November was a difficult month. SteemFest, job cuts and tumbling prices...
Despite all that A Dollar A Day kept focused on its goal and still managed to donate over US$ 600 to 17 projects around the world.
This brings the total donated since the project restarted in May to just over US$ 4500. If the steem and SBD price stay where they currently are through December it looks like we are going to fall short of the US$ 5000 target by the end of the year.
It would be a great shame if we miss out on that $5K target. Without the big price drop we would have made it. If you can dig a little deeper into your steem wallets to help out with some extra donations in December that would be most excellent. Thank you.
Even in this troubled past month it was heartwarming to still get so much great support coming in from over 40 steemians around the platform.
Two more Witness Supporters came on board - 
I am also very grateful to those steemians who have done fundraising posts or set

December is going to be a big month, and a challenging month, for A Dollar A Day.
With the whole crypto market behaving the way it is at the moment it is difficult to know where the steem price is going.
This of course is having a major impact for the projects A Dollar A Day supports. They buy food and clothes for destitute children, they employ teachers to teach kids in slums, they buy sewing machines to train unemployed women... The costs of all these is not going down with crypto so they are getting hit hard.
If you can give a little more, particularly in this giving month of December, that will truly help as we try to maintain the same level of support to the projects.
DONATIONS GIVEN OUT
During November A Dollar A Day distributed daily donations totalling 662 SBD, which was the equivalent of US$ 617.52 at time of donation. This represented an decrease of 12% on the previous month.
Seventeen different projects in 12 different countries received donations from the project.
DONATIONS RECEIVED
Donations were received from 44 steemians during November, this included a growing number of Witness Supporters.
Because of the recent lack of SBDs being paid out in posts quite a few donations were given in steem. These were exchanged for SBD on the internal market and rounded up to the nearest whole SBD - any difference being made up from
An anonymous donation of 79 steem was received during the month. This has been held as steem pending a more favourable time to exchange to SBD.
To help A Dollar A Day reach its target of $5000 by the end of year A Dollar A Day contributed 47 SBD from post rewards to the daily donations.
DELEGATIONS RECEIVED
November saw a continued flow of incoming delegations all helping to build the voting power of the
Alas with the lowering steem price the account is still short of our target of being able to give out $1 votes to the projects we support. The account vote is currently at around $0.32 from around 13,800 SP. So it looks like we will need to grow the account to around 45K SP to deliver the sought after $1 vote.
If anyone knows any big delegators do let them know about A Dollar A Day 😊
