@stellabelle "It looks like donations or forms of donation existed for a long while. The oldest example of donation is street singers, dancers, magicians or circus actors. Having finished their performance they asked people for money. Donations are actually not only giving money. There could be given food, clothe another useful stuff. But we will talk here about receiving only money through donation. Donations have bad fame historically. That's why most people don't feel pleased usually thinking about ask for money. Some people consider only homeless ask for help. Not at all. Donation in no way should be considered as a begging. Donation is a support. A lot of people wish to donate to those who needed. That's why on steemit steemiants funding for helping to those who needed here lot off steemiants raising thousands just because we all are humans beings. What does it mean? It means that those who donated those looking for somebody who needs help. And here are thousands of steemiants want to help someone!
