Thanks for a great post. I really enjoyed this read. It really helps to reassure me that I'm in the right place. I joined Steemit recently, wanting to enjoy the platform for it's idealistic potential. Your post sounds like a success story of the type I enjoy hearing, not just someone attempting to abuse and manipulate the system strictly for monetary gains. Not that we don't all enjoy that aspect. Just knowing the community looks out and lifts up those that perhaps have the good karma work put in. I'm happy to hear about your improvements in not only your own life but the ability to help others in your family is wonderful beyond measure. That is incredible and just another reason I love this community. Reading posts like this make me thankful to have discovered Steemit. Thanks again for the great post!
