How it works

Three simple steps.

01

Enter

Eligible participants join the active drawing. It's free and takes about a minute.

02

Draw

One participant is selected during a live community drawing everyone can watch.

03

Rally Together

The community gets to know the selected participant and comes together around their story.

Why Dollar by Dollar

A single dollar may not erase someone's debt.

Thousands of people choosing to help together can make a meaningful difference.

This project is about community, empathy, transparency, and helping one person at a time, no judgement, no fine print, no catch.

Important Disclaimer

  • Anyone who is a member will be entered in the draw each week.
  • No donation is required to enter or remain eligible.
  • Donating does not give someone extra entries or improve their odds.
  • Members are randomly selected each Tuesday, and a new drawing opens each Wednesday. Selections are made using a randomized digital drawing wheel. ONLY I WILL MESSAGE, informing the selected people of their selections and asking if they would like to be left anonymous or named/tagged.
  • After selection, I will create each selected person a Spotfund link. The selected peoples' Spotfund fundraiser links are then shared as a single post. Payment apps will flag payments as fraudulent activity, so I will not be promoting the usage of these. Spotfund does not take any fees, other than credit card processing fees (which I hope you all are not using). SpotFund will be active for ONE WEEK.
  • Members may voluntarily donate $1 to one or more winners.
  • Donations have no effect on who gets selected next.
  • Drawn members will be re-entered 12 months after being selected.
  • I will NOT be selecting members based on need, who has been in the group the longest, your personal stories, or anything other than a randomized digital drawing wheel. All of your stories are difficult and it is not my place to determine whose story is "worse" than the another's.

Questions

Good questions, honest answers.

What is Dollar by Dollar Relief?

A community project built on a simple idea: lots of people doing something small together can make a real difference for one person. Each drawing selects one participant, and the community rallies around them.

Do I have to create an account?

No. You can enter as a guest. An account just makes it easier to see your entries and reuse your details next time.

Can my real name remain private?

Absolutely. Use your first name, a nickname, or initials as your display name. Your legal/contact name is only seen by the organizers.

Do I have to share my story publicly?

No. Sharing your story is completely optional. If the host invites you and you say no, that's okay, it doesn't affect your selection.
