Thank you very much for your detailed reply. My wife is from the Philippines and her family occasionally needs help with medical care so I have an idea how it is over there.
I am going to consider how I can help. As you may see, I have a following of hateful trolls though so I cannot run a campaign myself with any success. They are hell bent on destroying anything I do.
Once I opened up about my faith the attacks were on in force.
I do have a site with cryptocurrency as they say but what they do not tell you is the coins are not mine to just give away. Same as steem cannot just donate coins. They are run by the system. Nor has the site ever raised a single cent in profit yet to date.
The sad thing is that cryptocurrency is down all around so it limits the value here on steemit and DIY Tube.
Again, thank you. I will think and pray about this. And take care of yourself too.
I am not aware of your past here or your belief system, it certainly looks like you have a history on steemit that has more than a few people less than happy.
I'm not interested in getting into politics, drama or religion on steemit.
I do believe someone knows someone who can be an integral part in @cryptopie's future care and treatment. It may not be you, and you may not think you know that person but continuing to share his story, particularly if you have any links to his community, you just don't know where it may lead.
The Filipino steemit community are a large talented highly educated driven group. They are an organised sub group on steemit and are very motivated to help. It is near impossible to do this from within the countries limited resources, as I'm sure you know.
Perhaps you are well placed outside but linked, to engage expat groups who have connections.
I am a realist and a dreamer. The impossible is only impossible until someone does something different. It is not a huge stretch of the imagination to help one person. Arnold is not just anyone. He is a courageous, intelligent, thoughtful, brilliant man. He has established himself on steemit and managed to provide for himself from his bedroom. He shares his most personal information with dignity and honesty and never seeks pity. He is proud and when challenged will confidently and respectfully put you back in your place with a polite but assertive, thank you ma'am.
He is destined for greatness. He needs liberating from his bedroom, but he is no charity case. Opportunity is all he needs and someone can avail him that.
I know there are so many needy people in his country, but there is a small number of wealthy and influential people. We need just one of those people to show a spot of philanthropic interest. They will gain from knowing him, I know they will. My limited interaction here has benefited me so much. If a few people dedicate a small amount of time to just sharing his blog, he has done the work, just share it. Who knows what may happen.
@cryptopie is the steemit story.
To be in a situation such as his in a developing country and be able to do what he has done from his bedroom. That's incredible.
@girlbeforemirror More than a few? Try over a hundred members of the troybusters.com forum, plus the many thousands of people he has blocked from commenting on his YouTube channel.
How many other YouTube channels do you know of that have almost 120,000 subscribers, yet struggle to reach 2,000 views on their videos? Most real channels get that many views in the first hour or so. His subscribers are almost all bought and paid for. The few real people still left are unsubscribing in their hundreds.
He greys out any negative comments, using rented Steem Power. Watch this one go pale...
He is also a member of an abusive cult church. Search for Four Corners documentary "Cult of Horrors." It was made by your very own Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Avoid this man. He's as slippery as an eel. His crypto coin is literally worthless. Everywhere, except on his own website.

Thank you for your detailed replies. I am going to give it some thought and prayer.
