A Very Steemy Christmas - My entry for this contest is a woman that's really deserves it.
Hi everyone, as I write this article it's a beautiful winter morning here, and I'd like to start this new day by entering the give away contest of @kafkanarchy84, thank you for this initiative I hope others will be inspired by what you are doing.
Here is my nomination for this initiative: she's a great woman and one of the best mothers that i know. She's on steemit with the name @trucklife-family, her name is Aishlinn.
She's a woman that puts her kids first in her life, growing with them and experiencing the joy of watching them becoming healthy and strong. She also doesn't take much time for herself and like many Irish people Aishlinn finds it difficult to ask for help or support, but yet she'll be the first one to reach out to anyone in her community.
Financially she doesn't rely on governments to give her money, the kids are not registered in any child benefit system, since she doesn't agree with governments she doesn't want their money and all the hassle that come with it. The price of freedom to raise kids. She has her partner that has to go away a lot for work to fund the whole family which provides enough money to buy wholesome food, I'm actually that guy, ;-)
Steemit for her is her only social media activity, she isn't anywhere else (facebook free family). She's a genuine member that is trying to support her family the best she can with what she has.
To know a little bit more about her here are a few things you can view online :
In 2016 Aishlinn her friend and their 3 kids done a 6 weeks trek accross the Alpujarras mountains in the south of Spain
to raise money for Syrian refugees in Europe and the creative hub for home educated kids in her town. They have set up a little blog to share this journey with everyone : https://ponycaravanfundraiser.wordpress.com/
In 2017 She started a Gofundme page for her sister in Ireland who is diagnosed with cancer. She's supporting her through her healing with all her knowledge about healthy food, mushrooms, etc.. So far this initiative raised over 6000 euros something really amazing for her small family : https://www.gofundme.com/help-my-sister-heal-her-cancer.
In october 2017 she joined the steemit community and has wrote inspiring articles that really show the type of genuine person she is : @trucklife-family
If she gets this prize, in my opinion, (because I know she would spend it on her kids) she should get a laptop. Why ? She found a computer in the bins 3 years ago and it's been hers ever since. However the computer is old it needs an external keyboard to write and a fan next to it to operate , as it constantly overheats even in winter. It's really on its last leg and she doesn't have the finance to buy another one. With this laptop I believe she'll be able to write great articles and share her passion with everyone that follow her here.
I'm entering for a great woman, mother, partner and friend who inspires me and others, thank you all for reading, if you like this article you'll know what to do ;-)
