Today I was lucky enough to bare witness to the positive change that the decentralized crypto space is having on the planet and how humanity as a collective has the want to come together to help fellow humans in need. The tools of this incredible event was Pirate Radio segment on MSP Waves on the PAL discord channel.
Today on the 5th of February 2018 (Australian timezone 😊 ) the well-known Pirate radio show on MSP Waves was being hosted by @r0nd0n and @Globi and all was as one would expect with the radio show playing tunes and having its usual talk show segments. Within minutes of the show being on air the focus shifted to an article shared by @occupywallets. The article shared the story of @hickorymack who had been through a terrible experience due to a series of unfortunate events and her family, including herself and three (3) children, had been made homeless. The family was also under attack from the Child Protection Services who’s actions have put the family in greater peril by forcing the family into a shelter which was far more dangerous than their living arrangement at that time. Please read her story here and upvote to help.
The radio programs hosts @r0nd0n and @globi instantly jumped into action and dedicated the show to raising funds to help @hickorymack and her current situation. The hosts decided they would take requests to play tracks for SBD or STEEM, all funds would be donated to @hickorymack AND the shows hosts also vowed to match the funds raised by donations from the crowd by any means necessary.
This is an amazing display of what is possible through the network that is being created. In an instant the people banded together and donated their hard earned SBD and STEEM to help a person in need. The empathy, compassion and understanding freely flows. The passion of the people to help others is inherent in many of the community of the PAL Discord and the MSP Waves radio station as well as the STEEMIT community. What we are witnessing is an amazing shift in the paradigm of humanity take place, this is only the beginning…
Many thanks to the people of the PAL network who donated to the cause and a special thanks to the shows hosts @r0nd0n and @Globi and pirate Radio on MSP Waves.
UPDATE

EARTHSHIPS! OFF GRID SELF SUSTAINABLE HOUSING FOR THE FUTURE!
I am planning on building a self sustaining property and living off grid with my fellow like minded peeps. Some ideas from earthships are good :) but still need some more modern features built in ;) but yes definitely .
This is what I'm about! I love it lol
we can visit each others properties when we are done building them :P where you at ? im in Australia :)
I'm in Wyoming, USA! Not building yet, but really want to some day.
Oh yeah me either, not anywhere near building yet. but it is in the future for sure. I will be more than happy to host fellow sustainable living enthusiasts so they can see how we do it and give us some ideas on improvements etc. we share, we grow, we live better lives :)

I'm so glad I was able to witness the community come together to help her and her family. Such a good cause. That's what Steemit is made to do! @msp-waves owners, and DJs do such a great job of bringing people together to evoke positive change.
I am consistently astounded with the what the community does for people and how it is impacting the world, there will be nay sayers and haters, but the proof is in the pudding :) much love and PAL in your direction
Wonderful post... restores faith in human kind.
we can achieve so much if we free ourselves from the societal norms which have been forced upon us from birth and find the congruence of who we are as human beings.
Que suerte tuviste amigo :D
thanks mate :)
Send this to the MOON!!!!!!
Did you draw this @occupywallets ? i have drawn similar in my self induced DreaMTime.
Yes!! I live in the dreamtime, just waiting for folks to wake!!!
Awesome, when i post my artwork i will be sure to tag you in it then.... we on the same page fam, lol.
It was really an amazing show!
We all did really well together!!! Good Job!!!!
The radio is supported by some amazing people that time and time again do some amazing giving :)
Would be believe i wasnt even aware that MSP Waves even existed until about 2-3 weeks ago?!?!?! but yes amazing work from the PAL network in general, MSP Waves, Pirate Radio and other stations as well and of course all the people listening, contributing and donating. GOOD WORK EVERYONE !!!!! :)
I am not surprised about this, I have been witness to the generosity all over steemit. Yes there are a few bad apples but they are very few.
When humans come together to help other humans it moves mountains*...
Yes there are many acts of kindness which can be witnessed within the steemit community and the discord channels. We have the capability to band together and help one another in so many ways, from just lending and ear and a shoulder to cry on to financial aid and assistance. There is no limit to what we can achieve if humanity works together to move forward through our trials and tribulations. Working together we can bring the peace and harmony the planet so desperately needs
Reading this again today, I have to address the amazing quality of writing happening... Wow! I must have missed it because good writing keeps us engaged, and I was close to the story... But when you start mentioning paradigm shifts I get all tingly!!! Namaste and all that jazz!!!!!
Thank you :) Yes we are in the breeding ground of awakenings here , this is the frontlines of the movement for the time being. but this is just the begining :)
if you like my writing on this then i would dare say that you would probably like this article i wrote about a week ago steemit-consciousness-is-our-currency. I do like to write on the subject a bit, but i have to dose it out considerably . Many closed minds like to troll and nit pick semantics to feed their egos. The bigotry is strong in some, lol.
I make special art for those unique individuals! LOL...
i have noticed a pattern.... you like creating currency huh? lol.
I see FIAT currency as basically worthless, so I give it extra value by Frankensteining logos and pop cultural zombies, to form a post-postmodern bugaloo of anarchic tomfuckery meant to undo all the bullshit and maybe help me build a tiny house with crypto?
good plan, if more should cut and paste the concept :)
Your post speaks to the heart of what I see here on this Steemit platform. I have no words to explain the potential of what can be accomplished and/or if there are any limitations at all.
Thank you for reading the articles and for the support you have expressed. It really is an amazing thing to witness this evolution of mankind and even better to be part of it. It is my hope that people will awaken to the possibilities we have before us and that we can bring abundance to all the people of earth. we can share our experience and blessings with others unite and become a better human race than what we are now. much love in your direction :)
Upvoted & ReSteemed your and her post.
may god good upon them. :)
Thank you for sharing the posts, lets hope that they have success in moving forward and finding a safe space and their piece of mind.
This is so cool
people power ;)
Yeah man.
Your happiness I rejoice
Thanks you
Just tapped myself out upvoting every ones comments on this post, lol. Im like...
Not who I would have chosen for a meme.
I have spent the last hour reading, from the story of the family (I noticed nobody mentioned the shit who deserted his 3 kids), to watching how so many came together to help. It is stirring and beautiful.
As for the person from Norway, I think there is nothing like keeping yourself blinkered because you fear to face the truth. Even the Norwegian gov is part of the 'depopulation' plan. The Child Protection services are just one of the tools they use for destroying family cohesion and mental health.
Unfortunately I am on a small gov grant (pension) so I cannot help in the way I would want to. Still, my thoughts and heart are with the family - and with all those beautiful souls who have helped her.
