![Helping Others as a Habit.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfFL1uyo9BrPckyiccgN2aoW5ST7GonL8u9zL8jQDkyeL/Helping%20Others%20as%20a%20Habit.jpg)

I grew up in a home full of love and care. It was not just my parents who showed me how to love but even my relatives on my mother's side since I grew up being close to them -- well, even until now of course! They showcased to me how to love God by loving others as well.  This is maybe one of the reasons why I would never be hesitant to help others, or as much as possible, I would reach out to the people I know who are in need of help.


My mother in particular would love to help those who are in need. A sample of this was yesterday where she really took some of my clothes and ask me to choose which of those I would give to her workmate who is pregnant. She said that her workmate does not have enough clothes to wear because her pregnancy made her gain a lot of weight. Others might get pissed off from my mom's gesture, but it is not something new to me. I told her then that she could give all those clothes that she took from my wardrobe.

Anyway, speaking of helping others, I would also love to share a story of mine. Because I still have money left from the airdrop, I decided to help a friend of mine who was also making a fundraising event. The photos below are the campaign materials being posted on his social media account. If you would love to help, please do not hesitant to contact the details.

The moment I saw his post over social media, I immediately messaged him over messenger. I know I still have some amount left on my coins.ph wallet to spare.

I would really like to thank the concept of blockchain as I was able to transfer money from my account to other people. Also,  I am forever grateful for Steemit. It is not just a social media platform, but also a venue to conduct community engagements despite the distance. 

Again, if you have money to spare, it would really be a great idea to use it to build and touch lives of others!

Lots of love and care,
Johanna Gail
