September was a difficult month. As well as the continued low steem price, the difficulties with Hard Fork 20 meant most activities on the blockchain were halted for a week at the end of the month.
Despite those problems I was determined to reach my target of a minimum of US$ 500 equivalent of daily donations during the month. I am happy to report that through a combination of continued generosity from our supporters, a small increase in my personal donations and drawing on some of the 
reserves we just managed to reach the goal with a total of US$ 500.64 donated in the month.
This brings the total donated since the project restarted in May to over US$ 3250.
I am really keen to hit a target of US$ 5000 by the end of the year.
It was great during September to add another project in Africa (
) to our roster of recipient projects. I was also delighted during the month to build a strong relationship to work with 
and the SteemChurch that he has founded.
September also saw two more regular Witness Supporters come on board through

DONATIONS GIVEN OUT
During September A Dollar A Day distributed daily donations totalling 501 SBD, which was the equivalent of US$ 500.64 at time of donation.
Fourteen different projects in eight different countries received donations from the project.
DONATIONS RECEIVED
Donations were received from 30 steemians during August, this included a growing number of Witness Supporters.
Because of the lack of SBDs being paid out in September many 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
To maintain the planned level of daily donations during Hard Fork 20 week, 43 SBD were used from

HOW TO SUPPORT A DOLLAR A DAY
The A Dollar A Day project is based on the simple idea of people donating one Steem Backed Dollar (SBD) each day. Those SBDs are pooled to give to a bigger daily donation to a good cause around the world.
If you would like to support the work of A Dollar A Day there are five ways you can help :
1. Donate SBDs to
Just send SBDs for however many days you would like to support to
2. Donate steem to
If you don't have SBDs send steem instead to
3. Delegate to
A Dollar A Day uses SteemAuto to vote on the posts of all the projects currently supported to provide an extra regular income. The aim is to achieve sufficient steempower to provide a $1 upvote to each project each day.

| 50SP | 100SP | 250SP | 500SP | 1000SP | 2000SP | 5000SP |
