Shout out to few Steemians

Two months ago something amazing happen to me on Steemit. I commented on one of @hendrix22 post about hard life I had last year since my dad pass away. Along pain from losing my dad, I also was in big financial problems. I didn't have place of my own, so had to pay rent every month, but I just lost my job, my laptop broke and didn't have money for new one, had to owe some money to survive, so I was in debts...long story short many problems in same time.

Without me knowing, he set up fundraiser for me to help me get new laptop. That really touched my heart because I never met the guy, we only know little bit about each other thru Steemit. I found out for fundraiser by accident, only because I wanted to nominate him for something so I was looking for some of his posts. The fundraiser was going great. It raised over 50$ at the time when SBD was +/- 7$ if I remember correctly. Without curation rewards it was around 280$ raised.

'Unfortunately' @hendrix22 started flagging @haejin at that time, so donkey in revenge flagged few of his posts. One of those post was fundraiser for me. (Only moron flag fundraiser). I was disappointed that happen, but @hendrix22 and his wife @lyndsaybowes showed their great heart and decided to send me money from fundraiser out of their own pockets. (Community donation is from @lyndsaybowes)

Because they gave me money from their own pockets, I made deal with them that I will accept their donation, but pay them back one day. (Fuck you low price of SBD now!) LOL Also few Steemians send me donation to my wallet.

With few bucks earned on Steemit I was twisting around crypto market + this fundraiser, I was able to buy PC, big screen and pay some of debts I had.

I want to give a shout out to all people who upvoted original post. Don't know how to see all upvoters, but here are some of them:

EDIT: @hendrix22 put list of all upvoters in comment section.

The biggest shout out to this big hearted Steemians I want you to follow:

@hendrix22

True great spirit of Steemit... He set up a lot of great Initiatives on Steemit:

- #thegoodnews Gazette - Your Weekly Good News Paper!

Content of this newspapers are great inspiring stories he came across on Steemit. So far there were 7 editions of this newpaper: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Last edition of this newspaper was month ago, probably because @hendrix22 is stuck in 'war' with @haejin, so either don't have time for newspaper or don't want to do it if post will be flagged by the donkey.

Anyway check out this newspaper because you will see some great ans inspiring stories. Hope this newspaper will continue to print...

- hendrix22lovesyou

Great initiative that aims to help anyone who need help. His idea is that you explain why you need help for yourself, family member, loved one, neighbour, stranger etc. and tag the post (preferably the first tag) #hendrix22lovesyou. That way he will upvote and resteem your post, so others can upvote it.

*NOTICE

@hendrix22 is now in the middle of flagging 'war' with @haejin, so he is not in opportunity to help you with #hendrix22lovesyou initiative. War in quotes, because he is just doing right thing. Posting about his initiative so you know how great he is. One day donkey thing will be over and I'm sure he continue this great initiative.

@lyndsaybowes

Lyndsay in wife of @hendrix22 (lucky bastard). Don't know are they competing who gonna be better because it seem so! 😍 She showed her heart in many occasions (I know just few of them). In her own words she is homesteader, musician & activist for every cause in the highest good. She is truly great angel of Steemit. With other great things she is doing for Steemit, she made:

Operation Human Angels initiative.

Goal of this initiative is you to leave empowering messages around where others will stumble upon them. You can write on paper, and hide the notes around. You can use a post-it note. You can sidewalk chalk. You can paint rocks and leave them in locations where the perfect soul will find them. So she can find your post just use #OpHumanAngels tag.

Few weeks ago she made song 'Stop Killing Our Friends' You can see post and listen the song here: Link

@sallybeth23

When @hendrix22 set up fundraiser fro me, few Steemians send donations for me. One of them was @sallybeth23:

To be honest don't know much about her. Just know she must have great heart if she decided to send money to complete stranger. What I know about her is that she live in Costa Rica. Few days ago I went to check her blog and was amazed by her photos. She truly live in paradise. So much beauty that misses in city surrounding. Here are just few of amazing photos:

So beautiful, I told you so. If you want to see more of it, just follow @sallybeth23 😉 🦔 🍍 🍉 🦅

@phuzz

How Steemit can connect people showed me guy from Jordan. When he saw @hendrix22 fundraiser, he decided to send me 5 Steem with this beautiful message:

I did reach out him to thank him for donation. I remember asking him about some alt coins because I saw on his blog he was in trading. He always politedly gave me detailed response. Great guy!

Unfortunately I see he is not active on Steemit for a month. But anyway I would like you to follow him because he deserve it and hopefully will be back to Steemit.

@boontjie

Also, great generosity showed someone behind profile @boontjie.

Few days ago while I was checking his profile and it had 0 reputation. I saw someone mentioning it was hacked. I tried to contact this person, asked few people do they know who it is or what is his new profile, but no one knew. Just now I saw profile is running ok. Don't know who it is, but I'm sure someone with bad intention wouldn't send 22 SBD to total stranger, so please follow him! 🙂

EDIT: He is working as help out on some of the coding stuff on Qurator Bot.

P.S.

I will also invite you tomorrow to follow two great Steemians. They both had and have tough life. Will do separate post for both of them because they deserve it. In those post I will explain their situation in details. For now this:

@kida

@kida or he/she call him/herself Kid A is victim of ritual abuse from pedophile rings. Kid A bravely shared some of hard experiences. Don't know why Kid A quit Steemit, but I hope he/she will be back. Maybe reason Kid A didn't feel appreciated enough here. So please read experiences and give support to @kida.

(Don't know is it he or she because of anonymity and safety he/she didn't want to give details)

@cryptopie

To be honest I cried when I saw posts from this guy. He is brave dude!!!!!!! He suffer from many bad medical conditions, but he is not giving up. He is posting updates about his conditions every day here on Steemit. To me the biggest inspiration I came across on Steemit. More about him in post tomorrow, but please check him out now and please give him support!

Love you all!!!!
