What is You Are Hope?
The @youarehope Foundation is a global humanitarian organization founded by @sircork and @malos10. The You Are Hope mission statement reads:
To provide the foundations of fundamental human necessities such as clean water, food, clothing, shoes and other necessities wherever, whenever and however possible economically distressed regions of the world.
They have been operating for about 7 months now and are funded by Steem on the Steemit blockchain from donations and upvotes from people like you that are supporters of their vision.
Some of their most recent acts that they did was in Venezuela where they bought supplies, materials and equipment for a school for children with special needs.

The school was in desperate need of kitchen equipment and was forced to borrow some of the most basic kitchenware to provide meals for these children. Through the help of @youarehope, they will not longer have to borrow any of the kitchenware anymore.

On Saturday of this month, the second donation was made by the hand of foundation You Are Hope and the massive support of the community of Steemit, was able to buy 30 pairs of New Shoes and 2 Packages of Clinical diapers needed by a girl who suffers from a disease that does not allow her to walk and her parents do not have the support to pay for these clinical diapers, which are worth more than a minimum salary for any Venezuelan. @bigdude
What does this mean to me?
I have been a supporter of You Are Hope since I found out about them a little over a month or so ago. I am hoping to raise awareness of this great organization and to help them continue with their mission of providing for those in need.
Like I said in my post yesterday, one of the main reasons I created the Deranged Photography Contest was to reward people from all over the world and make it an equal playing field for all of those participating.
I am partnering with @youarehope and we will work together promote humanitarian works and to help those around the world that are in desperate need.
How can you help?
Like I said at the beginning of the post, I will be donating all of the SBD rewards from this post to @youarehope. I am hoping that you show your support to You Are Hope by pushing your slider towards that 100% and voting and resteeming this post. A full 100% upvote takes around 2.5 hours to recharge and doesn't actually cost you anything, but that vote can change someone's entire world.
I am looking forward to helping You Are Hope to achieve their goals while also achieving my goals of using this platform as a way of making my mark in this world.
Do your part to leave your mark in this world by leaving a generous upvote or sending your donations to @youarehope. Thank you for taking the time to read this. You are awesome.
Thank you so much for this!
For sure, you guys are doing amazing things and everyone needs to know about it.
The YouAreHope foundation is a wonderful idea
and i love to see it and steemit being promoted
with this incredible act of kindness.
I hope soon people will open there eyes and realize
the potential of this and other platforms.
I would rather see 100s of small foundations that are small
and focused on a area then having it host by an uncontrollable huge organisation were you don't know the money goes to.
Everyone on this planet in 2018 should be able to have the basic materials as food, water, clothing and protection from nature.
Thank @derangedvisions for your efforts to help YAH :)
I totally agree. There is so much that can be done with this platform.
Way to have a big heart! I love this thank you for your great works!
Thank you for your support. YAY has been doing awesome things all over the world
we are already changing the world
that's the power of steem and his community!
Thanks so much for this!! <3
A cordial greeting to the whole community, it is amazing the love and passion that is breathed here, since I started my little dream that I call DudeLand that translated into Spanish means Land of Friends, I have met wonderful and unique people who have filled my heart with happiness, one of those people is @sircork which I admire and respect a lot.
Since I started my project DudeLand I made donations from delivery of school supplies, food, memory games, books and shoes to the most needy communities in my country venezuela.
With the support of the @youarehope foundation, I had the honor of being able to donate kitchen supplies to a special children's school and the donation of 30 pairs of new shoes, which filled the entire community with joy.
Those children who have received these shoes are very happy and full of hope because thanks to a whole community they can attend classes again.
Of course I still hope to be able to help other children who also need that help.
Never forget this is very important, We can build a tower of ideas and turn them into reality, if we focus on what we want it sounds like something that only happens in movies but the truth is that in Steemit dreams can come true, with motivation and vision to the future to achieve what we want.
Within Steemit there are endless projects that have great ideas, others that are in full growth as well as some projects with more humanitarian purposes that really leave the name of steemit at the top of the world filling the entire community with pride . These projects generate enough energy in this platform to continue working on innovative projects. This brings a great responsibility, since our most loyal followers are waiting for good content and ideas that can help us grow as a group and we can share this knowledge with the other users that make up the Steemit family. @derangedvisions

When I was a child I imagined myself as a Superhero, of those who can fly like Super Man does, but I've grown up and I see things differently.
In the real world there are Heroes that are worth Gold, Very good work@small11
