Hi Steevc,
Yes, we are trying to serve that purpose. Using our upvotes to give to those in need!
Yes, those with a lot of STEEM can just pump their posts to the top. That is a barrier for us at the moment not being able to get on the trending pages and get our message out there!
Perhaps you could have us along with that? Drop us a follow or add us to your auto-voter?
Best,
