Me and my wife went to the church this morning and upon going home, we found this woman on the street.
We felt so pity for the woman and so we go near and asked her name. She is Rosalie Lakawlakaw and she's been suffering an unknown skin disease for 20 years. She looks old but she's still 28, she looks old due to her disease. According to her, when she was 8 years old she started to have the lump in her body and after few years it already consumed her whole body as we can see in the video below.
We asked her where she lives and found out that she and her husband are homeless. During night time the couple slept at the terminal and during day time, they're just on the street asking for alms hoping to gain a piece of money to buy food.
It didn't happen to enter in her mind to have her disease be consulted for a physician due to poverty. She understood that even in thinking it's impossible for her because she could not afford it. She can hardly buy a piece of bread.
After a few minutes of conversation, we found out that she had a home but it's 8 hours away from the city but they don't have plans to go home because they have nothing to do there. Beside their family and relatives are in a doubt accepting them due to her sickness.
We felt so helpless, we wanted to help the woman but we don't have the capacity to do it. We gave donation but that would not be enough.
My wife asked me if steemit can help her, so here I am.
I'm calling those kind-hearted steemit, let us help this woman and free her from this kind of suffering if possible.
I wanted to bring her to the specialist for diagnosis and if this post will gain enough funds, if its necessary we will give her the best help she can get, granting that we have enough support.
We made a promise to this woman that we will go back to help her.
If you help this woman and her husband, you will be blessed for the rest of your life. I helped a homeless man with brain damage get off the streets and into VA housing and I currently live with him and take care of him - unofficially - as his friend, and as a result, my life has become so much a blessing. It's as if I just fell into Natural Law and am an attraction for all the right things. I am safe and protected and directed. Although I always was, now it is even better - practice do unto others as you would have others do unto you - the Golden Rule - and miracles will unfold for you and countless others...whether this goes viral on steemit or not - if you pray and ask for help from God or the Creator - whatever you believe in - you will find a way to help her - I promise.

Right now there is tons of new content flowing into steemit, you may want to do another video of her after a month or two! Don't give up.

Try changing up the tags a bit, then try again. Perhaps if you wait 24 hours, then make it your only post for a 24 hour period it may be better (I'm still learning how to maximize steemit myself!)

Video is hard to watch, can't imagine what it's like to be on the streets with an illness you can't even identify. Best of luck with this.
