Aww YAH!
So glad some people are feeling the love out there! Did you make YAH your Valentine last week? Now is your chance to keep that feeling going or start it up. For the next two Thursdays this month (including today), we are doing a fundraiser for our fabulous charity group here on Steemit -
You Are H.O.P.E. So, what we would appreciate that everyone do is spare us one 100% upvote on this post this week. All the SBD generated from these will be sent to 
Hive account@youarehope for them to use as they see fit. It doesn't matter if you're part of the family or not, help us show and spread some love!Results From Last Week
Considering what we did on our first week for the Christmas run, this is relatively close. I imagine now that the word is getting out, we can easily double last week's efforts and spread this cute little puppy all around Steemit. The last post ended up raking in $10.338 SBD which currently on Coin Market cap, is the equivalent of $36.49 USD! That can surely help feed some people! Pretty good for the first week, let's do it again and then some! :)
One of #thealliance witnesses, 
Hive account@sircork, has been utilizing Steemit and the STEEM blockchain in a most commendable way. It's with a community he heads up called Hive account@youarehope. You Are H.O.P.E. (Help-Opportunity-Purpose-Empowerment) is a charitable organization using the speed and scalability of what this platform can become. They are very transparent in their actions and we, in turn, have no qualms sending them our dividends from these Steemit posts. They have aided the disaster area of Puerto Rico with the help of fellow ally, 
Hive account@nichi. Down in Venezuela, 
Hive account@malos10 & 
Hive account@rapos has been feeding and providing medicine to those less fortunate including hospital residents and orphanages. Hive account@youarehope is doing work in Nigeria as well, with food, clothing, shoes, and just spreading the good Steemit word with the help of great Steempeeps like 
Hive account@misterakpan. And, Hive account@sircork himself, is about to go on a multi-national tour to promote the cause and meet with Steempeeps across the world.

Keep Going...
Love how our notion is spreading like a new hot fad across Steemit already with more people making posts and donating themselves! Great job guys! Now, we know not everyone can simply send a hundred STEEM or SBD to Hive account@youarehope. That's why we're asking you vote this post with as much strength as you possibly can and resteem it so everyone in the Steemit ocean can do the same. Even if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day or have any affiliation with St. Valentine, surely you can find it in your heart to tap that upvote. To make it interesting, #thealliance will do a call-out publication featuring all the fabulous donors that voted 100% to the cause each week. Thank you, and may the love spread like a wildfire!
We Really Are Changing Lives Everyone:
Lyrics-
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and mee
We are the world (are the world)
We are the children (are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day, so let's start giving (so let's start giving)
There is a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, let me hear you!
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (said we are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let start giving (so let's start giving)
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me, come on now, let me hear you
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let's start giving (so let's start giving)
