DUers familiar with Wishadoo (and me), I could really use your help...

EDIT to reiterate my specific request of you all:I'm asking those of you who have followed Wishadoo over the years, or even recently, to please either post here or message me, sharing how you've been impacted or see how others have been impacted by Wishadoo -- by compassion via Wishadoo and my Wishadoo posts here -- in some way.
UPDATE: BTW, the COMPASSION REVOLUTION HAS BEEN LAUNCHED!

I've been working nonstop to get things set up to launch the Compassion Revolution I posted about on Friday: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022791653
I'm missing an important piece of the puzzle though.
One of the things I've asked people to do periodically over the years -- especially those who have been helped by others via Wishadoo in some way -- is to please type out a testimonial of sorts about their experience. Because more often than not people are in such dire straits and daily life is so darn hard (don't I know it), they have good intentions but end up never doing this.
People who have helped others are equally, if not more, impacted by the process of helping one another directly which Wishadoo facilitates via the Wishlist. That is a very common result of this process, I've found.
In order for people to see that THIS DOES WORK...that compassionate action, directly one-on-one....does create ripples of good (and it doesn't always involve money at all, simply acknowledgement of others!), and that my work and my beliefs do have value and impact, I need your help.
In a perfect world I could compile a video of testimonials...written comments, audio clips, images of people holding a sign or saying something regarding how they've been touched by Wishadoo's work.
But that takes time (though if anyone is inclined to take a pic or video clip or something expressing their view of Wishadoo, please do and send it to me!). It will remain on my to-do list for the future though.
It would take me weeks to gather the stories from over the years and summarize them in my own words.
Instead, I'd like to ask those of you who have followed Wishadoo over the years, or even recently, to please either post here or message me, sharing how you've been impacted or see how others have been impacted by Wishadoo in some way. (Wishadoo isn't limited to DU, of course; this is simply the largest community who has put it to use thus far.)
I would greatly, GREATLY appreciate it!
= new reply since forum marked as read
This was created for Wishadoo late last year. I think it will be a perfect accompaniment to the COMPASSION REVOLUTION, don't you?
While you guys think of any brief testimonials you'd like to share with me about Wishadoo (hint, hint), enjoy this video:
I want to put it on my FB page when it's available! I just joined your newsletter-for a start....
I've missed this smilie, so encore for you.
It would be AWESOME of the Compassion Revolution would go viral...the video, the page, anything. LOLOL
Here is the OP re: The Compassion Revolution from yesterday, just FYI:

Thank you, wovenpaint!!!
is exactly what we need. Good on Wishadoo and good on you, OneGrassRoot.
K&R
The compassion and caring show in every post you make! I just wish there was more I could do to help other than kicking and recommending your posts.
You're very kind, LeftofObama!
Maybe Wishadoo gives people here hope?
If that is the impact it is having, then I am a grateful person indeed.
I'm trying to read between the lines of what people are saying, and I guess that's what I'm taking away.
Cuz if there is a god, she works through other people! Thank you for your tireless effort OGR.
I have been directly helped by Wishadoo in a time of need...and have also been able to share the project with colleagues who find it amazing!
I hope it's okay, I will add this to my list of writing "to-do" stuff and send you a message/email...also, I have the desire to LINK you to my blog at Celebrating Life, since the idea of creating a better world through intentions and actions is right on the same page as my work with Circles of Wisdom 
so grateful for this amazing work you do...I know it is hard because the "lift-off" is slow going, but we are moving mountains one grain of sand at a time, sister...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for every syllable, FirstLight.
They just don't exactly know from where.
You guys do good work and t as the first I could think off to get them some help
To be more compassionate and to never take things for granted.
You are changing lives OneGrassRoot. I hope you know how special you are, how rare and lovely...
K&R
