So this is going to be a long story, but a good one. A little over a week ago, @Run2Christ was given an eviction letter from the devil himself, which was going to cost 666 GBP to pay. So R2C was going to sell his video equipment to pay the bills, effectively ending his YouTube career. I and others decided this was not acceptable. So I did a little fundraiser hoping to show Steemit could save Run2C's youtube channel. Well as it happens God works in mysterious ways, and through donations the bill was paid thanks to the graciousness of R2C's supporters before the steemit payout on my post: https://steemit.com/run2christ/@titusfrost/please-help-save-run2christ-from-eviction-and-keep-his-youtube-channel-alive
So with that situation paid for, the money could have just gone to @Run2Christ for his own personal use. However this dude is way too strong in Jesus Christ for that. So R2C decided to use the funds to help a friend of his from Myanmar.
You see in Myanmar as pictured above, the poverty is far more extreme than in America or the United Kingdom. In this part of the world the money we raised can literally feed an entire Church for Christmas. Run2C's friend (name withheld for personal privacy), stated his church needed about $300 GBP to get the money together to buy Christmas Dinner for everyone at the church. Well because of the high SBD price, I was able to turn the post value roughly $47 on Steemit, through Bittrex and then to Coinbase into $335.38 GBP, which is roughly $35 GBP more than what was required.
So through the power of Steemit.com we have provided the money needed for a Christmas dinner for an entire Christian Church in Myanmar.

So the very children you see in this image above are the children that thanks to steemit will be having a Christmas dinner this year.
The above post made 19 SBD and 19 STEEM, so I kept 9 STEEM and added 9 SBD of my own (SBD is worth more fiat currency right now). Then Run2C sent me 30 STEEM and 5.7 SBD to add to the cash out. On @Bittrex I was able to turn the SBD and STEEM into .024 BTC. Then I sold the BTC at roughly 19,500 per BTC.
This gave us $464.27 USD which then I transferred to @Run2Christ on paypal, and it turned into $335.28 GBP because of the currency difference. However that should be $35 GBP more than what is required. I sent the paypal to Run2C this morning. I retracted his email address for privacy reasons, but you can ask him to confirm if you don't believe me...
So pat yourself on the back Steemit, the users did something really nice for someone they had no idea they were going to hep. This Christmas an entire Church of Christians will get to celebrate and eat, and that is the best news I have heard in quite some time. Steemit is literally making the world a better place this Christmas.
Cheers everyone and have a wonderful day!
