From Zero to
Mom's House

The challenge: can we throw 1,000,000 paper balls onto the roof next door?
$1 donated = 1 paper ball on the roofI crumple it, number it and throw it, on video.
Every ball goes toward a home of her own for my mom. Will we make it to a million? No idea. Let's find out together.
This roof: 0 / 20,000 · Big balls: 0 of 50

Up on the roof
On video, every day on X. No faces, no names. Just the roof, and your number on it.
The roof today
Same roof, same angle, every day. Watch it fill up.
50 big balls = 1,000,000
The roof holds about 20,000 balls at a time. When it's full, I film it, clear it from the window and bag the balls. Then one big painted ball goes up there and stays for good.
A new color every 100,000. The last one is gold.
The cleared balls go into clear bags labeled with their roof number ("Roof #3 · 20,000"), kept in a room at home. Every full roof gets a mark on that room's wall.
Every dollar, in the open
The total never goes down. Fees and anything that leaves the account are shown on their own line.
Build Mom's house
Warm up before the real roof. Move the hand and hit Throw while the meter is in the yellow zone. Every ball that lands on the roof adds 1 piece to Mom's house, and 80 pieces finish it. Just like the real one, 20 balls fill the roof: they go into a clear bag and a big painted ball stays up for good.

The rules
The one rule
$1 donated = 1 paper ball on the roof next door. A $20 donation is 20 balls. The count uses what you gave; processing fees are shown separately in the numbers above, never hidden.
What if we don't reach 1,000,000?
That's okay. The million is the challenge, not a condition. Every dollar still goes to a home for my mom, and the roof keeps the score.
What happens when the roof is full?
About every 20,000 balls the roof is full. I film it, clear it and bag the balls with their roof number, and a big painted ball goes up for good. Every ball still counts, and the counter never goes down.
Is the roof safe?
Nobody walks on it. I throw and clear everything from the window. A full roof of paper balls weighs about 50 kg spread over the whole roof, and before heavy rain I pull the balls in and put them back once they're dry.
Where does the money go?
Only to a home for my mom. If the money is enough, we buy a house. If it isn't by December 31, 2027, it goes into the best home it can get her: a down payment, or land to build on. Whatever happens, I'll show what was bought. Not her face, not the address.
Why are you anonymous?
To protect my mom's privacy. What I give you instead is proof: numbered, dated balls, a photo of the same roof every day, and every dollar logged on this page.
Is this a charity?
No. It's a personal fundraiser for my family. Donations are gifts and are not tax-deductible.
Is there a coin or token?
No. There is no investment and no return. If someone offers you a "Mom's House" token, it isn't me.
