Well hello! I'm glad that you've stumbled into my charity. I'm glad to have you. You're probably wondering though, what the heck does YOLO mean? Well, it is from the rapper Drake's song 'The Motto' and it means 'You Only Live Once'. I was inspired by this phrase for a couple of reasons:

1. You only live once, so why not go big? Quest for every item you've ever wanted!
2. You only live once, so why not help everyone you can during your life?

So, now that you know that, you might want to know who is running this charity? Just shake your head up and down, it will make me happy. 3nodding
Well, my name is Sarah but you can call me Nerd, NerdE, or IAmNerdE...I'll answer to any of that. I'm twenty years old and am in my sophomore year of college. That means that I may not be online as much as I would like because of homework and the like. (Sometimes Gaia overrides homework though >.< ) I am an environmental studies major and a political science minor. Hmm, if you want to know anything else...just ask!
Just so you know, I'm still questing while I'm running this charity, therefore all donations should go to and will come from xx. That is the charity mule. It's good to have the funds seperated so that you believe I am using them for the charity and so that I don't get them mixed up.
If you would like to swing by my quest thread, I would really appreciate it. The link is in the affiliates section, or in my signature.

Okay, okay. I'm finished talking. Now onto the stuff that you really want to know about, how to get the gold.



Charity Funds: 260,000 gold

Yep, even though you only live once and you should live life to the fullest and all that, you still have to have rules. We don't want to live in chaos!

Obviously, follow the Gaia ToS. That's the main thing.
Respect me, for sure. But you should also respect everyone that comes into this charity. In other words, do not flame/spam/troll/bump when it is not necessary because that makes it hard for people to chat. Also, do not beg anyone for gold. This is a charity, there are forms that you can fill out for organized begging.
Try to remember to keep the quote trees small, it helps keep the thread looking nice. Sometimes I forget myself, but try to keep it to three quotes maximum.
No advertising. If you would like to have your banner in the affiliates section, PM me. Otherwise, you can have banners in your signature or small links in your posting style.
Be as literate as you possibly can be and keep the cursing to a minimum.
Post all applications here, I will find them. There is no need to post your application multiple times. In fact, if you do post your application multiple times you will be added to the blacklist. Do not quote your application either. I will see it. That's my job here. Duh.
Do not post an application until you have posted at least ten times in the thread. These posts cannot be bumps. I know a lot of charities have this rule, but I just think it will show who is truly dedicated to their quest and who is not. Seperates the men from the boys and such. There is one exception to this rule. You may submit the 'hit-n-run' application, but I would love for you to come back and say 'thank you' at least.
In your application you'll need to have a secret phrase. The secret phrase is not 'YOLO'.
You must accept your trade within seven days. I don't want to send out trades to people who do not get onto Gaia very often, because I just don't think that you can be very dedicated to a quest if you are not on Gaia. There can be exceptions to this rule, send me a PM if you think you are an exception.
Oh yea, do not PM me for any reason. Unless I tell you to.
All trades will be from the charity mule: YOLOcharity (once the little guy is old enough to get his trading pass. If you apply for a donation before this time, I will either send the trade through this account [IAmNerdE] or will wait).
The secret phrase is 'that's the motto'
Please do not send me or YOLOcharity any friend requests unless you have actually talked to me for a while. I love friend requests, but I love them from people I know..
I have the right to change these rules as neccessary and to make up a rule on the fly if I feel like it.

These are some of the most amazing people in the world. They have helped keep this charity alive. Without them, we couldn't possibly help gaians in need. Thank them if they are in here, but do not beg for gold from them. Do not PM them unless you know them.

Storytime- Fairy -- First Donation! Thank you!

These are all of the gaians who this charity has been able to help. Do not bother any of these people either, they did what they had to do to get their donation. If you did not get a donation, don't be jealous.

This is the most important section to anyone who wants to get a donation. Except for the rules, of course. There are three different types of application forms. Check and see which type you are eligable for.

The Newbie Application
This application is for anyone has been a member of gaia for less than three months and less than one-hundred posts. You still have to follow all of the rules in the rules section, including the posting part. If posting in this thread were to put you over one-hundred posts, that should be okay. I'll be able to check. Fill out the form completely, making sure to delete anything inside of brackets (they look like this [ ] ) and the brackets themselves. Not the ones that have the b and the /b...those are for formatting. Do not change any coding. Use complete sentences.

This application can be submitted up to two (2) times. It must be for different quests though. Must be at least three months old on Gaia online. You must have a quest page. The quest page must have at least twenty pages and be kept up to date. I want to know that you will at least be using this gold for an actual quest, not just coming in and grabbing gold for the heck of it. You do not have to post at all in the thread to receive apply for this type of donation. I would appreciate a thank you though. Fill out the form completely, making sure to delete anything inside of brackets (they look like this [ ] ) and the brackets themselves. Do not change any coding. Use complete sentences.

Here are the amazing contests! There are a few rules you must read before getting to the amazing contests, I'm sorry. First and foremost, you must have at least ten posts in the thread before you can enter any contest. Only one person can win each contest, at this time. Only one win per person, at this time. Either of those rules may change if I decide that they should. Also, if there is a conversation going on in the thread, please try to be apart of that conversation. You can still put the bump and the number in your post, but have someting else in there too. Send YOLOcharity, the mule account, a PM with the page number that you won on. So, I think that is all you need to know. :3 Good luck!
