I have known about and have commented on her blog for a few months and first got lured to her blogs because I have lived in Lanzarote and am a surfer myself but stayed for her sparkling personality and mentality.
I have just watched the live stream from steemfest and the presentation that she gave (great job by the way, loved the movie)
But now she has not only provided steemit with a lot of cool and vibrant posts but she has started her own charity in cooperation with the local Red Cross. So be sure to check out . This is set up in a way that will allow local underprivileged children to experience surfing and the ocean in a way they never have before. Marly has even used 1500 of her own SBD to start off the whole thing and set it up.
Today she has also vowed that 100% of the revenue of the account will be used to promote and help the charity in a way that can only be done on the blockchain: transparent and without waste
Now the charity has only made 4 posts so far but they have already sent 2 groups of kids into the water to experience surfing for the first time
Now I myself am just a minnow in this Steem ocean and my vote is only worth 0,03 cents at the moment but my pledge to her was to set up steemvoter to always upvote all the posts made the dreamsoftheocean account at 100% even if my vote worth goes up a lot. So with this post I am encouraging others (that means you steemians)
For those who do not know Steemvoter or how to set up your account go to https://steemvoter.com/ and login with and this will allow you to set up certain rules that will automatically upvote an account when they make a post at the voting weight that you want.
so here you can see my setup for the charity
see my comment and pledge here
We are all here to write about what is on our minds and the views we have and even hopefully make a few cents on the side but these are things that are worth our vote especially if you see the amount of spam floating around.
Already people are giving donations to the cause as can be seen here by bitrocker2020
I have seen some prominent Steemians like ,
,
,
and many more voting for her but maybe they could join me and make it a permanent thing.
I heard asking how he could help, but maybe this way I propose will be better in the long run then a one of donation (although everyone can do both I guess)
So all the SBD made on this post will also be added to the charity...
STEEM ON and lets give away some dreams of the ocean together...
