This post has been published to raise awareness for a serious issue.
I’m a 31-year-old Male with a passion for Marketing, Crypto and helping people.
I’m currently in The Philippines for a few months work; when I go for a walk each morning, I see homeless kids sleeping on the street. I grew up in a first world country, so this is a shock to see.
There was a specific bunch of boys that I would see often sleeping literally on the side on the road, in arm's length from cars and motorbikes flying past all night.
After seeing these boys in the same place for a few days, I decided to take action, buy them breakfast and learn a little about their situation.
Long story short, they loved some Jollibee for breakfast!
That night I lost a lot of sleep thinking about their situation, how did they end up there, why are their options, etc.… I decided the best next move was to buy them some necessary things like shoes & socks, backpacks, etc.

Homeless kids are nothing new. Unfortunately, this happens all around the globe and effects a tremendous amount of kids right now! What is new is the ability for anyone to help via innovative Crypto/Blockchain solutions like Steemit.
It blows my mind that we live in a world where a community like Steemit can raise money and make a change by literally clicking a button. Thanks Steemit for making this possible.
I figured this post would be an excellent introduction to the Steemit community as it shows I intend to use this platform for good.
