.


Please understand that I can't reply to every post, but when I have more time I will of course distribute lots of merits.

Please, please keep up the good work, we want to collect as many ambulances as possible for the Ukraine.

Maybe we can also find some big investors who would support our project because the ambulances cost a lot of money even when used and then they also have to be equipped with various medical materials.

Thank you again, thank you, keep up the good work, the suffering people of Ukraine are so grateful to each and every one of you and together we can help these people and give them some hope again.

On behalf of everyone, my deepest respect to you and make sure you stay healthy.

Greetings Tim

I have been trying hard to send the donation for the last two days but I was unable to send it due to an error in the monero address. But I later analyzed there was a mistake that was causing this problem so I was able to resolve it now. There was a bug that caused invalid addresses to show up when sending donations, however I have now resolved this and now I will be able to send donations. For those who are unable to send donations due to high transaction fees in Bitcoin and Ethereum, you can do transactions in Monero where the transaction fees are relatively low.

I think it is the duty of all healthy people to stand by the helpless destitute and war-torn people. Ukrainians are being persecuted by Russia, which is causing their country's people to be in dire straits, and our small donation will go a long way for them. So those of us who can afford to donate should stand by and help the poor people of Ukraine.

I came to know about this bitcoin donation through a thread created by @1Miau and @derBowler then I expressed my interest in donating some bitcoins there and finally I was successful in doing so. Maybe many users like me who have already helped in a small way to stand by the Ukrainian people, maybe many more people will stand by the Ukrainian people and help them.

Finally @1miau and @derBowler thank you both for creating such a great and helpful thread aimed at helping Ukrainians.

First of all I am not saying that I am a student and I don't have any income in this forum and outside this forum but when I see a post about donation campaign I feel that I should help here and try my best to help here. I will but I will help here. It was my intention to help and that's why I had some money to buy a bicycle and I donated a part of that money here.  

After donating I was a bit surprised because I donated about 18 dollars(0.0002467 BTC) but the donation probably reached 10 dollars(0.0001596 btc). That means I have to pay about $8 in gas fees and then complete this transaction.  Here OP would have given the address of USDT or any other platform then my full donation would have reached. Other brothers like me who donated also paid relatively same amount of transaction fee and then completed this transaction, in which case I would say the entire transaction fee is lost on us.  
Anyway, I would like to invite you all to donate here, even if it's a small amount, because when everyone donates here little by little, the total amount of donation here will increase a lot.  

@derBowler Thank you so much for launching such a great campaign because you've helped so many here.

Beautiful initiative taken by @derBowler on the helplessness of people in war torn country of Ukraine I hope God will make your initiative successful. I made a promise last week to do something for the war-torn and helpless people in Ukraine, I may not be able to physically go there to help you but I have sent some amount of money according to my ability.  Although it is a very small amount, I have sent my maximum amount (0.00028865 btc) with (0.00010000 btc transaction free) to your mentioned account. Although my amount is very small, I feel peace of mind to donate to the helpless people of Ukraine. Let us all try to stand by the helpless people of Ukraine.

Txid: dacc21a70c87e9e96ab93db266715caa6c1b1bf5c548337900a85f98b0032069

You have done a very nice and noble work, helping the war-torn people is a noble virtue. If everyone helps then it is definitely possible to succeed in this matter, and all the distressed people will get medicine and care for illness.

Ukraine needs more help, I am happy to see many people being supportive on here but Imagine if we have 10 more people like @derBowler? Keep up the God's work the Almighty will reward you in folds, I don't know why I am just seeing this, I will surely make contribution by week end or this coming Monday.

We feel nothing watching wars in movies but it is a disaster in the real life, my grandfather used to tell me about the past wars in my country when he was alive, he said he nearly died four times in different locations while he was trying to survive, due to famine in the country he would eat anything just to keep himself alive, he end up eating a poisonous fruit in the jungle.

I hope this war comes to an end very soon, it is already taking too long, in this new age such a thing shouldn't be happening, we choose war over peace? It is barbaric

A big thank you to everyone here who donated to purchase an ambulance to help the war-torn people. Blessings to all for this great work, but those of you who are still interested in donating can definitely BUMP. Because you can help a person in danger any way you can, maybe through @derBowler we have found a way to help. So all of you come forward and help purchase the ambulance.

BUMP BUMP BUMP

Thank you very much, I think it is very much of you to donate a small amount to this great cause. A small donation becomes a huge donation If everyone donates a little, then it will be seen that this ambulance project will be able to succeed. However, since you have given your word and your donation to support the people affected by the war in Ukraine, I think your donation is very much on your part. So we must tell everyone that you should donate as much as you can, it must be a human benefit to another human being.
You may have donated in Bitcoin and the transaction fees are high, maybe you sent it from an exchange. If you transfer your donation from any wallet then you can send it with a small fee, you may not have noticed this well, if you did then your transaction fee would be less, so I would say next time if you send donation anywhere then definitely from wallet will send.
