The Merry Merkle Party –  Interactive Cryptocurrency Donation Powered X-mas Tree

Details

Come join the entire Toronto Crypto Community for a night of holiday / year-end festivities and crypto enabled generosity. A first of it's kind blockchain interactive experience that you won't want to miss! This holiday season, we’re challenging the Toronto and global crypto community's generosity in donating what they can to a Toronto homeless youth shelter (Covenant House) via the “X-Mas Merkle Tree” structure!

We’re constructing a specialized X-mas tree that will interact with the Ethereum blockchain: as donations are sent to the X-mas Merkle Tree's ETH address, they will activate Light shows. We will be unveiling the X-Mas Tree at an event at the new Assembly Chef’s Hall Venue on Thursday Dec 21, with a goal to drive $25,000 in donations to Covenant House

Be Part of the Solution

L4, Truebit, Blockgeeks, the University of Toronto and the entire Toronto Crypto Community are coming together to rally the community! Come join us to help contribute -- One day at Covenant House can change a homeless kid’s life. When homeless kids are given three nourishing meals a day, they can focus on building a future.

The funds raised through the Merry Merkle Initiative will support life changing programs at Covenant House Toronto. $25,000 will provide a month of meals for all 96 kids living in their Crisis Shelter. When kid's don't have to worry where their next meal is coming from they can focus on building a future. Every donation will illuminate part of the tree bringing hope and light to the kids during this holiday season.

The Need

On any given night in Canada, there may be up to 7,000 homeless youth

About 69 percent of homeless youth reported having been victims of a crime, and most of those were violent

Almost 30 percent of our female homeless youth have reported being involved in the sex trade, including trading sex for food

For the hundreds of homeless youth who don’t know where their next meal is coming from, a life of hope and promise feels like an impossible dream.

Covenant House

As Canada’s largest agency serving at-risk, homeless and trafficked youth, Covenant House Toronto provides the widest range of services and support to as many as 250 youth a day.

More than a place to stay, Covenant House provides 24/7 crisis shelter and transitional housing on-site and in the community, along with comprehensive services including education, counselling, health care, employment assistance, job training and aftercare.

To do all this, we rely on donors for more than 80 percent of our $27-million annual operating budget.

Our doors are open to youth 16 to 24 regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or the circumstances that have brought them to our doors.

Since opening our doors in 1982, Covenant House has served almost 95,000 young people
