Well this is a post I really hoped I'd never have to make. I found out this morning some horrific news that hits very very close to home for me.
Yesterday, a bus carrying 29 members of a minor league hockey team in Saskatchewan (my home province) was hit by a semi. Tragically, 14 people on that bus have died.
This hits incredibly close to home for me. I have a son who played for a travelling hockey team this season and he took a bus at least 15 times. I can only imagine - in my worst nightmares - what the parents are feeling right now.
There is nothing we can do to bring them back but the very least we can do is help make this process a fraction easier by donating what we can to help these families.
I've been looking for a good option to donate crypto all day and I haven't found one so I just went ahead and created new Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets.
I think I've proven in my time in the crypto world that I'm a trustworthy person and 100% of whatever is donated will be going to help these families who are literally living their worst nightmare right now.
If you aren't comfortable with that I will also link to the GoFundMe page for direct contribution.
At the very least have these parents and survivors in your thoughts (and if you're religious in your prayers too).
I'm hoping this is a chance to show people the crypto world (which is a lot smaller and more tight knit than people think!) can make a difference outside the blockchain space. Please share this post as far and wide as you can.
Thank you for anything you do and I hope I never ever have to make this kind of post again.
