It is going to be difficult to believe you for someone who got involved with bitcoin in 2010 but you just registered in this forum in May 2019. This looks scammy.
Don't judge based on OP date of registration on this forum becasue my own case was like that, so many of us knew Bitcoin without getten involved into the happenings of this forum. I possessed Bitcoin since 2015 but got into this forum late in 2018 and stay active in 2019, please based on your rank, it will not be professional if OP is be judge based on his/her registration date without looking into what he/she stated as a good course for him/her to donate.
Nothing in OP looks scamming and let's not discourage Op becasue of our instinct toward him/her.
