A Huge Thank YOU!!!!
Thank You to All of You Who Supported @cefralelo
As I am writing this, our friend @cefralelo is hopefully in recovery after a successful operation. Or she is just about to be operated on. Whatever the case, please send all your best thoughts and prayers to her for a speedy recovery.
That she is there is one of the miracles of the Steemit blockchain. We, as a community, stepped up and helped a person in need that most of us have never met or know on a deep personal level.
What we know is that there are many people in the world that need help. We also know that we can't help everyone but we were able to make a huge difference in this woman's life.
If you are not familiar with our effort, here is the first fundraising post. expired - do not vote on it.
@cefralelo's post explaining her situation
The Journey
The first information we had is that we needed 150 Steem to cover the operation. Well, a few things happened. First, there were more cost involved in doing pre-op exams and work on teeth the doctors insisted on. The operation got delayed for a week.
During that time, the inflation in Venezuela reared its ugly head and the cost doubled. And what did Steem do? We all know the answer. It tanked. Suddenly, we only had half of the cost covered.
But we soldiered on.
@cefralelo asked for a loan from his employer and I kept asking you to support the effort with your donations and upvotes.
With the combined efforts, the cost of the operation is covered and all we need now is to raise some more money for the aftercare. How much, I should find out soon.
Thank You!!!

Thank YOU
As you can see by the many uneven amounts, many have emptied their wallets all the way and I think that shows how generous all of you are!!
Upvotes
I also want to thank you for the big upvotes you have given to my fundraiser and to @cefralelo's posts. Especially @donkeypong showed a lot of upvoting love!
The posts I did as a specific fundraiser reached about 16 for one of them and the other was around 2 or 3 - I forgot to take a screenshot of the rewards when they were current. But I have been treating all my post as fundraisers - so to speak. My husband also agreed for me to exchange some fiat and send what was needed to cover the cost.
Big shout out to @ecoinstant who helped me with the exchange.
I send 130 steem to @cefralelo so far.
