Well, @papilloncharity works in the same fields, if not worse and we use the blockchain in the hope that it can secure our service deliveries.
You are 100% correct, as the blockchain cuts out the middlemen.

I believe that there are some minor fees from the exchanges to convert the funds into local currency, but it is way better than crowdfunding or professional fundraising charges.

We will have to see what the future holds in store for us my friend.
Thank you for posting this!
