“I am Aya Muhammad from Gaza, I was a university student on my way to achieving my dreams, preparing for my wedding with Mohamed, and living in a home full of memories. But the war destroyed everything. I lost my home, my studies stopped, and my dreams vanished. Today, my family and I live in harsh conditions, searching for hope amidst the ruins. Yet, despite everything, there is still a small dream in my heart to start anew.” https://gofund.me/1222af19

    If i can offer a tip: Pay day for most of the west is the last Friday of the month, and timing your activities to coincide with it may yield slightly higher results because people may not have money to offer at other times of the month.

        Ahhh that’s like videogame activity too actually. There’s a reason weekends have double XP events to encourage activity - there’s less of it.

        Humans are creatures of habit, we do the exact same thing everyday of the working week and then the weekend they break that habit because they have their own time. This also leads to the issue of the weekend being the most common point in time where habits can be permanently broken and routines changed, meaning that something else replaces a previous habit in the next work week. Keeping activity in the weekend is intended to hopefully mean that the routine is unbroken going into the next routine week.

        No worries! Obviously I’m not saying that you should stop at other times too, I’m just explaining when you’re most likely to see the highest results :)
