RE: Steem account holders have transferred over $300,000 to one Venezuelan exchange since it opened at the beginning of 2018

in #steem5 years ago

I have a couple friends that I made here two years ago who use their Steem earnings to help feed their families. I not only upvote and send tips, but I send care packages when I can. We can't send them food, or medical supplies. Who knew that cake decorating sprinkles are considered food and that cotton balls and Qtips are considered medical supplies! But I can send personal care items like shampoo and toothpaste. Shipping costs are outrageous, but it makes me feel good to help where I can! I can't imagine trying to live on $2 a month. @denissemata posts every day and has worked hard at learning to post in English. She and her mom live alone and I know she appreciates all that Steem has done for her.

Oh wow, that's really kind of you Melinda!

It's really honourable for the likes of denissemata to improve her English for a wider audience, and I'm glad that Steem has helped towards making ends meet.

I do love how easy Steem makes it to help others.
