There are moments in life that remind you why your work matters.
Today, something happened that I had been fearing for a long time.
I knew this day would eventually come, but I never imagined it would arrive so soon.
I'm not wealthy.
I don't come from a rich family.
I don't have an inheritance waiting for me.
I'm simply a young man trying to build a future for myself, spending countless hours every day sending job applications here and there, hoping that someone, somewhere, will give me an opportunity.
But beyond my personal struggles, I chose to create
because I believe Bitcoin is not only about money.
Bitcoin is about people.
It is about freedom.
It is about helping each other and creating real impact.
Thanks to the incredible support of this community, we have been able to bring smiles, food, and hope to people who needed it the most.
Last year, just before the beginning of the school year, your contributions allowed us to provide school supplies to more than 22 children whose parents did not have the financial means to buy everything they needed.
To some people, it was just notebooks, backpacks, pens, and pencils.
But to those families...
It was much more than that.
It was dignity.
It was relief.
It was hope.
Many people think that I personally have a lot of money because they see the impact of these actions.
The reality is very different.
Every meal we have provided.
Every school supply we have distributed.
Every smile we have created.
It was possible because of you.
The Bitcoin community made it happen.
Today, after spending another exhausting day in my room sending CVs and searching for opportunities, I decided to go outside for a walk to clear my mind.
While walking, I heard someone calling me.
"Big brother... please wait! I want to talk to you."
I turned around and saw a woman waving at me.
As someone who respects people, I walked toward her and asked what she wanted to talk about.
She immediately reminded me of the school supplies distribution we organized last year.
She thanked me again and then asked me a simple question:
"Will you organize another school supply distribution this year?"
For a few moments, I remained silent.
Because I honestly didn't know what to answer.
I explained to her that Hope With Bitcoin is not funded by me personally.
This mission exists because of the generosity and support of the Bitcoin community.
I told her that, for now, we don't know if we will be able to organize another school supply distribution this year.
But we are praying that God sends us supporters, donors, and partners who believe in this mission and will help us make it possible.
I encouraged her to pray with us as well.
We wished each other well, and we continued our separate ways.
But her question stayed in my mind.
The new school year is only two months away.
For some families, this is a moment of excitement.
For others, it is a moment of anxiety because they don't know how they will provide the basic school materials their children need.
That woman's question was not just about notebooks or backpacks.
It was a reminder.
The impact we created last year gave people hope.
And today, some of them are still believing in us.
To everyone who has supported #HopeWithBitcoin:
Thank you.
You didn't just provide school supplies.
You showed families that they were not forgotten.
You proved that a small act of kindness can create a lasting impact.
This year, we are preparing our next mission:
Providing 50 complete school kits to children whose families cannot afford them.
Each kit will cost $25, meaning we need to raise $1,250 to make this possible.
With Geyser's 5% platform fee included, the total fundraising goal is $1,312.50.
If you want to be part of this mission, you can support us.
If you cannot contribute financially, sharing this message is already a powerful way to help.
Every contribution.
Every satoshi.
Every share.
Can help a child return to school with dignity and confidence.
Two months from now, 50 children will begin a new school year.
Together, let's make sure they carry more than a backpack.
Let's make sure they carry hope. ❤️
