Enough of the hate, Nick is doing a good thing here, could all the people that have the hate in their hearts just disappear! I voted for SHF because i, along with 11 of my friends started following Nick because we are in support of Danny, otherwise i wouldn't know about Nick in the first place (we do not live in USA). Nick is a good man! i support many charities here, i will be supporting many more and plan to donate to three on the list above.

Why will none of Danny's fans provide ONE CASE in which Gokey's charity has actually helped someone? He's been begging for money from Twitter since the show ended. He's ben the recepient of several big money donations already. WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY GOING?
req98 - 15 years ago
Paul and Allison why couldn't you just say who you voted for and make a case for them without bashing Danny and his foundation. I think that you two along with many of the other Danny haters on this post care more about bashing Danny and his foundation and making sure the money doesn't go to him then you care about it going to a worthwhile foundation period.
Allison the name that you called Danny is disgusting and comments like yours are the reason why a lot of people don't respect anything that you Danny haters have to say about Danny. Because you can't do it without calling him a disgusting name, bashing him and dehumanizing him in some way.
And I agree with JamesIsAnIdiot about that other article. In that other article the guy that was running FramesDirect still confirmed that Danny and SHF didn't receive any money from him and that Danny did not start the whole FramesDirect thing. That man had never even met Danny.
And I have noticed that James and Krisisluv, have like most of the other Danny haters not said what charity they voted for and why the money should go to that charity the most. I believe that they like the rest of the haters are only here to trash Danny, they care more about doing that than they do about making sure the money goes to a worthwhile charity.
LMAO, I LMAO at you coming in here bashing Nick for trying to do a good thing. You like many of the other Danny haters are utterly ridiculous.

Danny has been running this "charity" for about a year now (ever since he found out he would be on national television to advertise it) so can someone show me evidence of ONE THING this charity has done in nearly a year's time? The mission statement is so vague it seems like a parody site. "offering restoration in various areas of childrens lives ages 0-18". Are you kidding me? What does that even mean? And why does this "charity" have the same address as Danny Gokey's shady church?

My question is this. Why would Nick go to Danny and ask for 10k followers to follow him for 10k in charity it he wanted to give it to any other charity? He went to Danny Gokey who is running a foundation. Did he think any of those fans would vote for any other worthy charity? Did he notify any of the other charities of his offer? If Nick's intention was anything else he would have e-mailed these other charities to follow him for charity as well. If the 10k was intended for Danny Gokey he should have left it at that and said so much. Mostly it seems like it was a plan between the two of them from the beginning.

Voting for SHF is not voting for Danny... it's voting for a great NEW charity that will help many children get a better future... in many ways - including medically. Many of you seem to forget that every single BIG and well-known charity started somewhere. I am not knocking the other charities, all are great causes... and I thank God for them and those who support them. I voted for SHF...

All of the charities listed are great charities. Sophia's Heart is a new charity - so of course it doesn't have a lot of research out there behind it. All charities need to start somewhere and I believe Sophia's Heart is going to do great and wonderful things for our kids. I want to thank Nick Barnett for his continued support and for putting this money out there. We know in Wisconsin that Danny's heart in generous just as Sophia's was. There is no need for the Hatred and fighting about this. Just vote for what you believe is the best choice - not what might hurt another charity. I support Sophia's Heart and I know that if my own children were ever adversely affected by our economy or struggle through hard times that Sophia's Heart would be there and that's a great feeling!
James - 15 years ago
Janet is right. Danny's minions are posting the MTV article that said Danny had no involvement with the Frames Direct scandal, but what they are NOT posting is the follow-up article where Gokey Gear offered PROOF that Gokey/SHF had been in on the deal and gave their permission for it. That article can be read here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1614040/20090616/story.jhtml

If there is any HATING that should be going on it should be for NICK BARNETT. This guy makes MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and is making us middle class people pick a charity to send 10K too? Why not give them all 10K and you stop all the VOTING and Negativity this is causing. Seriously, what will this little 10k to each foundation do to your millions in your pocket? So instead he had to use twitter to get over 10 thousand followers to even DECIDE to do this? That is a SHAME!!!! What is the point???

I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation. While all the charities above are so worthwhile, many are established charities with many millions of dollars already in donations. Sophia's Heart is brand new and the $10K donated here can make a huge difference to them and the kids they hope to serve in Milwaukee. $10K to Sophia's Heart right now is critical. $10K to a more established charity may not make as big an impact. I have personally checked and SHF is a legitimate 501C3 charity -- your donation is safe.
I voted with all my heart for Sophia's Heart Foundation!

