Early Next Week/ Dec 14 or 15: Compassion Jar

We are excited to announce a new upcoming feature: Compassion Jar

Last month, we launched our upgrade and back 7 Cups campaigns in our attempt to become a sustainable organization. We will be launching a feature which better involves the community in the process of becoming sustainable. This update will allow everyone to better understand and visualize our collective goals and how we are doing in reaching them.

This special feature will be a compassion jar. Every time someone backs 7 Cups or upgrades their account, the jar will fill up a little more. We will let everyone know and we will all celebrate as a community because every penny helps us help more people in need. We will have weekly goals that we can track based on how full the jar is getting through the week!

Remember, the most exciting this is that every time someone backs 7 Cups or upgrades their account, one more person in need gets free emotional support.

What a beautiful thought and idea. I love the idea. It reminds me of how we should fill up our own cup of kindness as we give/share them with others.

Sounds like a great idea! Similar to Reddit's Daily Reddit Gold Goal Bar. It will be fun to see the Jar fill up!

A few questions, How often will the Jar be emptied? Weekly, or only after the jar as been filled?

Will there be a special site reward of some kind when the jar has been filled?

Thanks again, this sounds great! I'm really excited :)

The idea is brilliant, indeed.

But what if that person doesn't have any money or if he/she/it does, he/she/it cannot pay up, so that means that person doesn't deserve emotional support too? Okay then, got it.

@VickyVic - i think there are many ways to give or contribute to the larger project of 7 Cups and it's also ok to be unable to give or give more than you do already, or to simply be in need.

Ideally we can create a balanced ecology where those who can help or contribute in the ways they can and those who need help and support receive what they need as well.
