📢 General Update on Maria Jiménez’s Fundraiser – Proof of Work #8
Hello, Bitcoin community,
I hope you are all doing well.
As the title suggests, this note aims to clarify the fundraiser we organized for Maria Jiménez and share proof of our action.
A Huge Thank You to Everyone!
First and foremost, we want to express our deep gratitude to everyone who supported this cause. So many of you contributed, and while we can’t mention everyone individually, please know that your generosity gave meaning to this initiative.
Origin of the Fundraiser
About two weeks ago, while scrolling through Twitter, I came across the story of Maria Jiménez, a young girl in need of medical assistance.
She didn’t post about her situation herself it was actually shared by a charity organization ( Real Life Hereos Foundation ) that supports good causes and aligns with our values.
This organization had been advocating for Maria’s case since last year and was doing its best to help her, but their resources were limited. After conducting thorough research and verification, I decided to launch this fundraiser through Hope With Bitcoin to provide additional support.
Challenges We Faced
From the moment we launched the fundraiser, I faced a wave of skepticism and accusations. Many people flooded my inbox, claiming I was a scammer trying to profit from Maria’s story.
I completely understand their doubts. Sadly, there are bad actors on the internet. However, that doesn’t mean that everyone trying to help is dishonest. Fortunately, there are also good-hearted people, and thanks to them, this fundraiser became a success despite the challenges.
Fundraising Results
📌 Initial goal: 490,378 Satoshis
📌 Amount raised: 116,866 Satoshis
Thanks to the generosity of the Bitcoin community, we were able to convert the collected funds and send the equivalent of $100 to the organization handling Maria’s medical care.
Proof of Work #8
As announced in our previous update, all the sats have been swapped and sent directly to the organization supporting Maria.
📢 Important: All future zaps sent to the original fundraiser post will be automatically forwarded to this organization to continue helping Maria.
🙏 Once again, a huge thank you to each and every one of you for your support and trust. The solidarity within the Bitcoin community is truly incredible.
In the attached video you will see my conversation with the agency in question. As soon as they send me the confirmation of receipt, I will share it with you.
