My amazing wife MediKatie is (also) a passionate activist and vlogger from Vancouver! She's a medical cannabis user who incorporates medicating into her modeling:
What DRutter and MediKatie do
Together, we run the cannamodelling team Girls of Green: https://www.facebook.com/GirlsofGreen/
We help organize the Vancouver 420 Farmers Market, a weekly protest in Robson Square with tens of thousands of satisfied participants.
We're also personally battling PTSD, chronic pain, and cancer.
We help other patients, as well as people with serious addictions to deadly opiate medications, getting lifesaving cannabis products to those who need them at the street level, often for free.
We've been fighting to end the war on drugs, and advance Liberty, for over 10 years.
We work hard every day to keep food on our table, we don't have corporate (or even family) backing, and we put everything we have into our causes.
What's the problem?
MediKatie has been excited to join Steemit for a while now. Unfortunately, we share a single phone, and we used that number to sign up for THIS account. We can't afford another.
But MediKatie was undeterred. She made an intro video for Steemit, and readied announcements to ask her following to come to Steemit! She researched, she read, she prepared. Now all she needed was the account.
So we tried a "public" phone number. Steemit said it had already been used, try another.
We asked a friend if we could use HIS phone number for it, and he agreed. Steemit accepted the number! We confirmed with the code they sent. It told us to await a confirmation email. MediKatie has been eagerly checking every couple hours.
That was almost 2 weeks ago! : (
Steemit relies on content creators. These people WILL take their content elsewhere if Steemit can't handle the pressure. This is a free market, after all! Steemit should try to do better. I said so in my post the other day: https://steemit.com/steemit/@drutter/steemit-10-days-is-too-long
We've tried asking in the chat, then we contacted "Drakos" and was directed to some "alternative methods" to purchase a new account instantly. Unfortunately, we don't have the $100+ in cryptocurrencies to pay for this privilege!
Ways you might be able to help us:
- advice, info, and ideas
- connections: if you know anyone that might be able to help us, please get us in touch!
- resteem this?
- any other assistance you can offer/suggest
MediKatie is motivated, a team-player, and lots of fun! She would be a great addition to Steemit, and I think it's a shame that a talented content-creator who is poor can't still get involved. Steemit would absolutely benefit from her being here, I will vouch for that.
Can you help me get her on Steemit?!
THANK YOU so much for your help!

Thank you, we appreciate that!
Hello drutter happy to see you join
We had the same problem, @voder signed up before I did with the phone, so I paid for an account thru steemconnect, then started with a little cash in my wallet. Anyway hope she gets on soon!
Thank you for your encouragement! : )
My advice is to check her spam folder.
Good advice, but it wasn't there.
Happily though, Steemit JUST emailed an account confirmation! Almost 2 weeks since she signed up!
@MediKatie is busy getting her first video up now : D
Thank you everybody for the help!
Your efforts must have paid off. Congrats, and Welcome, @medikatie!
The squeaky wheel gets the grease? Not sure, but thank you very much for your assistance and resteem!
You mean it wasn't squeaky enough? :D
wow she is so pretty , Hope you are so happy brother
