Dear friends,

two days ago I confronted you with a sad story about the family in a dire situation.

Please, read the article about the family Štampek. They are forced to live in harsh conditions without proper electricity and running water. They need an amount of 16,000 Euros to pay for the power line to reach their house.

I decided to start a donation campaign here on Steem platform. I vouched to donate all liquid rewards that I will receive in the period from February 27th 2018 up to March 13th 2018.

This article is the first situation report about the funds collected so far.

What Can You Do?

You can do many wonderful things!

Before I start numbering them, let me say that your participation is your decision alone. Nobody will force you into anything. You decide whether you will help.

1. You can donate SBD and Steem directly to my account.
   I will make certain that every donated amount will be accounted for. In return I will resteem and fully upvote at least one of your articles. Please use memo #donation when you make a transfer. Thank you!
2. You can upvote and resteem this article and the forthcoming reports of this donation campaign.
   This way you will spread the word and we will, hopefully, reach bigger audience and attract more donors.
3. You can donate directly via SEPA transaction
   Details on how to do that are published in the footnotes of this article.

How Will I Conduct This Campaign?

1. I will publish regular reports on funds collected with all the details
2. I will maintain a publicly viewable Google Docs spreadsheet with all the funds collected and regularly publish the link to it
3. At the end of fortnight period I will, in a most profitable way possible at the time, convert collected funds into Euros and send them to a bank account where the funds for the Štampek family are gathered
4. I will document and publicize this transaction

In a word, it will be a 100% transparent #fundraising for a good cause!

The Article In Ona Magazine

The following article about the situation in which family Štampek finds itself was published in Slovenian weekly magazine Ona. It is in Slovenian, of course. I am certain that you will glean the meaning and the need from it even without knowing the language.
