If everything goes smooth we'll give the money collected (about 50% of the sum needed) to Bojia next Wednesday (February 17, 2016). I'll post scans of the donation agreements short after that (3 agreements - one for USD, one for BTC and one for XMR, all of them exchanged to BGN. Personal data will be erased where appropriate). I'll also post video/photos of the donation when those are ready.

Help an 80 years old women Bojia Bikova to pay her fine for a few uprooted strings of hemp. She has to pay 1100$ fine, which is near the amount of pension she is receiving for the whole year. 3 min video about the case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmGkti9uUQ Bojia Bikova campaigns: USD: Indiegogo - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-old-mother-to-pay-her-fine-for-hemp-possesion--2#/ BTC: Bithope - https://bithope.org/campaign/help-the-old-mother-bojia-campaign/ XMR: promena.org (OpenAlias address)
On February 17, 2016 we donated the money to Bojia. Video (Bulgarian, no subtitles yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMDEsgnDQ_4. I could also post the donation agreements and the receipts if someone is interested to see those (personal data will be erased where appropriate). Screenshot: .
The Indiegogo campaign ended on on December 2, 2015 with $376 USD in donations. The bithope campaign is still on 0.0402 BTC and the XMR campaign is still on 134 XMR. Coverted to Bulgarian Lev (that's what the fine should be paid in) on today's rate that makes 810 BGL (45% from the 1800 BGL needed for the fine). We are still accepting BTC and XMR donations and we'll soon decide what to do next.
This answer may remain hidden in the forum so I'll repost it here: If she don't pay the fine in a few months they could try to sell her part of the house. I can't be sure how this could evolve in a year. They can't take her pension, because it's below the minimum threshold.
Thank you. We are at 371$ + 134 XMR + 0.0402 BTC. 12 days left till the end of the campaign. I'll keep you updated. The "good" thing about the fine is that the lower court decision was 80 years old Bojia going to jail. Now it's only the fine.
What happens if she doesn't pay the fine? Jail time then?
