Suprabowl of Kindness $2,000
Amazing Pirate Radio Fundraiser on MSP Waves
How it started
As a rare exception, @aggroed's Minnow Mayor Townhall was cancelled due to the Superbowl. Fair enough.
But a great number of MSP Waves listeners showed up anyway, so @r0nd0n and I decided to pirate radio, MSP Waves-style.
Just 10 minutes into the show, @occupywallets brought to our attention a post about a Lady who became homeless with the nefararious Child Protection Agency threatening to steal her three children.
The Cause: A Mother and Her 3 Children
It is the story like many others, of a young mother, who lost her partner, her job, her home, none due to her own fault. It is the story of @hickorymack who is considered homeless despite living in a clean RV, with her three children being clean, warm, fed, and loved. But that's not how the state sees it. CPS on her heals. @hickorymack is a hard working mother of three, no drug abuse, no neglect. All but hard work and saving funds where she can to improve her situation. Her kids are not hungry, her lifestyle is honorable.
Raising nearly USD 2,000
Realizing her plight, @r0nd0n and I decided to launch a spontaeous fundraiser with our amazing listeners. First, we took requests for donations of 1 minute of music for 0.5 STEEEM/SBD and after a short while we upped the amount to 1.0 STEEM/SBD per song minute. Not only that, but r0nd0n and I decided to match every donation 1:1 via @msp-waves.
The funds started to roll in en massee. The music queue grew messy - and we were treated to most unusual and great music that we might never have heard otherwise. But this wasn't about the music, it was about the spirit of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty that governs our community on the MSP/PALnet. The spirit of militant giving that surpasses corercion in all its forms. Everybody won last night. The amazing listeners, the Station, @r0nd0n and I, and a family in desperate need. Can there be a better way to spend one's evening?
After tallying up, we doubled the donation amount and sent it to @hickorymack. The total:
That's nearly USD 2,000 raised in a few hours.

CPS Horrors exposed - follow @familyprotection
Much horror is unleashed on innocent children and their parents on a daily basis in the West.
Overzealous bureaucrats claim to protect children, yet the state steps in when they merely disapprove of our lifestyle or circumstances.
@Candian-coconut publishes extensively under the tag #familyprotection. Please make sure to follow both accounts. Be informed, stay informed, and inform others. Lend them your support!
Once again, thank you for you being so amazing, giving, loving! And thank you for being part of PALnet and MSP Waves Radio.

You guys make me so proud! Great way to kick off the superbowl night, even though none of you were watching you were making the world a little better place. :)
This shows what can happen when folks work together. Mountains become molehills and miracles happen.
@msp-waves
Sad I missed the show, but I am glad this is happening, the story of @hickorymack was very compelling, and it actually made me sad, I was thinking that she probably wasn't going to get any mayor support, but boy was I wrong! Thanks everyone on Steemit!
Hey, I was a donor as well! I just messed up and sent it to Ron... Dang...
You absolutely were, thanks for bringing that to our attention. The post has been edited and updated.
I dunno why it would matter, but it means a lot to me, that you would amend it... <3
CPS Corruption is one, if not THE most important issue we are facing in the U.S. and all over the world right now. I know because I spent better than 10 Years battling them myself. They ('CPS', as an agency) do exactly what they were intended to do from the start, which is; tear apart families, drain their resources, drive them into the ground in every way possible, and professionally kidnap children on behalf of the Pedophile and Black Ops networks! That is what they were put into place for.
Unless people experience the corruption for themselves they tend to just assume they are really set up to help people. If I had not had help, there is no telling what the situation for my family would have been. It would not have been good I can tell you that. And getting a lawyer to represent you that is actually working for you and not the courts is another problem. They know just exactly what they are doing and they take advantage of the fact that most families have NO idea what is going to happen.
They (the agencies and courts and their corrupt doctors) know exactly how long they can drag it out in court, and many families never recover from the damage this corrupt criminal organization has wrought upon their lives.
I fought them tooth and nail. By the time all was said and done, I had had the most expensive such case in the history of the County I was in. The lawyer that finally got the shit to stop has a $10,000 retainer fee, but she shut them all right down. The last time those ass holes came to my door I had the court order from the judge... Not them! When they kept banging and banging and banging... after three times or more of telling them they were scaring my child, and friends so they needed to leave... I told them My Pittie that was snarling on the inside of the door needed to go out for a walk so they had choice to stay there while I walked it or they could get back into their car and go find someone else to traumatize.
I hate (don't like using the word but it applies here) those people. Every one of them.
SO Blessings to this Woman and her family and all of you who have helped her! It's vital to spread the word about such things so it comes to an end! Thank you for sharing some relevant links. I will have a look at them. :) If you have not heard of Former Senator Nancy Schaefer (R.I.P.) you should look her up.
#UnFucker
Such an amazing outpouring of support from the community! Thanks for all you've done to help @hickorymack. And what an awesome community we are all part of.
Hopefully this post pays out what you ended up matching (or more). Gotta keep this station in the black!
This was a very special event and I'm grateful and thankful that we could help out. Thanks to Globo and R0nd0n and everyone who donated!

Great post and good to know how the steemit community can do real world actions. Brilliant work, my friend. I would love to know how to tune in to future radio broadcasts, can you help me with this? I am no good with tech so explain anything to me like you would do to a police officer(nice and slow). Getting back to your post: This story was hard to read as it was a total fuck-up by the cps. Just shows how one poisoned word can change peoples lives in horrific ways. This wouldn't happen if our government were not in on it. Time to take things into our own hand now.
