5/6/25 - I HAVE DECIDED TO STOP THIS PROJECT BEFORE IT EVEN BEGUN
Although i think i had good inspiration… i've had to do some internal introspection, i probably went a bit far with this idea thinking i could save the day and have something go viral and change lives for a very specific cause.
In terms of my personal life, and i am not saying i am more important than them, but i have to think about my circumstances
- My Girlfriend's father is literally dying in a hospice right now, sadly from terminal spinal cancer which is brutal….its escalating quickly and i NEED to be there physically and emotionally for him, HER and everyone else, this isn't going to get better and this will consume our lives for the next couple months, i also do not want to take time away from this situation and my girlfriend…. i love her.
- I have no job right now and no source of income, im broke af. I do have a business i've been spending over a year to try and get off the ground to cover my rent (it makes £600pm at the moment lol and my rent is £1450) and stupid debt repayments (which are double my rent)… ideally i'd love to make enough money to let my girlfriend stop needing to work while this is all going on with her family…. i know im close to being able to atleast cover my costs with some deals ive been working on… if i stopped this effort personally, i risk not sorting my own life out, making my own bed, taking care of my girlfriend and preventing any future efforts from manifesting which i have already thoroughly planned to help the world…
- I have plans to start D0N8R eventually which is a charity focused company and software which i THINK and FEEL could enact change on a WAY MORE global level. I made a business plan in 2021 for it, its solid and a great idea and eventually when i have some more resources, experience and money i will go back to it…Rather than a specific cause, D0N8R will help all the causes, via the public's votes and donations... And this company i believe is my life's goal and passion, i've been feeling that for over 5 years, which is the longest i've ever stuck with anything… it's a bit wider in scope that what was this spur of the moment fundraising idea… Id rather be known for that, than raising what likely would have been a few grand and attention to a one time spree that didn't really work… i will raise millions with my ideas… mark my fucking words
- Maybe i could bring back 'sendtheboats' when i've made D0N8R as one of our specific chairties and turn it into a global charity. Im not exactly going to forget about this.
- Even if this idea worked, i'm terrified of the idea of having to face the worlds media and be 'that guy'… i could probably do it, but i think i need to work on myself alot more, and maybe to be fair thats not gods plan for me
The inspiration i felt… the idea that i could captain a bloody boat all the way to israel and put my life on the line for what i believe like a modern day jesus…and what compelled me… i think is just part of my humanity, my love for others and desire to care and make a difference… maybe there's a bit of 'i want to be that guy' and ego that crept in, i don't know, maybe i think too much, maybe i just want to feel useful to the world…either way i'm not perfect and theres alot of work to do in my life, and on myself to achieve the dreams i have… and i truly believe i do have alot to offer in this life, but right now there's things i need to address a bit closer to home.
Greta can take the risk to her life, fair play to her and i hope she makes a statement that shows that we need more compassion in life for others, and exposes the evil that leaders have been enacting through their agendas and regimes - Im going to just do my part, keep sharing what i believe to be wrong, and donate my own money where i can to things i believe will change the world.
God can shine through us. Embracing that feeling of good, and turning it into positive action is THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. I won't be shamed for following my heart.
P.S - I'm a bit of a weirdo and a bit of a notetaker (obviously, i'm writing this in a fucking hospice)…i record little moments, I write things and sometimes i do good things and sometimes stupid things, but i keep them to look back on, i want to be able to see what i did… even my attempts, failures or learnings… so i will leave this website live in its entirety, nothing has been changed apart from me writing this when i changed my mind.
It cost me £10 and only some of my time to make, and will cost £15 per month, which i trust in the universe i will be able to pay even if im broke and £50k in debt lol.
Maybe no-one will ever read it and i take this to the grave…. i didn't tell ANYONE about it (except my girlfriend, but i tell her everything i think and she's a diamond for tolerating or even supporting my madness)… maybe they will read it, maybe i'll only share it after i've achieved my dreams… then they can see how i was just a silly young man doing silly things with a good heart, maybe i'm trying to make up for my own flaws… but is that such a bad thing.
Or maybe they'll think i'm mad and crucify me, anything is possible in this world, nothing is guarenteed… apart from time will pass and hardships will come.
It's your attitude to that which will make or break you.
And im not gonna beat myself up for having a good idea.
If you do read this, let me know… we can laugh about what an idiot i am
This is me right now in the hospice, i need to go get dinner now and say goodbye to this idea
5/6/25 - Been thinking alot about if this is feasible or my approach to it in the background.
5/6/25 - Made the gofundme campaign and donated £25 to start things off, a little hesitant to start the social media video… i don't want to look like an idiot and raise nothing so maybe i can get a few donations on gofundme alone.
5/6/25 - Spent the morning supporting my family member in the hospice and talking about a wedding which will may or may not go ahead because of whats going on, doctors wont let him go home, things are not good at the moment, there is alot of pain and discomfort
5/6/25 - Edited the website to make it more realistic rather than 'super big dreamer' and the writing less impulsive lol
5/6/25 - Woke up after a terrible nights sleep, my eyes were twitching even thinking about it… this has happened before with random business ideas i've had in the past and normally i go with the motivation and just start doing things (like i obviously did last night) and normally sense kicks in sooner or later and i follow the voice that says to continue… which normally doesnt last long… but this morning i still wanted to make it happen… i saw how Greta is encountering drone surveillance and threats of Israeli action and arrest… and if i'm honest it has kindof put me off even being bold enough to even commit to something that will probably never happen.

4/6/25 - Got home for the night and couldn't sleep so i bought sendtheboats.co.uk for £10 and made this website in a few hours because luckily my side hustle taught me how to make websites. I wrote it myself, no ai, no help, just wrote what felt right at the time.
4/6/25 - Thought about how i would try and make a video about this idea to my measly 400 followers and the public.
4/6/25 - Recorded myself ranting about it the idea for personal records. Something to look back on.
4/6/25 - Had a bit of a reality check about realistic expectations and thought even if i can't do more than greta hippie thunberg… i can still raise something that will make a difference, even if its £1000.
4/6/25 - Mind went racing with the idea of how it could actually possibly work and how i had absolutely nothing to lose TRYING
4/6/25 - Saw greta thunberg and her hippie mates take a relatively small boat that will barely do anything, on a mini but meaningful crusade and got inspired by the idea of a 'D Day for humanity', and how i'd love to help something like that happen (which is a wild idea for a random guy in england who is not greta thunberg or anyone relevant), or at the very least raise some money to the cause of helping those that are suffering.
4/6/25 - Came up with the idea whilst staying with family at a hospice, it has been a rough week personally for many close to me and myself included, i was scrolling my phone as i stopped for a minute, and came across more exposure to what is going on in the world and the atrocities of this genocidal war.
