Another case of Cancer.
I will summarize the post.
Save a mother.
This women who is suffering for breast cancer for last 2 years. She had treatment in 2019 which cost her 15 lakh BDT (~$17600) which is a big some for a middle class family in my country. After treatment in 2019, she was okay but recently she was found infected which she was probably not aware of. Cancer spread so fast and after consulting and having some test, doctor suggested her to have 6 more chemotherapy which she can't afford to. Personally I have helped her whatever I could afford to but she need a lot of more fund. She need a total of 6 lakh BDT (~$7000) for the chemotherapy but right now, she even don’t have $1000 worth of BDT. Earlier, she & her family spent all of their savings and had some amount borrowed. Now, she needs money which she can't manage.
I'm applying here to help her and save a mother.
Any information or proof required can be shared.
I think we do not have much fund left. Let me know the details, I will talk to my partner about it.

Auction is now over and yogg will send over 0.002BTC (minus tx fees ) to the COVID-19 address as soon as he’s received the funds .
Many thanks and hopefully I haven’t brought the charity into a bad light/disrepute. Thanks again
You have not. Appriciate all the good stuffs you have been doing for this project. I am sorry that you had to go through all these and clearly it's a misunderstanding.

@Vod, I appreciate what you do in the lending section against the noobs whoes sole intention is to scam others but when it go against regular forum users who are making good contribution to the community, helping the community to shine bright - a little flaxibility does not harm much.

I do not think we all need to be too hard when there are no escrow in a deal especially when it's not coming from a brand new noob account. In some cases we have example of highly trusted escrow who screwed up, example: master-p. There are well built account who are loan scammers, Example: The TYM, ASU etc. How would you think, we coould prevent them? There are certain things which are not in our control. If this meant to happen then it will happen. When a scam is obvious then let's call it scam instead of speculating it.

I am not against escrow, in fact, I encourage escrow but I do not force anyone. It's a choice between two traders. If the buyer is happy to accept a deal without escrow then let it be! I was 100% fine with Mbitr doing the auction without escrow. Thanks yogg for coming forward and save it from further mess.

If I remember correcly, Mbitr is wearing the signature of the project from the very beggining. There are few other users too. One way and another, these people are doing great job for this project. Hopefully these users get a little respect from the community for their selfless contribution.

Cheers.

My daughter is hopefully selling a few pieces of Art and will be donating 50% of any sales to the fund  Smiley

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.56248534
Those are a nice piece of works. There is already a bid of 3 mBTC. Hopefully more people will see the auction and will consider bidding.

Hope this is OK to post here - if not please delete - Thankyou
It's going to help this project with 50% of the raised amount so all related. You are good. Wish you and your daughter good luck.

PS: You should be introducing her in the forum with her own anonaymous identity and let her explore the community by her own (I guess she need to be 18+ since we have adult talked everywhere).

Vouching for cabalism13. He messaged me that he needs some help and if vouching for him is going to help him then I will do it. I do know him personally and I believe the funds will help his uncle.  He sent me some details about what happened and it really saddens me to see some of the pictures. I hope you guys consider his request with regards to it.
Sorry for delay.
It was approved even before you making this post.

I hope everything is good with cabalism13. I have not follow up yet.

Asking for crwth and cryptoadditchie for vouch as they know me personally.

Hi royse777, cabalism13 pm me and I asked the details of the person who are in dire need of money. I am vouching for this guy as I've known cabalism13 for a long time. I think this charity can lend him some support.

@cabalism13, I suggest that you post all necessary info regarding the illness and the specific situation of the person so everyone could see it. Hope this charity can help you out too. (Also you can get from the bitcoin charity of your thread too)
Appreciated the vouch, thanks.
Hey buddy, sorry to hear that you are going through hard time. I have sent the information to my partner. I will wait for his response and once he will be online we both will decide something. I will let you know soon. In the meantime please follow the instructions I asked you in Telegram.

Cheers,

Hello @Royse777, are these donations are purely for this forum members, or are you willing to help outside of this forum scops. As I have a deserving case, who is in need of money.

Please visit this link to see more detail: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.55527574
If a trusted forum member comes forward for anyone who he knows in real life and in need to help then we are approving those too. After all we are here to help those who are in need.

Let me talk to Hhampuz and then I will get back to you.

I know that I can't save the world with it, even I don't have enough money. Life is expensive in Germany. But here nobody is really starving, even people who don't have a home here, can get help in many places and a warm meal. But if more people from our rich countries would think like you and the others or I do, would the world be a little bit better already, I think...
From the last few years I have been travelling and staying in some eastern countries and I know how I feel when I see people around me not been able to have meal for few days/weeks, they are asking food/money from you, I usually take them to the nearest restaurant and feed them first and then if I have spear cash, I try to give them some. I see people sleeping on the street with no cloth on them, you can count the bones on their chest. I have no idea how they survive, but they are living. We made a society, but we never thought to balance it. Rich are getting rich and poor are starving.

I think I understand you a bit buddy. Thanks.

Just to double-check since you sent 0.002 BTC twice, is this your 2nd donation or it was a mistake?

I am happy to support this project, here is also a first small start from my side!

Royse, you should change some info in your ANN thread. In the ANN thread, I just saw that in "How to apply" part, you still have PM Lauda which I think is not valid anymore as Lauda is not a part of the team anymore.
I see it now. Thanks for pointing it buddy.

