It's time to rise up once more and show the world the true colors of STEEMIT! - A pay it forward post for @darthnava
Mmmkay, guys and gals, it's time to raise some funds for @darthnava!
In case you all missed it, @darthnava made a post earlier today - check it out HERE.
He has had CP since birth, but recently he has been experiencing greater difficulties from it. He went for an MRI several days ago and recently received the results of his scan. The results were disheartening, to say the very least, as they have now found a mass in the T2-T3 levels of his thoracic spine. The doctors have told him that he needs surgery within the next 2-3 weeks to remove this mass; otherwise it could spread to his lungs and heart, since these organs are in close proximity to each other.
Within 6 hours of @darthnava posting this, Steemians from all walks of life and all parts of the world have opted to upvote his post and use today's reward pool to help fund his surgery and recover. This has moved me to the point of tears today - the fact that every person, regardless of beliefs or disbeliefs, have come together to help a fellow Steemian in need is truly incredible.
At the time of my posting this, his post rewards are already up to $1,440, as well as having multiple $100+ comments on this post.
THIS IS REAL WORLD SHIT PEOPLE! STEEM AND STEEMIT ARE CHANGING THE LIVES OF REAL HUMANS!
Today we join forces and march for @darthnava!
Today we make a difference in someone's life!
Today we show the world what STEEM is truly about!
How will I help? Well, today I will release this post and 7 days from payout, I will send all liquid rewards to @darthnava to help him with his upcoming surgery/medical expenses/post-op rehab, etc.
We all know that these things can become very expensive, very quickly. How can you help? STEEM/SBD donations are huge at this point, as well as other pay-it-forward posts for him over the next few days.
Want to support @ darthnava? Head over to his post and upvote it, then upvote this post!
C'mon Steemians! Let's use STEEM to it's max potential!
Keep your head up, @darthnava! It's not over, buddy! We all love you and will do what we can to support you!
I love it when I see Steemians come together. I'm heading over to @darthnava's blog and will post something for him in the next day or two. Thank you for doing this @rigaronib - you are a great example of community awareness and love.
WOW! $6,300! This is so awesome! The Steemit community is absolutely flooring me...how incredible!
D'aaawwww! Thank you, @merej99. I will be watching for your post, no doubt.
Go for it man, my vote is yours. I also voted at the original post! That´s what social networks are good for - helping each other! Hope everything goes well on the other side of the world!
Thanks for supporting darthnava, @flurgx! You are awesome!
Hoping the best (and praying) for @darthnava. It's kind of you to do this for your friend.
Thanks for your support, @cryptokash! @darthnava and I have commented back and forth a couple of times, but I don't know him the way that I should. Nonetheless, any Steemian is a friend of mine, especially when they are in need! @darthnava has always been so positive and uplifting in his comments and posts, and he truly deserves the help of the Steemit community!
well that's the beauty of a community. You don't have to be deep friends to help each other ;)
Exactly! I agree completely!
I just saw @darthnava 's update. I do hope he gets some good news. The community's response is awesome to watch. Great marriage of technology and the human spirit.
I sure hope so, @cryptokash! I have watched his rewards on that post grow every day and every day the number blows me away! I am so incredibly happy for darthnava!
I'm sure the money helps in an awesome way. But I hope and pray he gets some upvote from above and be well.
I agree!
Well done my friend.
