I'm @hendrix22 for those of you who don't know me yet. My name is Brendan Bowes and I live in Nova Scotia, Canada.

My wife @lyndsaybowes and I hate money. We always have and always will. We believe in people having their needs met. Let me explain.

The needs list

Source

Where am I going with this?

This needs list is for non-violent communication. Almost like a rule book to giving empathy. I'm not a light worker, tree hugger or a granola and fig eater or whatever people like to call this. I'm more of a soul who suffers from existential depression and has always been searching for the answer to life. I tried using the #42 to solve all my problems but it didn't help lol.

I would like to help each and every person that I can get their needs met. I am starting a kind of charity but not, support group but not really, I don't know the name of what I want to do so I will explain.

The #hendrix22lovesyou Initiative!

I am starting the #hendrix22lovesyou Initiative effective immediately. I want to help! I need to help! I want people to create a post with a certain item or thing that they need. Not a shit post a real post explaining who you are, what you need, why you need it and what it would mean to you.

Example

• You're a single mother without much money and you have 2 children who's winter boots are to small or have holes in them and winter is coming.

• If you need a cord of wood for your wood stove

• Diapers for your baby

• Soccer ball for your children

• Birthday present money

Really anything is accepted and considered as long as it seems genuine and comes with a quality post.

How will this work

At first it will be a little bit difficult if the items are expensive because I only have 16,000 SP. I do however think if we build a little community and all work together to upvote a persons post who needs an item then it will be easier. We have to start somewhere though. If SBD's stay up at the current rate my upvote should be able to give you $20 - $25 USD after payout with nobody else helping out. That is enough for some diapers or a pair of winter boots for your toddler etc.

How you participate in requesting help

Create a post explaining who you are, what you need for yourself, family member, loved one, neighbour, stranger etc. Why you need this item(s) and what it would do for you or how it will change your life for the better.

Tag the post (preferably the first tag) #hendrix22lovesyou and I will frequently check the posts and upvote accordingly.

How to participate in helping upvote

This part is extremely easy. If you have some extra upvotes and are looking to unload some VP on some good people who need real items this is what you do.

Go to: https://steemit.com/created/hendrix22lovesyou

Read the posts submitted by Steemians and upvote some of them to help them out with getting their needs met.

Will it work?

I can't guarantee this will work, it depends on the items I guess. I mean if you need diapers for your baby just my vote alone is enough to help you so yes it will work. If you need a airplane ticket from Australia to the USA my upvote will not help very much at all.

I hope to see some people getting their needs met and lives changed very soon and to making new friends. I'm here on Steemit for the long haul and always looking to build and help communities grow. Steemit is a fantastic place and can help everyone! Let's make change!

Love you all
