Please Read! Do Something If You Can!
Hey Everyone! I am making this post and it might make a certain person mad or upset with me. As you know @ambiguity helped me get started on Steemit. I went by yesterday to say "Hello" and he told me of his plans of working to get a motorhome and just get out and really see the world with no restrictions, so to speak, as he was a truck driver and also in the military and he was told where and when and where he was going.
He loves visiting historical sites and taking photos and also doing videos to share with people. I find that really interesting as I am getting up in age and I cannot go and see those places. If he can do this I can see what those places look like and see the sites from those videos and his posts. I have lived in this small town all my life and it would be nice to see some of the places he goes and the people he meets.
Another reason he may be mad is I got ahold of a younger friend of the family and got him to post this and made it where he cannot delete this post. He has been through hell with "Can you help me with this?" on social media. So I did this as he will not because of that and he is trying to do this by himself, mainly because of the crap many people have given him because he asked for help. He said he will not make that mistake again is what he told me. It is a sad day as many veterans have experienced this when they have asked for help and I believe that is why we have many veterans that commit suicide because of this.
I will be making some posts soon and all of the Steem and the SBD that comes from this will be going to @ambiguity to help him get a motorhome or whatever he needs to be able to make this happen. I think if he tries to do this himself it will never get done. I have not told him I made this post I just told him about me sending the Steem and SBD to him as a "Thank You!" and to use it for his adventures on the road. I do not have a paypal or anything for him so I was just using what I could and that was Steem and SBD to help. All Steem and SBD from this post and all other posts will go to him to help with his adventure.
I hope this post does not cause him problems but he needed help with this and I wanted to do as much as I can to see this get done. If you do not want to help it is fine and if you decide to help with this "Thank You!". He has been through hell and it will be good to see him happy and smiling again. I hope everyone has a great day!

Man, You did not have to do this! I was going to delete but you changed things so I cannot. You are a sneaky one.
I got a lot of grief from asking for help before and I hope this does not come back to bite you or me in the butt. Not sure what will happen but thanks for trying! You are a good friend! I will be over tomorrow to help you with the tractor!
Sorry but I know you needed someone to put it out there and you needed to fuel that passion of photography before you cannot move around to do this.
I got the tractor running just needed to change the filter. I had a spare. Thanks!
Hey, y'all should start using the #upfundme tag on these posts - it's specifically a tribe for crowdfunding. I think you will find Steem to be a friendlier and more helpful place - I have seen (and received) help given many, many times here!
If you want to use UFM, the idea is that you say how much you need for your goal - while the price of Steem is so low, you may want to break it up into bits, like, you need $x for some part for the motor home or $x for the motor home itself, and so on. Then keep track of how close you are getting toward your goal and put that in your next post so everyone can see your progress (which is also why breaking it up into parts makes it more manageable, because you can celebrate reaching each smaller goal within the larger goal).
And with UFM, you also will get UFM tokens - another coin in addition to Steem/SBD. You might also tag #palnet, which can be used on any type of post, and earn PAL coins as well. All will get you a little bit closer to your goals!
Some other ideas:
On SteemPeak, you can designate someone else to get the payout of a post so you don't have to futz with it manually; upon payout, it will automatically go to that person.
You might want to check out another big project that the Steem fam has been trying to get done, and that's @drutter's posts about building a well in Venezuela. That might give you some ideas about future posts!
Good luck!!
Thank you for the information. I am new to Steemit and this will help a lot!

I had a friend help my doing some figures. It will take about 20,000 steem to get him to his goal. That is a lot. He said he remembered when steem was over 1.00. I guess that will not happen again from what I have heard. I will keep trying I just sent him 28 Steem, that is what I could buy right now. Just keep chipping away at it.
Steem could definitely get over a dollar again. The thing about the crypto markets is that they can move fast. I was here during the all time high, and six months before I joined, Steem was at 7 cents. Three months or so after I joined, it was a dollar. People try and predict it, but generally I am hopeful because there is so much development on Steem with all the coins on Steem-Engine and all the dapps like Actifit and Splinterlands (a card game). There's a lot of potential for it to grow again, and if it does, then you'll be able to do more with less Steem. Don't give up hope, just keep chipping away, is how I look at it. If it doesn't happen, oh well - but if it does, you'll be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity!
Maybe add the palnet tag as well, so you can earn a little bit more crypto on top of your steem.
Thanks! I will try that!
Neoxian also.. its a general topic tag😍