Hi Danny,
Please ignore all these horribly mean people. I'm a huge fan of yours, and hope that you don't let these people get near your heart. You know who you are, what your love meant and what you are doing to keep that memory alive. That's the most important thing.
See you at the last show on tour in Manchester, NH! I'll be in the middle section, row 55 or something like that. And my sister is pregnant! So look for her belly! :-) Can you tell we're very excited?????
Despite all the negativity as a result of what was intended to be a kind act by Nick Barnett, I am thankful for the poll as it introduced me to a couple organizations I'd not heard of before (Malaika for Life & curetay-sachs).
While I originally suggested Make a Wish, Habitat for Humanity & SHF be on the list of potential charities because I currently donate to all three and believe in their work, I'm thankful to learn about these other worthy organizations as well. They all have been created with best intentions and though their goals are all quite different in that some are aimed at research, some at acts of kindness to ease ailing children' final days, some are direct community support and others help the beloved furry creatures - in the end, they are all created from a place of hope and caring.
For this particular donation, I chose SHF. Not because I think they are any better than any of the others but because doing a little research led me to believe that the other organizations, have a more established financial foundation right now and this money would be helpful to them but not really have a massive impact whereas SHF is in start-up mode; they are in the process of looking for a building that will be converted into a youth center, are establishing administration & trying to coordinate all new programs. It will take a lot of work and effort and, yes, money, to take on this venture and, like any new organization, it takes people putting action to words to really have it take off.
That's why I believe most people are supporting SHF so fervently...The idea behind it is the purest form of community outreach; right now on a smaller level but with effort, the chance to be so much more than that. Not better than any of the others; just new and needing that little extra boost.
In fact, it would be great to see some of these organizations partner up to help eachother - it truly doesn't have to be a competition. It's all for the good...

Janet you are LYING.
Danny did not authorize any endorsement deal with FramesDirect and at the time MTV did those articles about it, did not receive a penny from the dude that was running it. Danny and the guy that was running that both said that Danny didn't get money from that man.
Danny fans don't suck, what sucks is people that don't even know him bashing, and trashing him, and dehumanizing him any chance they can get. People that mocked him and the tragedy of him losing his wife, and have accused him of all sorts of horrible things, and have not only disrepected Danny but Sophia and her memory. People that act like they have the right to judge everything that he does, and are trying their best to ruin a good deed like this charity poll, by spreading hated and lies about him.
That is SICK, That is DISGUSTING. You Danny haters should be ASHAMED of yourselves for doing this to Danny.

SHF does not even have a Board of Directors, thousands of dollars have already been invested in it and they have all disappeared into thin air. Danny Gokey has no time to run his foundation and any donation to it is a donation to his church, Faith Builders. This church has a proven history of extorting money from its members and promoting racism.
I believe Danny's intentions are good but he is in over his head, he has no idea how to run a foundation and currently it is nothing more than a money sink. It will never be anything more than that. Don't give to SHF, give to proper charities!!

Do you ask the same question to all the other foundations on here? By the title og your name, we can tell you are just ANOTHER DUMB HATER!!! For what little bit they have because they are so new, they actually donated 5500 to a music school to help in buying instruments?
I voted for SHF, but I am fully in support of all of the great charities. Thanks for doing this!
voted for sophia's heart!! much love to you danny!!
I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation. While all the charities above are so worthwhile, many are established charities with many millions of dollars already in donations. Sophia's Heart is brand new and the $10K donated here can make a huge difference to them and the kids they hope to serve in Milwaukee. $10K to Sophia's Heart right now is critical. $10K to a more established charity may not make as big an impact. I have personally checked and SHF is a legitimate 501C3 charity -- your donation is safe.
I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation!
West Allis loves ya Danny!!!!!!
I voted with all my heart for Sophia's Heart Foundation!
Happily voted for Sophia's Heart foundation :)
Why all the hatred? Every one of you followed Danny's link to spew hatred. All are worthwhile and needed charities. Sorry haters, my vote goes to Sophia's Heart.
If Nick Barnett ends up giving 10,000 to that Sophia's Heart scam, it will be hilarious. He will be the laughing stock of America if he lets some horny, lonely, pre-teen girls convince him to hand over $10,000 to their favorite reality show contestant. LOL
I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundtion
I've selected Sofias Heart in honor of Sofia Gokey. With the proceeds the charity will continue to do good work and help the life of a child or a family for the better. This would be a wonderful way to kick off the charity on a grander scale. Good luck to all the charities....in a perfect world all the charities would receive something (?). It's truly hard to choose!!
Just letting you know my vote 4 sophias heart is genuine :)
If there is any HATING that should be going on it should be for NICK BARNETT. This guy makes MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and is making us middle class people pick a charity to send 10K too? Why not give them all 10K and you stop all the VOTING and Negativity this is causing. Seriously, what will this little 10k to each foundation do to your millions in your pocket? So instead he had to use twitter to get over 10 thousand followers to even DECIDE to do this? That is a SHAME!!!! What is the point???
I would like to see the 10k go to Sophia's Heart Foundation!
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT SOPHIA'S HEART HAS RAISED TO DATE HAS GONE? CAN ANYONE SHOW ME? ANYONE?
I voted!
Sophia's Heart Foundation. :)
Hi Danny,
Please ignore all these horribly mean people. I'm a huge fan of yours, and hope that you don't let these people get near your heart. You know who you are, what your love meant and what you are doing to keep that memory alive. That's the most important thing.
See you at the last show on tour in Manchester, NH! I'll be in the middle section, row 55 or something like that. And my sister is pregnant! So look for her belly! :-) Can you tell we're very excited?????
Take care,
Jeannette

