Update From @cecicastor , taken from my DM's on discord.
As most of you know our good friend @cecicastor is living in Nicaragua and the country is falling apart even more each day. The following is a direct message from Ceci I received on discord. I am sharing it here so you can read in her own words what is taking place down there. Please keep her and her family in your prayers if you would.
From @cecicastor:
"I have managed to get a phone although it is very simple I at least can keep in touch with my son and granddaughter. Things here get continually worse. Water is being cut off in intervals of a few days at a time. Same for electricity. Monday the power went out out for 36 hours. No power no internet. The Internet is being given throttled and we have many days of none. Food prices continue to skyrocket as do medicines if you can buy them. Doctors are working illegally as the government fired them all for nonsupport."
"The grandfather of the people that are living with me passed away and we needed to bury him as the funeral homes are closed. I will try to get to a computer soon so I will do an up date post if I can. Yesterday they were testing canons close by. The whole house shook and everyone was terrified. They are gearing up for a much bigger war than we have. Army trucks were on the road let night at two thirty . And they have been testing sirens too."
"I need to go now, but I will try to stay in touch. Thanks for your support my friend. pray heart"
Please share this with all your friends that may know Ceci.
All earnings from this post will be donated to her.
You can find the community announcement on Discord :) and it has also been shared on our Steemit Bloggers FB Page and Twitter feed.
I've not heard from @cecicastor for so long; I was worried that things had taken a turn. What a messed up world to say the least. Sending big hugs her way; thank you so much for doing this @sultnpapper ... this is the true purpose of steemit <3
Thanks for your support Lynn. She is great person and I knew that there would be people that would want to know her status. I also figured she couldn't contact everyone so I felt it needed shared for sure.
This may not be the true purpose for steemit but it certainly is useful for this situation for sure.
You're most welcome, and you're right ... I'm sure there's plenty who wondering about her and her family.
Ok, how about one of the true purposes ? :)
I think one of the true purposes is to get us out from under the control of central banks and government controlled money. There may have been a time and need for them in the past, but no longer. They have proven to be nothing more than a bunch of greedy bastards that operate with only their greed in mind and with complete backing of the governments who they control with lobby money and bribes. That would be my top one "true" purpose if I had to come up with a list.
Horrible situation, maximum support given. It's not much, but every bit counts...
Thanks @bengy , she is a great lady in a tuff situation. I am glad that the entire #steemitblogger community is getting behind her in support.
Thank you for keeping us updated, I've been thinking about @cecicastor a lot, must be terrifying living like that! Will keep her and the people of Nicaragua in my prayers.
Thanks you for the support and prayers for her and the people in Nicaragua. That situation has to be just a terrible existence to be living in for sure.
Prayers to her.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure!

Oh wow this is awful! :( Sending prayers and full support over there. Such a destructive world we live in
It is awful for sure, thanks for your support.
I hope they are OK . Not a good situation to say the least
The situation has been in steady decline for the last eight months that I am aware of and it continues to get worse.
Bloody hell, what a dire situation and @zen-art said it well. Sending my positive thoughts over to the people over there.
Thanks Nicky, your support is very much appreciated.
I haven't heard from her in so long; or saw any posts coming from her.
Her, her family and the people within her compound are continuously in my thoughts.
Thank you for the update
Thank you, they need all the positive thoughts and prayers they can get right now.
