@darthnava Update: Expressing My Gratitude to the Steemit Community

in blog •  7 years ago 

Me and my Mama last Holy Week during April at The Divine Mercy Shrine, a Catholic monument in El Salvador, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. It features a 15.24 meter statue of Jesus as the Divine Mercy.

I would like to express my deep gratitude and thanks to the Steemit Community led by the saintly @papa-pepper for resteeming my unexpected "miracle votes post", then donating liquid Steem and SBD as help for funding my planned surgery. @papa-pepper is a true saint showing the right way to help others in need. Why, if I was the Pope, I'd canonize him.

I plan to list all you guys who helped contributed in my next post as thanks. I hope it won't take too long to make it.

You guys rock!!! My post shows that the Steemit platform is a social media force to be reckoned with. That's why we Steemers only need to upvote as one and we can solve many problems even for our members in dire need!

My "miracle votes" post might have made Steemit history and I am at loss for words! The community is amazing! If, God willing, all goes smoothly, my post will be in the same league as that famous Steemer whose post got the largest payout and whose name escapes me for the moment. What a pity that it took my ailment to post about to do it.

So what's up with you, @darthnava?

The bitcoin to fiat exchange site here in my country only allows limit of up to $1000 withdrawals every 24 hours because of Philippine Central Bank regulations. That's why I'm gradually withdrawing the donated Steem and SBD.

Meanwhile as I wait for the cash to accumulate here to pay for Surgery, the doctor gave me a prescription to ease the back pains.

I will have to make an appointment with the spine doctor then to schedule the surgery. The titanium can only be ordered from Manila with the med tech representative present offering the set of titanium of various measurements for the doctor to choose from (whatever fits) during surgery.

I will keep up with the updates, my fellow Steemers. Thanks a lot again. May God Bless you all.

Great photo, I myself am catholic. God willing, your surgery will be fine. You have done half the work to get there! Sorry to hear it is not so easy to get the money out but where there is a will there is a way. Good luck.

Thank you for the update and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you and your family.

Nice post

I have always said it, steemit is more than a blog on a blockchain, it is a community of people who consider themselves family.
As a Catholic, a quick prayer for you...."we fly to your protection, o Holy Mary mother of God, despise not our prayers, in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, o ever glorious and Blessed virgin Mary" Amen.
I wish you a speedy recovery.

Welcome to Steemit, I hope you enjoy yourself in here and grow to achieve great success

I hope your surgery going well and you can get healthy soon.
I'm sorry I can't donate anything because I'm indeed a new member here.
But I will pray for your surgery.

a big hug @darthnava :-)

God bless you! Get well soon. Take care.

My best wishes with you.

I wish you a quick recovery🙏

Not sure if you got a chance to read my reply on the other post.

I would suggest that you try Yoga (Breathing exercises only) to slowdown the growth of any abnormal organ or substance in your body...

Get well soon brother

Thank you. Will reply on that post, I promise.

Hey no worries, its not a compulsion... Just wanted to pass on the message that yoga helps...

take care!

This is why I Love the Internet :D

This is the best story of the year, hands down! I wish you nothing but love and strength as you wait to undergo your surgery. You have to keep us updated @darthnava so we can all see your progress. I can't stop crying thinking about how happy you must be and how your beautiful mom must be so incredibly excited to see her child taken care of. I am so happy for you and your family. May you be well for years to come. Much love. Namaste, my friend.

It's amazing what a upvote and a resteem can do, even when you don't think it's much it can all add up when everyone pitches in we can move mountains.
Thank you for the update @darthnava, will it be enough to cover all costs, and your full recovery?

So happy for you, seen how you made out just a minute ago and I am so glad you reached your goal and can get this much needed surgery done. You need anything let me know, always down to RESTEEM you anytime. Keep that fighting spirit alive, the whole of Steemit has you in our prayers and hearts.

Brother do not worry things are okay
I hope you get the surgery and be okay brother
I asked friends for help
Do not worry, our Lord is with you

Glad to see you are being blessed so well by the steeming community. May God Bless and keep you safe Brother!

Hope you get the surgery soon and can get back to steeming painless. Keep your chin up @darthnava

Your a good man Ronald. These donations are a small return for your quality postings and engaging comments. I only just met you, but I know goodness when I see it..... GOOD LUCK.... buddy

I am sure everything will be well. I am very happy for you!

Awesome Steemit community! Love it

All the best to you, hope it all works out smoothly the way it is whished for.

Hi darthnava - You can convert your steem to bitcoin and cash out via Coins.PH. They are very fast and trustworthy. I have used them many times in the past and they offer several different methods of payment and will even deposit directly to your bank account. If you need the money for your surgery quickly that would be the fastest route. I pray for a speedy and successful surgery for you.

Yes, but their level 3 verification sucks. I'm only limited to $1000 withdrawals every 24 hrs. :(

Hope you get better soon. Take care @darthnava

wish you the best:)

Wishing for your fast recovery. :)

Best wishes and may your recovery be quick!

It's truly inspiring to see the Steemit community come together to help out a fellow member like this!
Too bad it will take such a long time to withdraw all the donations, though I suppose it's a sweet irony to exceed the withdrawal limit so many times.

I hope all goes well with your surgery!

@darthnava
Just focus on trying to feel better because that's first and foremost right now! I know that the Steemit community would receive the same love and support from you if any of our other members were in your situation.

Prayers going up!

Thanks for the update. Me (and the Steemit community) wish you all the best!!

Wishing you all the best in your upcoming surgery, and my thoughts are with you as you go through all of this. Heal up fast and get back to the world of Steemit and the amazing community that is THE heart of it.

Thanks for the update @darthnava! Praying for you for a good outcome and best possible recovery!

Good luck man, be strong. The surgery is going to go great!

Te deseo lo mejor en tu operación y doy gracias a la comunidad Steemit por su apoyo.

I wonder if you could use a bitcoin ATM to speed that up... I don't know if there are many there... they tend to cost more too... just a thought.

I will certainly continue to upvote and resteem your post whenever you add them. Truly wishing you all the best @darthnava and hope a quick recovery is in the near future!
Community members like @papa-pepper as well as everyone else involved are what makes the #steemit platform unique. A place where anyone can find an open ear that will listen or an outward stretched hand wanting to help.
@eyehid3

May God bless you @darthnava !

it was the minimum I could do for a sweet guy like you. I have a small number of followers but I have upvoted and resteemed. I am sorry I can not donate in other way since I am unemployed.

Check with coins.ph they can allow you to cashout $10k a day. You just need to follow verification to prove your identity.

No they won't. They rejected my Barangay Certificate of Residency because of no seal or stamp.

Oh, that I didn't know. Im not verified to that level yet. I just gotten my brgy clearance and glad it has seal of the barangay and the city.

I am so happy that you've been blessed so much and that you can at least have one less thing to worry about!
