Powerful Answer Assists Many

Kevin Jones and Matthew Poll of Utah donate $7,000 to Hearts And Hands For Humanity — Kevin Jones and Matthew Poll of Utah | Donation to Hearts and Hands For Humanity

Imagine walking a mile daily to retrieve the water needed for your family. The unsanitary water gathered from an unclean water source where cattle drink, is the only place available to you. Consider what that same water source would mean for your children at school, where water is stored in large buckets on a dirt floor.

Then, imagine for another moment, that a new Center Earth Human Powered Drill has been provided by donors such as Kevin Jones and Matthew Poll of Day Trade for Good, a drill that is powered completely by hand – and what that means – knowing that clean water is available through the instrumentality of an “innovative drill” which is “100% human-powered”.

Hearts and Hands for Humanity

Hearts and Hands for Humanity, a nonprofit organization founded by Verlyn Harris and in cooperation with Brigham Young University, has but one dream: providing clean water for those in need. The nonprofit organization, who has now joined hands with Vasayo, a health and wellness company, have set a goal together to dig 1,000 wells so that “1 million needy children and adults who heretofore have not had access to clean water will finally have this precious resource”(Vasayo Founder, Dallin A Larsen, heartsandhandsforhumanity.org)

According to heartsandhandsforhumanity.org, “Every minute, in Africa alone, a child under the age of 5 dies due to water-related disease.” But with the help of many, “lives are saved” health is improved, food is made more readily available, local economies flourish, and children are “empower[ed] to better their lives by spending more time in school”.

Yes, lives in Africa have not only been changed; they have been saved.

“Clean water can make all the difference, and together, we can make that difference for generations to come,” states Hearts and Hands. “Not by one-time handouts, but by engaging those in need to help themselves. The solution is simple, yet powerful.”

In May of 2021, a Human Powered Drill was used for a well in Uganda. The same month, a clean water well was put to use at the Marubango Tanzania Secondary School. This well now gives clean water to both students and villagers, an estimated 2,178 people. Four wells were completed in the village of Sangaiwe the same month. This month, another well in Sangaiwe is providing safe drinking water where an estimated 2,206 villagers live.

The cost of a hand pump is $7,500, and with Day Trade for Good’s donation of $7,000, all from three months of Trader Lite fees, the newest Human Powered Drill in Africa is just days away.

Day Trade for Good Thanked for Donation of Hope

Brinley | St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

by: Kathryn Jones

Day Trade for Good was thanked by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on April 23, 2021, for their generous donation of $11,000. Donations like theirs helps children like 4-year-old Brinley with leukemia who will “never receive a bill from St. Jude” because of the caring hearts and hands that have reached out in love since St. Jude’s beginnings.

Brinley, who dreams of a career as a pediatrician and loves art, has had her cancer return twice. The second time, her family was referred to St. Jude. Brinley received a treatment plan, and housing and food arrangements – nothing at her family’s expense – because of the outreach of others.

“The research being done at St. Jude makes me believe that something good can come out of a really bad situation,” says Brinley’s mom. “We know that kids are going to get diagnosed with leukemia. So if my daughter can be a part of the bigger picture that helps other children down the road, I think that’s important.”

St. Jude’s has been treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases since 1962 “regardless of race, religion or financial status,” states the St. Jude website.

“We believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live.”

“Brinley’s family is so thankful for generosity like yours that helps make St. Jude a place where hope lives… We couldn’t do it without friends like you. God bless your good heart.” – Marlo Thomas

Day Trade for Good Donates $11,000 to St. Jude

“Finding cures. Saving children.”

Over 70 years ago, Danny Thomas, who would later become internationally known in the film and television industries, was struggling to make ends meet. He had a baby who would soon enter the world and only $7 in his pocket to place in his church’s collection box. It was only after the offering that he realized what he had done. How would he pay the forthcoming hospital bills? The following day, St. Jude.org states “he was offered a small part that would pay 10 times the amount he’d given to the church. Danny had experienced the power of prayer.”

