RAFFLE NOW CLOSED. All RAFFLE TICKETS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED. BIG THANKS TO @krnel FOR HIS GENEROUS DONATION AND I WILL BE DISTRIBUTING HIS TICKETS VERY SOON.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! :)
I am offering you a chance to get your hands on one of the rarest silver rounds ever created! (The 2018 Steem Silver 1oz round) And even better than that, you will be giving support to one of the greatest and most worthwhile communities ever created!! (@familyprotection)
How could you possibly say no?
Before I tell you exactly how to participate, I would like to explain where your money will go and the direct effect it will have on helping a family much in need of assistance.
@familyprotection is a community created to highlight and assist families who have been targeted by Social Services. An incalculable number of families have been torn apart and innocent parents all across the world are having their children stolen from them and placed into care. More often than not this is due to the corrupt practices of social workers who submit false reports to Family Courts, enabling them to obtain a court-order which then gives them the power to take a child away without the parent's consent.
To many people, this is an unbelievable concept and the idea of Social Workers purposely removing children for no reason sounds like a lie. "There must be a reason why"... "The parents aren't telling the whole story"... This is often a response I hear when telling people of this all too common scenario. Sadly, I can assure you with 100% certainty, and from personal experience, that parents do have their children stolen from them under false allegations. This terrible experience has become a living nightmare for my sister and our family and due only to the corruption of the authorities it looks like we are about to have our beloved little angel stolen from us.
My partner and I are appealing to the Family Courts to become guardians if the worst is to happen as this could be the only chance we have of not losing her forever. To do this we are having to pay court costs and for this reason I am splitting any funds raised 50/50 between @familyprotection and myself.
I hope you can understand how important this fund-raiser is and I hope as many people as possible will get involved.
Rules of the raffle
A raffle ticket will cost you the paltry sum of 2HBD or 8HIVE and the raffle will run for 4-weeks or until I sell 50 tickets(Whichever comes first). At the end of the 4th week, I will draw the raffle using a raffle-bot on discord (The draw will be recorded and the video posted onto Hive to announce the winner). Once the winner is announced I will contact whoever it is and organize postage(P&P costs will be covered by myself)
1. Anyone can enter the raffle, no matter where you live.
2. You may buy as many tickets as you want.
3. Send your payment to my wallet and leave a comment in the memo
4. Drop a comment on the most recent raffle post informing me you have paid. Once I confirm payment I will reply and enter you into the raffle.
5. Please upvote and share this post (I can't stress how helpful that is).
To keep you all updated, each week while the raffle is running I will write a post confirming who has entered and how many raffle tickets each person purchased.

Sent you 80 HBD. You have your 50 tickets ;) You can distribute the 40 to others, do a contest or whatever, I dunno lol. Or keep running this contest for 4 weeks ;) Peace.
What an awesome message to wake up to! I can't thank you enough. You're a legend, @krnel and you have made my day.
Just got to think of a way to distribute them...
Just wanting to confirm this. In the previous raffles you had we sent payments to FP. This time we send them to you?
Sorry to hear you've hit a rocky area again.
Hello buddy, great to hear from you. Yes mate, that's right. Because it's being split 50/50 I've had to make this change.
What can I say, life has a way of kicking you in the arse. Fingers crossed this works out for my sister.
Got your donation :) Thank you and @lucylin. I'll add her to the list. BTW I have received 80HBD from @krnel today for the rest of the tickets. He has instructed me to distribute them to whoever so Ill be doing that soon. My first thoughts are to give away a ticket to anyone who has shared/commented on this post and then I'll find a way to share out the rest. Thanks for supporting this, buddy. It means a lot.
First, Lucylin is a guy lol.
Second, he was flat donating it and read it came as a surprise to him that he was entered. It was my fault as I should have written more in the memo.
In a little while I will be forwarding another donation made to help from @bashadow. They sent 2.97 Hive. They sent (as did lucylin) them in response to this post I made about your plight in the second half of the post.

I named you the beneficiary of the post. It, like what I am sending shortly are to be used entirely for your legal costs. Not to be split. I have continued to support/donate family protection, and will continue to do so. This is for you, the circumstances you find yourself in the very reason family protection was founded to help with. So far the upvotes have been very generous, and will payout to you in six days.
I'm waiting a couple hours to transfer the donation sent from Bashadow as I have a post paying out then and will be transferring the little over 4 HBD to you as well. Not much, but together we can achieve something greater than the parts.
I'm humbled by the level of caring I see from so many associated with this project, especially you. I'm grateful and humbled to witness so many rallying to your aid. Good things for good people. It's an honor to see others who appreciate your character and willing to step up to help as you have done so often in the past.
Please keep us posted on the situation as it develops. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Lol, thanks for the correction. That could have been even more embarrassing.
Thank you @practicalthought these donations and comments really do help to push through during bad times and I have just read your post. I have to admit you brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. You are a real friend and have shown me how brilliant people can be. As you said, it is humbling to in the company of such kind people and in a time when the world seems so harsh that is truly revitalizing.
Due to @krnel's generous donation and have some spare raffle tickets to hand out. Thank you for your support. Because you have taken the time to get involved I have added a raffle ticket in your name(One for yourself and @lucylin)
Thank you @krnel. It's awesome to be a part of a community that comes together in times of need, voluntarily because of caring in the heart.
If somehow my ticket is picked, please use the coin however it will best help in your legal matter. The welfare of your niece is so much more important than a small piece of metal.
So sorry about your ongoing problems. Really hope the raffle work. It seems that way. Thank you everyone who bought tickets and donated to @familyprotection and to @article61

So very sorry to hear of your troubles, I'm sending 16 Hive to join in and if I win I will re-raffle the token and send the proceeds to @familyprotection to carry on the good work.
So it was you who set up this UK-Hive community #. Bravo!! I found it by chance and I'll start tagging all my posts with it.

Wow, Thank you!
Wow! What a great response already! Thank you very very much :)
Hello dear friend @ article61 good night
I am very sorry about what is happening to your family, I am always interested in this bishop of thing and I have knowledge that the same thing has happened to many families.
I admire and know the great work @ canadian-coconut and @familyprotection does in supporting the families you need
You have my humble support, I sent you a memo.
I share this publication to make more people known
I wish with all my heart, all this is resolved in the best way. Dear friend
@jlufer, thank you so much for your support and kind words. I can't agree with you more about @canadian-coconut and the support she has given to so many desperate families. @familyprotection is a vital service for families who are silenced by such a horrible system.
Thanks also for sharing this post and supporting the raffle. I will update the post today and add you to the participant's list.
There is nothing to thank dear friend, in cases like these is when we should be, because one never knows the turn of life. Dear friend @ article61
Wise words :)

Thank you @article61
You're welcome, buddy :)
Just sent you another 4HBD for another two entries into the silver raffle 👍
Haha, I hope I'm not turning you into a gambler :)
Spot on, matey. I'll add these in. Just to let you know, @krnel has just sent me 80HBD for the rest of the tickets! :) He's instructed me to dish them out to whoever, so I just have to come up with a fair way to do that.
Yep I am a gambler now😱

If I win ( I never knew I entered. lol), sell the coin, (or whatever), and pocket the cash to add to the fund...
I guess it was @practicalthought who purchased a raffle ticket for you :)
Thanks! I have a think about what to do...
Congrats guys on your wins
Hi, I haven't picked a winner yet as I have some tickets to give away. If you look at my most recent post there is time to get yourself a raffle ticket if you fancy supporting us.