Update: 0.0679971 BTC donated to Royse777's Project Covid-19, and 0.0120029 BTC donated to The Water Project.
Very nice to see some contribution from theymos. But the fund was sent to wrong address (a personal fundraise address of mine). So, I transferred it to the address dedicated to the COVID-19 project.

We have an update from the COVID-19 patient, and we are happy to know that. He wrote us that his test is negative. They will do another test after 3/4 days.  I am sharing result of the report but hiding some information.



It feels good, and I am happy for this user.

What if some funds collected were to break down into two or three parts like for example:

40% - forum users ( affected by covid)
30% - patients with urgent financial needs (covid patients)
30% - groups or charity homes that are in need of funds for support.

Just a suggestion, so everybody can be entertained for help and support regarding percentage I just give my idea on possible breakdown but of course its always on your discretion.
We did not think such way. I guess we need so study in this. Thanks for your suggestion.

Guys here is a summary of the Project Covid-19 so far,

Code:
Collection 1.29116548 BTC
Spent 1.28097458 BTC


Spent breakdown,
Code:
Food supply 0.62182072 BTC
Hygiene supply 0.00770746 BTC
COVID-19 treatment 0.48543360 BTC
Cancer and other life threatening 0.16601280 BTC

The pie chart for the breakdown,




Almost every day we receive request. We go through the applications, we drop unqualified applications, sometimes when we ask more information from users - some of them just break the contact. A lot of things happen behind the wall. I, Hhampuz and our investigation team always ensure that we are with the right person. We try our best.

We were thinking to launch a paid signature campaign to get more exposure and to get more donations, but it seems we ran out of funds so until we have enough fund we have postponed the signature campaign. But if you are reading this and if your signature space is free then please help us to spread our words. Please wear the sig code which is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/project-covid-19-an-approach-to-support-the-bitcoin-community-5243099

We need more funds so that we can serve the next Covid-19 patient, the next appeal from the forum user to supply food to his locals, the next users who will ask to give him some hygiene materials for his local community or the next patient who is in dire situation of money to save his life from the life threatening disease they have.

I don't know why you brought it here, as far as I know, the initial goal of this project was to help the users of this forum when they were in trouble, not for others out there. I have no complain if Royse agrees to help her. But itis different from the original purpose of the project. Honestly, if this case were to help, we will have thousands of other cases out there that I can bring it here every day, I'm sure. We cannot help everyone. You may feel me heartless or cold-blooded, but I only say what I think is right. Every day I see difficult situations that need help, difficulties related to life, illness, accidents, sure. But I never brought it here to ask for help, because I felt that each fund had a different purpose.
In the future, I hope someone doesn't bring a guy or a girl who needs help and tell here, because they are not even here, they were never people in this forum.
I and Hhampuz agree in some level with you but it is kinda hard to put a boundary against such an appeal. After all this COVID-19 crisis is effecting everyone in one way or other. We have worked with this appeal in last few days and decided to help the patient with some money so that she can continue her treatment.

I'm summarizing the above linked post. The name of the page is "Bangladesh Rakhain Students Association". A women is looking for donation to save her life.

A women whom I personally know has been affected with cancer. She had been having a problem with her teeth for couple of months. After having a test in February 2020, she knew that she was affected by Oral Cancer. She is having medical treatment on "United Hospital" in Dhaka. Within this time, she had spent 12 lac BDT (~$14300), almost 8 lac (~$8500) is borrowed from other people. She has completed 26 chemotherapy out of 30. She needs another test to ensure whether it has germs in the affected area and 4 more chemotherapy. Now, she left nothing to continue this treatment. She needs more 3 lac (~$3600) to continue the treatment. Her family is struggling to manage the needed amount.

That's why I thought to share it here to get some help for her. I have collected all the proofs and I can share the proofs with you through PM.
Let me know if the women deserved to be helped.

Please, PM me and Hhampuz with all kind of supporting documents. Please make sure you write your username + current date on all the documents and image should be very clear. We will see what can we do.

Much appreciate this public feedback. Happy to serve your community. I hope you will find more and more people interested in Bitcoin and you will help your community to with correct information.

Hi again Royse777

I want to inform you that i have tried to contact the doctors i know and ask them for medicine prescriptions for the patients who have financial difficulties and are in urgent need. Unfortunetly, all of them refuses to provide those prescriptions, saying that it's not legal to give a copy because this requires the permission of the patients themselves which is not that easy to do. Even i ask them to give me the names of those patients and i will contact them personally, they also hesitated to do so and just propose me to buy medicines and they will give them directly to the patients. Honestly, i can't fully trust them as they can sell it. The only doctor i trust, which is my neighbor, gave me a list of medicines to buy but i found that they are so cheap and i can buy them with my own money without the need to bother you here.
Indeed, i thought about to visit hospitals. But i don't have enough time actually to do this and i don't know how to convince those patients to give me a copy of their prescriptions.
I really wanted to provide some help, but it seems that it's not that easy like i thought or maybe i don't know how to do it properly.
I will inform you once i find someone who is ready to help me or once i find a transparent strategy.

Thank you and the governor body for your good willingness.
Don't make it too hard on you.
Tell the doctor if he sees any patient who is struggling to pay for the medicine - to contact with you. They will meet you in your business place. Take the picture of the prescription like I suggested and send it to us. We will then do our due diligence and give you the money. You then pay for the medicine.

If the amount is not much then pay if upfront from you and give us the receipt. We will pay it back to you after.

I hope this helps?
