Wow! So great to read your thoughts.
Interesting that you brought up The Red Cross. My Grandmother ran the British Red Cross for many years - just an aside - but she was a hell of a woman!
Yes, with your comments about the care being not just financial - you are absolutely right - my own version is to teach fishing and supply a fishing rod, rather than supply fish. Invariably, it is listening which is the catalyst to averting a relapse.
Each of those situations are, in fact, absolutely true. They are all a reality being faced right now.
Turning a blind eye to such things is not my gig, and dare I say it, not yours either.

You know what would be very helpful to the concept is if you were to write a post, outlining how you see it being a worthwhile cause. You clearly have an affinity with it but I would like to get people engaged - at their level - what do they care about - how would they like to see such an account managed and handled. Would they contribute if they thought it had the attributes they would look for?
What are your thought s about that?
Thank you again. It means a lot that you have thought about this as you have
All the best to you My desire is to ensure that the foundations, design, values and delivery of this account are of the steemit community. If it is me - it becomes an @ebryans thing - it needs to be a steemit thing of which the community can be proud.
