Just popping back here to resteem this post. Thank you so much for your help. UPDATE: Some gracious Steemian donated the 6 Steem to my account to pay for my friend's account. I have yet to track down and thank this person but am on my way to do that next.
I've e-mailed my friend to give her the news and offered to help her get set up. What a great community platform we have here. Am more thrilled with the Steemit opportunity each and every day.
At some point since I was here last, I've read up on the Witness Program and yes, you are a perfect one to vote for. Thanks again!
Thanks for your support, you are welcome - I 'm glad you found a way to resolve the issue. :)
