Its not everyday that you meet a person who is willing to lend a helping hand despite the time that you have known each other or the distance that separates the both of you. Here is a true story of how a man about town has changed and touched the lives of steemies like me. A proof that this community is indeed not only about blogging but it is also a helping community.
This was a reply I got from Sir when I posted my #ULOG Day 24: One Down, One to Go! last 3 days ago.
I started blogging in steemit last January 2018 and little did I know that joining this platform can have a big impact on my life. I met writers, traders, tech savvys, programmers, gamers, new friends, mentors, etc. but most of all, I was able to meet people who are advocates of kindness and generosity.
Last month, my mother told me that she visited an eye doctor and the doctor told her that her cataract is getting worse and if not treated immediately it may cost her eye sight. She got worried and of course she was also terrified of what could happen to her if she did not follow the doctor's advise so she decided to tell me about her cataract. At first I did not know what to do because I dont have enough cash to proceed with the surgery. Since I was already in steemit, I tried posting blogs and dedicated my earnings for my mom's surgery. Until one day, a good steemit friend told me about the idea of having a fund-raising thru
. From then on, I was able to raise funds. Help poured in from generous steemians including sir
. He was so generous enough that he almost took care of everything that I needed for my mom's operation! And that my friends is just the beginning of my story. By the way, you can read about the successful operation of my mom on the ff links:

is indeed a man of his word. When he told me that he was going to help me raise funds for my mom, he sent help right away no questions asked. I am truly honored and humbled to repay his kindness hence, all the earnings of this post will be sent to Sir H.G. as our token of appreciation. Thank you our dear friend H.G. and as we say it in filipino, Maraming maraming salamat po!
