Moving Outside Malaysia: What We Have to Spare, We Try

in #upfundition5 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemian readers

foodbank-news-cover-20190214.png

Today is an off-topic for our Food Bank Malaysia's update. We Do have exciting news as God has been truly good to us as He never shortchange us in anyway.

About an hour ago when we were not online, we received a message from @chinotattooart asking for help to exchange with us some SBD with the little NYC he had.

We do not have other coins though we love to have NYC as an option for the future.

I have 16K NYC.... and I would like to exchange with you if you want ... for some SBD to be able to buy food for my family today.
I want to apologize for my abuse, Happy Valentine's Day, I have nothing to say to ask for a favor,...
...I need money to buy food for my family,
... I have a little daughter who is 1 year old and I would like you not to spend one of the most beautiful days in such a terrible way. If you can please, I thank you for your support.

I paraphrased a little of his conversation


For those who are not aware of the situation in Venezuela, please read one of the posts by someone Alexander has reached out to:


We do not have much to spare as we are trying to engage with local donors to help keep exchanging SBD with us so that we can buy necessary items for the needy folks; but today, we make and exception.

It's Valentine's Day and we hope that whatever limited we have here, if we can bless one family today, we would be happy to do so.

NYC is a very new adoption coin and it has not been taking flight yet. And with only 16K of NYC that only rounds up to 16 cents USD what can he able to buy anything for a meal knowing that Venezuela's inflation has skyrocketed to the max?

With the sudden blessing of 50 cartons of organic milk that will be able to help at least 3 (shelter) schools we have decided to do something for his family as we should able to cover this week's supply to the children.

This is what we have decided to reply him in Discord

$10 USD doesn't look a lot... but it could cover a whole week's grocery here in Malaysia for a small family. We hope that with this little help he will be able to find a good exchanger or at least some Steem / SBD supported merchants to get something for food. We hope that he will be able to use what @dses proposed kind of parallel ecosystem which we are also adopting into for donors to help the Food Bank so to minimise the red tape and exchange fees through a local Steemian there.

We would like to wish him all the best, and we will pray for his family and his country.

We would also like to encourage him that - God truly never shortchange us. HE has yet again and again pulled the Food Bank through with surprising new donors and we are just overwhelmed with gratefulness.

The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.
Psalm 34:10

We know this sounds preachy, but this is truly the Grace of God that is pulling our mission and vision; and we truly hope that Alexander will be able to see that no matter how hard the situation is, look up; redemption is near.

Happy Valentine's Day to all who are celebrating Love

And we hope that those who seek love will truly find The Agape Love.
