"Lord, I commit this project and campaign to You. As it says in 2 Corinthians 9:8, I pray for Your abundant blessing over this work. Provide every resource needed so that this agent can serve others and abound as a force for good. Amen."
There is so much at stake right now. Prices keep climbing, but paychecks don’t. We see uncontrolled spending and runaway inflation diminishing the strength of our dollar with every trip to the store, and we are reminded daily that our dollar buys less not more.
It's challenging to keep up, because the system we rely on is mostly designed to continue the status quo, always promising solutions, but when it comes down to it, it’s the people of this Great Country that are obligated to do all the hard work.
That’s a good-thing, because historically working together has been our greatest strength. I also know it’s not just money we’ve been losing; it’s trust, but there is an old saying we can rely on; when you want something done, you do it yourself. That’s the American tradition, and that is the American Way.
Our goal is to build technological infrastructure that will facilitate on-the-ground person to person connectivity to bring competent care to seniors and our most vulnerable population in neighborhoods and regional communities across America, but that’s not all.
We are also building a system that will help the middle class self-organize around our shared principals and values in order to provide assistance to each other in ways that our institutions cannot.
We're building a technological tool for us to use when we need it—an application designed to help us heal our own communities, from the ground up.
A helpful analogy is that we are going to be the Uber of Community Care and Competent Skills; a few clicks away instead of hours, days or weeks.
We can all use each other's help for one thing or another, and the PPA can help us crowd source solutions.
Think about Uber’s example. Everyone said it would never work. "People won't get in strangers' cars. Regulation won't allow it." But Uber proved that coordination software could unlock massive value by connecting people who need rides with people willing to provide them. One app, technological coordination, real results.
The Poor People App will do something similar; connecting families who might need elder care, childcare, tutoring, health, technology, benefits navigation, handyman or whatever else someone might need, with neighbors who can provide that help.
We're at a pivotal moment where the tools to build powerful coordination systems are finally available to regular people and not just massive corporations.
The application that we’re building handles the complexity of matching, scheduling, payments, verification and so forth, so humans can focus on what matters: caring for each other and for themselves.
Our ultimate goal is to build this on modern financial infrastructure that creates transparency and community ownership, but also allows for earning money while you help your neighbor.
We plan on spending a reasonable portion of funds raised towards the legal compliance framework for tokenizing a system designed to keep value circulating within our communities instead of being extracted by middlemen.
The technology we're using can analyze thousands of government programs, match families with the right helpers, track changing regulations, and handle logistics automatically—all while reducing administrative costs that normally drain resources.
These tools exist today, and we're putting them to work for all of us.
We also strongly believe that for this to work, trust has to go both ways. One of our solutions is to create the Sentinel Program. By recruiting the people we've always trusted—retired military, law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS—we can set the standards and provide human oversight.
We want to integrate the people that have served to keep our communities safe into the very fabric of trust within this network, because we are not taking chances with the safety of your grandparents, your children or you.
In order to help reinforce the safety of this network, outside of our software security, we are building redundancies with first responders that have a lifetime of experience keeping people safe.
Our goal is to create a dedicated team specifically motivated to reach out to active and retired personnel with in-person and cyber experience to help protect local and regional networks.
Special Note From Founder:
This mission is deeply personal for me. I've lived through many of the same problems this app is looking to solve. People had faith in me during my darkest time, but it took radical transparency and discipline to work my way all the way back and earn trust.
We're raising $150,000 to build a working prototype of an application that will put these modern tools to work for all of us.
If you believe in this mission, contribute what you can.
We also ask that you join us by signing up at poorpeople.app.
It’s a simple sign up. We don’t ask for a lot of information so we can keep this part simple.
I believe that fairness is something you always have to be willing to work for, and a nation that builds together will stay together.
God Bless,
Fotios Mpouris