Despite all the negativity as a result of what was intended to be a kind act by Nick Barnett, I am thankful for the poll as it introduced me to a couple organizations I'd not heard of before (Malaika for Life & curetay-sachs).
While I originally suggested Make a Wish, Habitat for Humanity & SHF be on the list of potential charities because I currently donate to all three and believe in their work, I'm thankful to learn about these other worthy organizations as well. They all have been created with best intentions and though their goals are all quite different in that some are aimed at research, some at acts of kindness to ease ailing children' final days, some are direct community support and others help the beloved furry creatures - in the end, they are all created from a place of hope and caring.
For this particular donation, I chose SHF. Not because I think they are any better than any of the others but because doing a little research led me to believe that the other organizations, have a more established financial foundation right now and this money would be helpful to them but not really have a massive impact whereas SHF is in start-up mode; they are in the process of looking for a building that will be converted into a youth center, are establishing administration & trying to coordinate all new programs. It will take a lot of work and effort and, yes, money, to take on this venture and, like any new organization, it takes people putting action to words to really have it take off.
That's why I believe most people are supporting SHF so fervently...The idea behind it is the purest form of community outreach; right now on a smaller level but with effort, the chance to be so much more than that. Not better than any of the others; just new and needing that little extra boost.
In fact, it would be great to see some of these organizations partner up to help eachother - it truly doesn't have to be a competition. It's all for the good...

Dont worry have your back. Look at my post going to this idiot Janet. Like everyother hater, they will be proven wrong! They are all IDIOTS!!
I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation. :)
The whole team at the office voted for Sophias Heart today!
The only Douche's are the ones hating on Danny and what his foundation stands for. Just vote for what you want and SHUTUP! Every single foundation on here had to start somewhere!
I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation. it is a great charity that Danny Gokey started for his wife. It is a wonderful foundation.
Janet you are LYING.
Danny did not authorize any endorsement deal with FramesDirect and at the time MTV did those articles about it, did not receive a penny from the dude that was running it. Danny and the guy that was running that both said that Danny didn't get money from that man.
Danny fans don't suck, what sucks is people that don't even know him bashing, and trashing him, and dehumanizing him any chance they can get. People that mocked him and the tragedy of him losing his wife, and have accused him of all sorts of horrible things, and have not only disrepected Danny but Sophia and her memory. People that act like they have the right to judge everything that he does, and are trying their best to ruin a good deed like this charity poll, by spreading hated and lies about him.
That is SICK, That is DISGUSTING. You Danny haters should be ASHAMED of yourselves for doing this to Danny.
Sophia's Heart Foundation money goes directly to Faith Builders, a money worshipping cult who forces children to perform musical numbers in BLACKFACE. It is awful that his charity is even being considered.
I cast my vote for Habitat, even though they weren't able to help me, someone got the blessing.
It's so sad that real charities are going to miss out on this wonderful opportunity because the childish fans of the Singing Douche want him to actually win something for a change.
I would like to see half go to St. jude childrens hospita and the rest to go to Sophias Heart in honor of Danny Gokey's wife Sophia.
VOTED FOR SOPHIA'S HEART
I voted for SHF

Here is your articel Janet that you said he was supposedly busted in! Not one thing you said is true! Again all you dumb haters/bloggers need to get a life and quit spreading your lies!
Charity is love healing the world. Why don't we each vote the way our heart dictates and allow everyone else to do the same? Everyone cool with that?
I voted for Sophia's Heart :)
I voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation. One heart touching many. :)
vote for anything BUT Sophie's heart foundation It is winning in the pools simply because of gokey's run on AI and his fans are blindly voting for SHF pleas his charity isn't even unique its just for helping kids that are depressed and into crime we have school shrinks we don't need that charity vote for a group that can actually help kids
I voted for SHF.
SHF does not even have a Board of Directors, thousands of dollars have already been invested in it and they have all disappeared into thin air. Danny Gokey has no time to run his foundation and any donation to it is a donation to his church, Faith Builders. This church has a proven history of extorting money from its members and promoting racism.
I believe Danny's intentions are good but he is in over his head, he has no idea how to run a foundation and currently it is nothing more than a money sink. It will never be anything more than that. Don't give to SHF, give to proper charities!!
Voted for Sophia's Heart Foundation. www.sophiasheart.ORG
For those of you questioning the legitimacy of SHF, please read Anna Castro's and Susan's posts above. They pretty much say it all. This organization will not only help children & families with social and educational issues but will also help with MEDICAL issues as well. To me, this makes them a very worthwhile organization.
Thank you, Nick, for your wonderful generosity!
I voted for SHF
Sophia's Heart is the way to go on this.
I vote in favor of Sophia's Heart Foundation because I love the diversity of this charity. The efforts (shelter, scholarships, medical relief etc) of this organization benefit many children & their families. What a blessing SHF is to those who need direction & guidance. I thank God for Danny, Sophia, his family & all who make up Sophia's Heart Foundation.
I voted for SHF, in memory of Sophia Gokey
