Barn Raising STEEMIT style to help a Steemian in need: @l0k1
A few days ago I was here on SteemIt and came across an article where the author was suggesting to give someone $20 and let it help someone else for this holiday season, I thought that would be a great idea, but my wife and I are just surviving this holiday season since right now she has been the only one working.
I was still thinking I would find a way to try to help someone else out this year. So today I came across a post by @merej99 where she was going to use the 50% of the post reward over to @klye who is a witness and has been needing some help. When I replied she recommended that someone could write a post to help @l0k1 who is also in need of help this year as well. I responded that I would create a post like hers.
I created this post as 50% Power Up and 50% payout, all SBD and STEEM I receive from the payout will be sent to @l0k1.
Being I have some SBD currently I will send at least 1 SBD as a minimum, so whether I get a lot from this post or just a little bit he will still receive some help.
Here are a couple of the posts made recently by @l0k1 showing his current needs, obviously there is some good we can do for a fellow Steemian this year for Christmas.
His laptop has died recently!

Here he has been sleeping outside on the dock!

He has some other stories about how he has been living, one I saw a few days back he was spending the night in an old jail cell. So thanks to @merej99 who suggested that I could write a post to help him out I decided to give it a try ans see what may come out of this.
After reading
I voted for @klye as a witness in hopes it will help him move into the top 19.
What can you do?
Well, if you upvote this post I will be sending all SBD and STEEM I receive from this post payout to @l0k1, so your vote does help.
You can send STEEM or SBD directly to @l0k1 from your wallet.
You can resteem this post to let others know about this fundraising event.
A final note!
This is a 50/50 post. All proceeds in STEEM & SBD will be donated to @l0k1.
If you like this post and wish to help out please follow @l0k1.

Just realized I did not mention I have never meet @l0k1. However proof from my wallet I sent him 1SBD, I am still going to send him all the STEEM and SBD received from this posts payout. Just wanted to show that I really have sent him at least 1 SBD.
You may want to add the #steemsanta tag to this post so that you could attract the help from more steemians.
Thank you for the great idea will add it now.
This is awesome @smysullivan!
UV and RS (and I rarely resteem.)
Thank you for the mention too. You really didn't need to do that but it is appreciated. Here's to a wonderful holiday season and paying it forward!
Your welcome, thought it would help out @Klye, and I like to give credit to where I got the idea.
I mentioned similar things here as well. Good stuff people
I how you raise a fortune, good luck :)
Not a fortune but at this rate he will still be receiving at least 1SBD I hope I can send more.
Every little bit helps :)
That is true every little bit does help.

I have been following his -- @l0k1 's posts for several weeks now, I don't remember much of when I wasn't following him, it seems that long ago lol but I know it is not.
I missed your post here on this and found it thru what you mentioned at @merej99 's page just now so came here to support the cause.
I have shared more with you privately and vice versa of what we are both dealing with -- I wish I could do more but you know I just cannot
GBY for trying to help him out -- like I said on mere's post -- you help out online a lot of people daily on here!
Your friend Barry
Thank you so much for that, I do my best. I have found it helps knowing I did what I could to help others.
This is very true. I appreciate you very much.
You may not believe this, but with all the stupid problems on here lately, it dumped you off my followed list, like a bunch of other people!!!
Are you still following me???? This is silly, some of these issues, honestly.
Some I understand...... but the followers ACTUALLY dumped...... not just the display side issues that look like they are there but are not-- is kinda getting on my nerves now.
I just had to re follow you.
Yeah, mine says I'm still following you. I been going through and manually re-following people and rebuilding my list. @timcliff said some of these issues are already being worked on and they should have a road map out by 1/1/2017 to show some of the new updates that are going to be coming.
Awesome post! I love seeing steemit supporting those who need help most! I just sent some SBD his way to help him out a bit ^_^
That is awesome, glad others are helping out. This is a great community.
Yep, I always love helping out the community! A steemian in need is one that I will support ^_^ I have been blessed with gift and now I shall bless other with the same!