What followed was “moderate success” and eventually, in 1955, the beginnings of a children’s hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. His dream? “A unique research hospital devoted to curing catastrophic diseases in children (and) a research center for the children of the world regardless of race, religion or financial status.”

It took a lot of work after that, a lot of money raising through Thomas’ benefit shows and meetings, visiting “28 cities in 32 days” to get things off the ground. Funding the annual operation took some grit and help from “his fellow Americans of Arabic speaking heritage,” who, in 1957, “met in Chicago to form ALSAC® with (the) sole purpose of raising funds for the support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” a hospital that finally opened its doors in 1962.

On April 20, 2021, Day Trade for Good, became a part of that dream, donating $11,000 to help children suffering from pediatric leukemias to “numerous forms of solid tumors.”

$154,000 Lights Up Many Lives in 2020

2020 in Review | Over $150,000 donated to charities by Matthew Poll and Kevin Jones of Utah

by: Kathryn E. Jones

It’s the beginning of a new year. With new beginnings comes an opportunity to reflect on those in need we have helped along the way.

It began the last quarter of 2019, with Operation Underground Railroad to end child trafficking, garnering $8,000 by February of 2020, and ended with a Sub-For-Santa donation of $6,500 ($1,500 more than the previous year) in December to help those in need. In-between, a donation to Tony Robbins Feeding America, brought in $120,000 in meals and a $12,000 donation. By summer, an additional $8,000 was gathered for Global Giving Coronavirus Relief, a worldwide crowdfunding community that assists 170 nonprofits around the world with training, tools, and support.

All this from Trader Lite Fees.

The $10, 30-day trial, is a great opportunity to “experience our product fully” before making a “larger commitment,” says Kevin Jones, founder.

The intention…is for them to be able to look behind the curtain without a whole lot of risk and decide if this is actually something they want to take on. We have a lot of people who don’t take it on. A lot of people who say no, and we’re okay with that. Because what we end up with is a customer who’s really interested in using our product to better their life.
Kevin Jones (co-founder)

Matthew Poll and Kevin Jones, co-founders, began to teach day trading in 2008. Since that time, they have helped many new day traders to get their feet wet through personal coaching sessions, live webinars, and full software access. With the added incentive to help those in need, Day Trade for Good continues to move forward.

“We’re looking for commitment,” says Jones. “We’re looking for people who actually want to put effort in so that we can create the best possible scenario with our product and with that customer.”

Founders, Matthew Poll and Kevin Jones of Utah donate Trader Lite Subscriptions to Sub-for-Santa, United Way of Utah County — Kevin Jones and Matthew Poll

by: Kathryn E. Jones

It’s been a difficult year for everyone, but daytradeforgood.com believes in reaching out to those in need. “As a business, we have donated here and there when people would approach us, about mid-2019, we got very intentional,” said Kevin Jones, founder.

This year’s purposeful focus allows beginning traders the opportunity to check out day trading – and help families in need at the same time. Donations this year were gathered from the $10 Day Trade trial package, and the added sign-up page for those who desired to “donate a bit extra beyond the normal cost of our trial, allowing our donations to be a bit bigger to great charities,” he said.

We have done several fundraisers over the years around Christmas time with food banks or Sub-For-Santa. A couple of years ago we did one where we got really specific details about the family we were helping and it just really had an impact.
Kevin Jones

Sub-For-Santa, which has joined hands with United Way for over 35 years, assists children, the elderly, and the disabled in Utah County during Christmas. “Families like Christie and her children who are without a car and trying to balance healthcare and heating costs, or Andy who was laid off from working and is trying to provide for his four children” are helped, according to Janie Brigman of United Way of Utah County.

Thank you for helping provide a memorable Christmas for Utah County families during this hard year!
Janie Brigman

Jones echoes Brigman’s thoughts. He appreciates the “concerted effort” of everyone. “Many people get involved and want to donate to our group,” he said. Next year, daytradeforgood.com is considering assisting a group called Prison Fellowship; an organization of hope and renewal that provides Christmas gifts and “faith message[s]” to children whose parents are incarcerated.

“The group stood out to me because I think if those children can feel loved and appreciated it can have a direct impact on the paths they choose in life,” he said.
