The Christmas bug has left and the new year is well under way. We here @thealliance believe strongly in the vision upheld by @youarehope. We are happy to have been able to give what we could to the cause. I would like to say one thing - the spirit of giving exists all year, it's up to you to tap into it.

## Results From Last Week

We are ecstatic!!! As you can see in the image below, we raised a recordbreaking $62.709 SBD! That is more than twice as much as any other post we did and has already been sent to @youarehope and we know @sircork will put it to great use. Way to ring in the new year everyone!!! At the time of this posting on Coin Market Cap, SBD was worth an average of $7.97 USD so doing the math, that's an astounding $499.79 USD!

Allied witness @sircork has started something incredible here on Steemit. It's called @youarehope. You Are H.O.P.E. (Help. Opportunity. Purpose. Empowerment.) is a charitable organization running off of the STEEM blockchain. This makes them blatently transparent in their actions and we have no qualms sending them our dividends from this Steemit post. They most recently sent 10,000 seeds to hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico with the help of another fellow ally with boots on the ground, the nurturing soul, @nichi. Down in Venezuela, @malos10 has been feeding and providing medicine to those less fortunate. @youarehope is doing work in Nigeria as well, with food, clothing, shoes, and just spreading the good Steemit word.

## GRAND Totals

Wow people, such generous hearts out there in the Steemit oceans. The final tally for our fundraising efforts was pretty amazing! 149.773 SBD has been sent to @youarehope which at this very moment is worth $1193.69!!!! Be sure to check the final YAH 100 Club post, #thealliance will keep doing the honoring the donors that voted 100% to the cause each week. Thank you, let's keep making 2018 great and STEEM ON!
