❤️ Don't sell your delegation GIVE IT! Meet my good friend @Emjoe from Nigeria! ❤️

I think what makes Steemit such an awesome platform is the ability to make connections and friends all across the world. So today, I thought I would highlight a special Steemanian friend of mine @emjoe.

(Here is his with his sister @nellyprecy)

Meet @emjoe, he is from Nigeria! We met on Steemit a couple months ago. I first noticed @emjoe because of all of the awesome comments he liked to leave on my blog. His comments were always so sincere, and I started to look forward to finding his comments. They always made me smile.

@emjoe really caught my attention when he decided to participate in @ramengirl's "Steemit Crush Competition." In this contest, you had to create a post explaining which Steemanian you would like to meet in real life. To my pleasant surprise, he wrote about my sister, @polebird, who is an amazing human being. I was so touched by his words, and I loved how he nailed my sister's personality spot on. To read the kind words he said about my sister, click here.

Our good friend @erodedthoughts also saw @emjoe's post, and ended up boosting his post, which made about $40.00! This was @emjoe's first biggest payout, and I was very happy for him.

Two days ago @emjoe entered into @dobartmins contest, "how has Steemit communication's changed your life?" If you would like to check out his post, click here. After, reading @emjoe's post, I was really overcome with emotion. I had no idea that the $40.00's made on his Steemit crush post, went to help out a couple in his neighborhood. He bought them a water tank, so they could have water. Seriously, @emjoe, you are an inspiration! It was so refreshing to see someone so compassionate and caring. Your community in Nigeria is so lucky to have you!

(This is the water tank he bought with his hard earned money)

In @emjoe's post, he did mention that he did not have a slider for voting. So, @polebird, @erodedthoughts, @acromott and I decided to surprise him. We pulled together some of our Steem power and delegated him enough money, so he could finally have a slider!

I thought I would share this story and hopefully inspire others! Steemit is only as strong as the community. If we lift each other up, we can all rise together!
