Please allow me to bring you to tears over what YOU steemians and our community can do together! (Payout declined - go support the enclosed post!)
Hey again steemitizens
YouAreHOPE Townhall will be back on the air tonight at 8pm EST/ 12am UTC but first, Please allow me to bring you to tears over what YOU steemians and our community can do together!
I owe you a ton of posts from my six country world circumnavigation steem promotional tour of the past two weeks, and I've missed you all. Those stories will come out with the photography and video over the coming week or two ahead.
Also, I'll also be resuming the Steemitizens of Steem show on Sunday as well, and I can't wait to talk with you all again!
BUT FIRST BEFORE ANY OF THAT, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS LATEST AGENT OF HOPE UPDATE
I just received this report from our latest communal effort in Nigeria via @Aydayodeji and you won't believe what he was able to do down there with the generous help of you, dear steemitizen friends.
Please allow me to make you shed tears. The @YouAreHOPE Foundation has just completed it's largest piece of work to date, with the aid and direction of a most amazing young man from Nigeria, named @aydayodeji.
We've done a lot this past 5 months with the steemitizens around the world...
We've fed hundreds of orphans with thousands of kilograms of staple foods in multiple countries across Africa, Latin america, and the Philippines, we've provided hundreds of children with book bags and school supplies in the most devastated of economies in sub-Saharan Africa, we've provided seeds to the hurricane devastated farmers in Puerto Rico, we've funded wells in Sri Lanka during a massive drought, sent aid after the volcano last month in Indonesia and many other things that still seem surreal to have happened on my watch...
but we've never done anything like this before.
This barely tells the whole story, but the whole story would break your brain cells down into slobbering mush.
When we got word a baby had died of malaria here and his mother was on the verge of death still as well, while the entire flooded village remained at risk from more of the same, we went to work, I raised about $1000 usd in steem currency and got it to my brother "Aydayodeji" in Nigeria and he got busy with his friends and family to get this place sorted out.
Mosquito netting for the homes, fumigating the entire village for malaria laden mosquito mitigation, medicines for the sick and vaccines for those yet unaffected, and the ditches, oh lord the dirt they moved.
Check this latest YouAreHOPE Agent of HOPE update out. PLEASE!
The thought of avoiding another case of losing a child to malaria gave me the motivation I needed.The whole clean up opened my eyes to so many societal problems we overlook. A man approached me and offered to help pack the dirt for any amount so he could feed himself, this brought tears to my eyes before I could say jack he already took the wheelbarrow. - @aydayodeji

^^^ SHOW THAT POST ALL OF YOUR LOVE - THIS MAN IS SO SELFLESS AND FULL OF HEART AND COURAGE AND NO ONE DESERVES THE ACCOLADES OF THIS COMMUNITY MORE THAN HIM TODAY! ^^^
We spent a lot of time discussing this and there was a lot of tension and fear going in...
But as they say in Ghana - Bibia Be Ye Ye!!!! (Everything will work out!) and it did!
I am so proud of you @aydayodeji! I am humbled, and so very proud to be allowed by the grace of God to know you and call you brother and friend.

I'll say it one last time here - I am declining payout on this post, so send your love to the story linked above instead, please and thank you!
I refuse to take credit for all these, just doing my part with the support of @youarehope to make a world a better place. I challenge us to push ourselves to the limit to help others not for the sake of self glorification but to impact and change lives. I know we all have our personal needs but I live by these words “givers will never lack”. Do not overlook that problem or person in need ,do the little you can do. Thank you all for the love just doing my part, please do yours
Great work @ayodeji. Thanks so much @sircock for supporting hopeless people and giving us all hopes. If you’re to be termed a god amongst humans believe me no one will dispute it . You’re a leader to recon with , you’re a mentor unto so many other so called leaders who only wants followers for selfish interests. I checked this post and I see that the pay out was declined, I paused and wondered for a minute why but it occurred to me the type of leader you are and that saved me quickly from the trance I was entering into .
I’m saying this from deep down my heart.
THANK YOU SIR .
Oh you and the misspelling of my name I will never live down hahaha! Fine then, i can't spell your name either anyway. LOLOLOL :D <3
And thank you for the kind words, my friend! <3
I’m really sorry @sircork... my bad . You’re welcome sir. You can simply call me Mide sir ... smiles, most friends on Steemit says my name is a botanical name lmao
I find it pretty funny. Not offended at all. But i noticed you had done it before as well, and I commented then too, so I thought you were just running with the ongoing joke! :D
Much love brother, and thanks again for your amazing and kind words!
Awwww, I didn’t notice sir . The problem is the auto correction on my phone lol. This auto correction could actually get one into trouble lol. I imagine you’re non understanding, you might feel I’m doing it on purpose just to make fun of you and you might just have flagged me down by now lol. You’re welcome anytime sir. I know you might not remember me as much but remember you corrected me on some wrong doings on discord and since then I’ve been following you closely cause I appreciate how you put me right and not treat me in accordance to my wrongs. Wish you well and continue the good deeds , humanity is watching and will definitely repay you. Merci
i get one out of ten right, half of the time anyway.
glad it worked out, and thanks for the kind words!
It's amazing how @youareHope is doing so much in alleviating poverty and firestalling environmental change,
I could see the first picture and I wonder the disease that would've been water borne, but honestly this is the first of this I'm seeing on steemit this is so amazing @sircork
It was the mosquitos in the water that posed the risk. Thank you for your kind words. Please go love on that post!
Certainly sir I will
Hey mr sircork you're doing a GREAT job.. Cheers
Aw shucks, Thanks! But I don't do the things, the Agents of HOPE do. I am just a servant to them.
It's so amazing to see the good work you are doing @aydayodeji we are so proud of you. @sircork i cannot thank you enough for all you are doing for the community most especially giving hope to the hopeless. So good to have you back
Massive hugs man, I wish you could have just hopped into the plane and come with me, we would have had a frigging blast chewing down expensive cabbies and forcing them to become our new friends! :)
I just went there.
Voted, followed and resteemed.
Thank you for bringing this people and initiatives to our attention. Thank you for making things like this possible.
You are the very definition of steemian I hope I could be someday.
You are already that steemian! Just keep on keeping on and spreading love!
Legendary work by @aydayodeji who by all counts went above and beyond doing this incredible heavy physical labour. You can not fail to admire the tenacity and dedication to his cause that he kept working at this no matter how hard the work became. And outmost respect goes to @youarehope for providing so much funding so quickly and without question. All round festival of awesome people doing incredible things.
#thealliance
A festival of awesome people. I like the sound of that!
So glad you're home safe, @sircork, and to hear the positive influence @youarehope is having around the world. I've given the linked post 100% upvote, which isn't a lot, but one of the things I love about Steemit is if I keep doing that, it adds up. It gives me a way to contribute. Thank you for pulling this together, and helping us all pitch in to make life better for others. I am so glad to support this project!
Thank you for the kind words, and yes, every vote matters! Appreciation is so much more valuable than money. <3
