I was part of something big last night breaking this morning. Something I would never have imagined possible was made possible let by a team of passionate listeners who were tuned in at the time to msp-waves Pirate Radio on the Pal discord channel.
I woke up at about 3:15am and decided to show some support to one of the Top minnow support channels on the Steemit blockchain. (PAL) and was blown aback with the results that followed.

The hosts for the night were @r0nd0n and @globi and there was a slight change of plans as it were, it wasn't just a show for song requests alone, but it was one that gave a homeless woman some major
empowerment.

How it all started

It became an emotional time for the entire house after @occupywallet brought to the notice of the house, a pressing need in @hickorymack's recently published article.

@hickorymack is a mother of 3and an owner of 2 dogs and they were already rendered homeless as at the time of the article.

As if that wasn't enough, the government, (via Child Protection Services) has deliberately tried to deprive this woman of her children even after they had put these little ones in harms way.

Well, @hickorymack did justice to explaining the situation u can check out her blog.
The decision of radio host @r0nd0n to dedicate the nights show to help raise funds for @hickorymack to help sought her out, was all that was needed to trigger just over 30 listeners at the time, (myself included), to come to her rescue.

The Strategy

In order not to distort the events lined up fjor the show, the host went ahead to take in donations and give out appreciations to donors via playing requested tracks.
I was moved to donate the entire amount in my wallet at the time even though it wasn't enough to request a song and this is were I also felt emotional as another listener @kodaxx (who almost stole the Playlist for the night with his numerous entries) made up for my donations. With a whooping 2.3 SBD

The night was both emotional and fun-filled, as my song was also played.

my song: *Heal the world by Late Pop star Michael Jackson.

This is one of those nights where I know I deprived myself of sleep for a good reason..

PAL Discord has members of vision, its clearly and boldly written in the hearts of her listeners and I was proud to be part of a team that used the decentralized medium to change a family's story.
