Redditors crashed the website with donations over $25k and 0 wishes left. via /r/MadeMeSmile
In response to this event, some redditors created r/charityraid, with the goal of concentrating the power of thousands of users into a single charity at a time to hopefully break a few more sites.
As of 9/21/21, the site has updated with more wishes. The incredible spike in donations is amazing, but if you want to and are able to keep the momentum going, there are over 300 waiting to be filled at https://www.onesimplewish.org!
a lot of these are very basic, small things. i just spent 17 dollars to buy a kid water shoes for a lake vacation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
7/9/22 There are 200+ wishes who need YOU!
I don’t normally tag people but I’d like to send this to @instructor144 to post on positivity day. Maybe it would help crash the site again.
BOOST.
Let’s see if we can crash the site and empty it out again.
Update, as of right now (12/8/22) there are 275 wishes needing fulfillment, ranging from a teen who was only asking for a few sticks of deodorant to a boy who wanted warmer clothes to stay warm to older kids wanting tablets for school or their creative passions and older adults with disabilities with needs and wants. Young folks recently aged out that need help with gas for their car to get to their new job or a table and chair so they aren’t eating on the floor.
150 wishes as of 16 December 2022!
