The Official Relocation & Development Fundraiser Goal Complete Post! W00T! (100% Power-Up Post)steemCreated with Sketch.

STEEM and it's Community are DAMN GOOD to me!

After setting my $1500 moving budget goal I'd estimated at taking nearly the greater part of the month, in actuality this feat has been accomplished in 4 days. Honestly can say I underestimated the communities response by about 97%. You've made my year..!

How bloody stressed out I was before I knew I'd have enough money to move was nearly driving me insane. Having been homeless in the winter before while playing the cool exterior I was having a minor mental breakdown internally.. But with the help of an amazing community (this one) my eviction woes are far less life threatening than they were.

With the Help of Steemit.com and it's Generous Users I was able to Raise a Little Over $1500 CAD in Only 4 Days to Move Into the City After Being Evicted!

We Saved my Ass..! But Others Still Require Help!

While it's still not 100% confirmed I've found a place to rent at least the funds are there to look for places and I've started sending out emails. I'm a fair bit more fortunate than some on STEEM. A number of our users are facing crisis at the moment and could use a show of support as well. While not a complete list a few usernames I'd like to bring to everyone's attention so you can go check out their blog and see their situation:

@l0k1 - @shla-rafia

Please show these guys some love as you've shown me. <3

If you know of any other Steemster going through some rough shit and facing homelessness please comment in the section allotted below! My fundraising campaign was successful and I see next to no reason why those listed above shouldn't be a success as well. We are a community, We take care of our own. These guys need a wee bit of help to get them away from homelessness and into jobs so they can live prosperous futures. :)

Shout out to @merej99 for her Hard Work Barn Raising!

My philosophy is that no good deed go unpunished! (not sure that is the word I am looking for, lol) @merej99 has been working her ass off creating great posts helping to raise funds for those in need. I'd personally like to thank her publicly here for all the dedication and hard work she puts in helping others on our network!

A Massive THANK YOU to Everyone Involved!

You are all the best! Collectively STEEM has some of the best, brightest and kindest people on the internet. I'll continue to keep working on the projects for our community to keep adding value to the network.. And by adding value to the network will bring more value and wealth to it's users. To all the kind hearted Steemsters out there, Thank you for caring about me.

This is a 100% Power Up Post! Thank You Everyone!

TL;DR: Steemit.com and it's Users are AMAZING!

A Proud STEEMbassador of Canada

Thank you for your votes, the opportunity and support!

Sort:  

@klye - thank you so much for bringing attention to the others who are facing pretty dire consequences. WOW - it's truly amazing to see how everyone's come together to make your transition a smooth one. Hopefully you lock down that place. XOXOX

Looking feverishly now.

Just doing my part, The community bands together for me and I for it. :D

You do great things here merej99. Thanks for that!

You do, do great things here (do do ha, sorry bart simpson moment) glad to hear it worked out @klye, way to pay it forward :)

::giggle snort::
You said do-do.

If I wasn't consciously avoiding text slang I would LOL at that! There is nothing funnier than snorting giggles, the word snort itself is just hi-f-ing-larious!

Oh and by the way, I learned how to use markdown, and it's all thanks to you, Yay! You mentioned it in one of your posts and I thought, "Time to exercise your puny left brain."

Markdown makes a HUGE difference in posts and comments! Just shout out if you need help. I've been trying to coach a friend who is new to Steemit but he's like a serial note-taker. Problem is - he's always losing his notes. LOL

Good for you buddy, Let's see what we can do for the other's that are in need of help :)
Looks like a full boner meter. Time to fuck shit up now :P

Is the Goal meter that phallic?! I was trying to make it not look like a big ole red wang. ROFL.

Why does everything I draw end up looking like a penis ffs?!

LoL no it's probably just me seeing like that

Cannot unsee the dick now. ROFL.

May as well leave it.. Nothing like a goal boner to show success!

It is really pretty amazing what this community is capable of. The community is Steemit's #1 asset.

Between the community and the underlying blockchain tech.. Looks like a solid future.

RS and UV for you. I am glad it worked out.

Sorry I cannot do more but a few people here know what I am dealing with health and $ wise after the car ran me over but man, I am so glad to see this for you.

From one #Canadastan brother to another --- I really am glad for ya.

Thumbs Up to everyone.

Thanks barry!

Holy shit a car ran you over?! Where is the post for that?!

There isn't one. I have not made a public "post" about it anywhere on social media so to speak. For lots of reasons.

Every once in awhile in a trusted source where I feel comfortable -- I mention it if it fits. Usually in places where I would normally help out someone but mine has drained me. It involves cover ups and collusion in the public sector and that is another reason I keep it quiet.

As an activist I am aware I am being targeted and leaned on and this is the latest example.

TY for asking. Not many people care, I have noticed that.

can't believe something like that can happen to anyone. Sorry to hear that and I hope it all works out for the best in the end man!

I know, I have terrible luck and Jesus. I have never been able to reconcile the 2 LOL. I enjoy seeing things work out for others, I always have.

Have a nice weekend!

awesome stuff.

Was so afraid to ask for help on the issue.. After seeing the community band together to help get me a new place to live after being evicted is a HUGE morale booster. Now I've only got to worry about finding a place within my budget range and the finishing the projects I'm working on rather than crapping myself at the prospect of being homeless during Canadian winter again.

Cheers Solarguy!
