I hope that works out for her! We can't really help too much with followers, but we can send a few votes her way to help out. Wouldn't want her to rely on it though!
We have a soft spot for anyone suffering from government (or particularly, monetary) problems. Inflation is the government's secret thief. It's one of the reason I love crypto - controller inflation that everyone knows about in advance.
I feel the same way. I love that Steemit provides a way to help like this in a small way. It would definitely take her some time to build up a following, not relying on votes from a single source. But the fact that someone in a hyper-inflating economy can have access to a stable store of value through the internet, plus an ability to earn income, is a beautiful thing.
