Just a heads up on confirming where the donations have been going, we sent out a few payments this past weekend and i have some others ready when the fiat is in the account for Samaritan's Purse and Mercury One. 

But yesterday we got $10k of BTC to the Bitcoin Veterans and I've gotten to see what is being spent and how, and Shane is even getting a report together detailing out where all of the funds are going, aside from the fact that they've been sending regular video and photo updates from the ground.

Then I've also sent $2,500 to the Cajun Navy who have been incredible in the area, and have even been good about getting around the authorities who have caused friction in the relief efforts, and also calling them out on social. Always gotta respect someone with the backbone to not let a "regulation" get in the way of doing the right thing. That gives me a lot of confidence that it's a good place to send funds. 

And just so you know I'm trying to space out the donations just a little (maybe a week or two) because I worry funds will run out faster and more likely to over spend on one aspect while something else less obvious suffers in a week or two. So any additional information or places that aren't getting addressed as well are very welcome. It will help decide where time and resources should be deployed. I'll keep sending any zaps that come in for the rest of the month, and probably over the next two weeks I'll distribute most of the funds that have come in so far.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed!  🧡
