The Robinhood Fund is delighted to announce that we have received our first direct donation to a wish! b5media’s CEO, Jeremy Wright, has donated towards the fulfillment of a wish to build an orphanage in Mozambique.

When we launched the Robinhood Fund we knew we were changing the way people share their desires and help one another online, putting the power to grant wishes back in the hands of the community. Now you, the community, are truly starting to grasp just how powerful you can be. It’s amazing to witness. Not only can you vote to support the wishes that catch your imagination — whether they amuse, inspire sympathy or just surprise — but you can take direct action to ensure the wish comes true by clicking the “Donate to wish” link found on any wish page.

The man who made the wish was surprised and touched to receive the support.

I have to say that I am impressed with your fund. I would never have thought of something like this, it really is awesome. I like the idea of posting wishes and by doing so donating to the fund and that people can vote on them, not just a committee. Thanks for doing all of this.

I’m interested in world issues, especially those to do with the injustices to children. It is my life goal to be involved full time with helping children. I love kids and want to devote my life to them.

My wife, Carole, and I have two wonderful daughters of our own, Lia is almost 6 and Naomi is almost 2. They are so special to me they make me want to go out to work with kids that are less fortunate than they are.

As to my likes, I love to watch movies, read books, the last book I read was Shake Hands With the Devil. I like to spend time with my kids, volunteer in my church and hang out with my mentor friends.

Thanks for your time,
Jeffrey Way
