@stellabelle This post got me feeling all emotional right now but I can relate with not having money, its like sucking the life out of someone. As for your achievements here on steemit, I know you deserved it because no one would have done what you are doing any better.

have this silent desire to meet you one day and give you a big hug and tell you that everything you hold so dear on steemit won't turn soar rather your work will pave way for poverty eradication. optimism is key.
