All proceeds from this post will go to support Ask Me Why I'm Here (AMWIH).
I did it. Now entering the third week of this charity drive I've decided upon my arbitrary goal. I'd like us to be able to read $500 SBD. I've been seeing higher returns on my blog in the last week, so I think this is a reasonable expectation. Of course, I always hope for a higher rate of return than usual on these charity posts, but we'll see what happens.
I chose to do this charity as a multi-week drive because the results of my first attempt were embarrasingly low and I didn't want to give an insulting 37 cent donation.
How it Works
All you have to do is this...
I will hold back all funds in my wallet until we reach my goal of $500. At that point, I will trade my SBD for Bitcoin on Poloniex and then sell the BTC for Canadian Dollars which will then be transferred to AMWIH.
If anyone is concerned that I will cut and run with the profits, remember that all financial information on Steemit is public. If you have any concerns, I would encourage you to stay vigilant, watch my account and publicly shame me if I behave dishonestly.
After the goal has been reached and my charity drive is over, I will make a follow-up post to prove that all funds have been transferred to the right place.

What is Ask Me Why I'm Here?
As stated on the group's Facebook page, they are a social movement based on altruism. The focus of the charity is to connect people who want to make a positive difference, while actually making a measurable difference by providing basic necessities and emotional support for those in need. There are no questions, no forms to fill out, no judgement, just love.
AMWIH holds events in Oshawa every Sunday. Here is a video from their Life Rally which took place on August 28th.
This video does a better job at showing what they do than I could ever describe.
Thank you so much for reading, watching and hopefully clicking the upvote button. Every little bit helps.
