RE: CHRISTMAS DONATION !!! 500 STEEM !!! UPDATE
Love this idea. It would be awesome if all the causes could be funded...how do you pick just one?

I don't know yet to be honest. It depends if there will be more donations from other Steemians too. But I will definitely check each project and see what they are doing. This will help me to decide too..
I wish I could support all of them...
Me too! It's also quite heartwarming to see how many people are invested in good causes. If you do this again next year, I may have to nominate my own non-profit! Matthew and I have a fledgling nonprofit called The FairCosa Foundation which aims to help people reentering society. We're starting with men recently released from prison. We will help them with housing and job training and placement. I'm pretty excited about it, but it's still in its baby stages right now. :-)
That is such a great news! I'm so happy to hear that you're doing something like that yourself! And this is a very good cause. These people are left alone completely and I guess that very often they end up in prison again so it's great that you're going to 'take care' of them :) Good luck and I hope to be able to do such donation next year ;)
Yeah, the recidivism rate is very high in the US, especially compared to other countries. You are right - folks get out of prison and are expected to magically transition back into society. It's so much more difficult than most people realize, so we want to remove the barriers to their success. :-)
