THANK YOU!

Upvote and resteemed... This is the best way I can help...
Your post really touched my heart... I wish I could do more..

Thank you very much, it means a lot to us. Much love.

Indeed, thank you very much! I had no idea he was planning to do this and admittedly I'm a little shy even a tad bit embarrassed. But we do greatly appreciate the support. Thank you again :)

Thank you for using @resteemr.

Thank you all for the support we really appreciate it. Since he wrote this without telling me he didn't have all the specific details surrounding my case. I had surgery when i was 2.5yrs old and while it was considered a complete repair I began having difficulties when I entered university.
I was fortunate to have the surgery covered by the Gift Of Life Foundation when I was a child, however at age 18 when I began having serious palpitations and random fainting spells I was over the age limit to qualify for any further aid. They did however offer some assistance in attempting to find me help elsewhere, but without the means to pay for the tests we are back to square one.
I have spent years going to the local hospitals and clinics, in addition to paying for innumerable tests that have not been able to discern the actual cause of my black outs. They do however suspect that it is an electrical issue.
I wrote this reply really for everyone who reads this post and think its a scam. My husband went out on a limb to put our story out there and since we truly have nothing to hide I am supplementing his post with the medical documentation required to verify its authenticity. thank you all again for your kind words and well wishes. Peace! :)

I wish more people would upvote this comment and help push it to the top, it's clearly more important than the current top comment.

Don't donate any money to @crystalhuman he will scam you. He's playing on love and passion card talking how his wife is sick etc. , but he's completely liar and a fraud.

Do not trust him and downvote his posts.

https://steemit.com/love/@ascendedmonkey/for-all-those-haters-who-think-we-have-time-to-waste-lying-about-my-health

Maybe someone neutral could call, that hospital, or in some other way verify that @crystalhuman & @ascendedmonkey's case is real, just to stop this trolling, I resteem some of these personal charity posts and upvote.

But many times I am still in doubt, are the papers real? People take pictures in a hospital with a big bandage, (in the back of my head I can hear some doubt, maybe it's a fake bandage, I want to see under the bandage, etc)... I would personally gladly send some SBD's and more actively push this campaign if I was a bit more convinced, but that might just be me I guess I also have some trust issues I guess...

https://steemit.com/love/@ascendedmonkey/for-all-those-haters-who-think-we-have-time-to-waste-lying-about-my-health

Not that i think you're a hater. Just trying to rectify, and considering it is REAL I'm a bit touchy about it. There's obviously a reason why @steempromos has a rep of 1, while @crystalhuman is currently a 46. Just saying

@ascendedmonkey
Im not a "hater"?
Just think that it could be of value to figure out a way for you and your husband to prove that the condition was real to us and also verify that the money collected would go towards medical treatment. Exact amount and clearly stated goal. We would also like to see the receipt afterwards and maybe even pictures of the scars if there is an operation. I know it sounds frustrating, but credibility leads to bigger investments and engagement.

Show you her scars? receipts? For all of the $67 they made on their posts?
And what did you do to contribute? Click keys on the keyboard? Let me ask you? Did it hurt?
Seriously, go away, you’re an idiot!

Thank you for your input @crystalandbones.

This is certainly a better cause than 99% of the crap I see making it to the trending page.
Obviously, it’s real! Get the fuck out of here with this worthless comment!

I am sorry you feel this way @crystalandbones.
I was only trying to give some helpful hints on how to obtain more money fundraising, many people here have both health and financial issues, what makes people want to contribute to a certain cause is credibility and a clearly stated goal/goals and also some promise of a follow up. I also did contribute a little to @crystalhuman & @ascendedmonkey's case... I would really appreciate if you could leave me alone with insults and such, you are barking up the wrong tree here, only trying to help.

Very lovely couple. Wish you well.

Thank you very much

Karma will punish you @crystalhuman for scamming that you do, and then you're spending all money people send you for self promotion of your other posts. How is that saving for your wife morron.

Scammer.

thats the passport from when I went to Stoney Brook Teaching Hospital in Long Island NY. The head Doctor who worked on me was a man named Dr. Ambrose Vallone. The Trinidadian doctor that diagnosed me is a Dr. Balbirsingh who is still currently located in the town of my birth Tunapuna. Look him up and call him. PLEASE. I DARE YOU

I understand that yes persons scam people on the internet all the time, but I have ALL the documentation because it IS me and it IS true. So you could feel free to rectify your statements before someone else DOES go and research it further. Because all they are going to find out is that the only person scamming is YOU, trying to get away with what little we do actually have thanks to other steemians. Have fun enjoying the shit storm that's coming your way homie. Truth doesn't need to defend itself, but I can put all my medical reports up here if you'd like.
Doubt you'd be able to read it though, because being a doctor is obviously NOT your forte. Feel free to return to talking about shit you actually know about like how to steal people's money. Cheers PUS!

I sincerely wish every happiness and good thing for you both. I wish I could provide all that you require! Travel the road safely and be well!

To those who question whether these kids are telling the truth, I understand your cynicism but wouldn't you rather show some faith in human nature occasionally?

These kids have made every effort to show good faith. I see some people wanting to see "receipts" and "scars from the required surgery when it is done".

These kids seem to be offering a lot in good faith to prove their bonafides. It might be nice if they could be afforded a little privacy and dignity in return.

Thank you so very much for this comment, you have no idea how comforting it is. Since the day with all the 'scam' talk got thrown around I havent been on this thread because it was just too painful.
People have been really nasty about the whole thing and im a very shy person. Which should be obvious considering I've never set up a gofundme of my own. Having to undress for your husband to take pictures of you and share it on the internet isnt fun, infact its humiliating for us both.
Thank you for believing in me and for defending my honor when it was much easier to simply call us liars without doing proper research.
The people who simply chose to assume and openly call us scammers not only marred my character but also actively hinder the possibility of me getting help from those who can and would otherwise be willing.

I really wish there was more that I could do!

I have passed this on to others and I do hope that, if nothing else, you get positive attention and encouragement from them also.

Do not let the naysayers get you down! The internet makes bullies of many who simply need to bolster their own inadequate egos.

Yes there are people who run scams on the internet; There are bad people everywhere.

It is a sign of great weakness in people that they assume that everything is, therefore, a scam. We should feel sorry for them as such unfounded suspicion and negativity about everything must make their lives a pretty ugly place.

You have no reason to be ashamed and every reason to proud of your approach to this.

Be strong and know that you are in the hearts and minds of so many people who wish you only good things!

Thank you so very much. And you're right, from that point of view their lives must be pretty dark if they assume everyone is out to get them. I didn't even consider that before. :/
Your kind words and perspective shift have done much to ease my feelings of unrest. It has been a challenging road but people like yourself have made it a much gentler ride; you have my sincerest gratitude.
Namaste beautiful soul. :)

@crystalhuman,

I feel an attachment to you and @ascendedmonkey. I really hope you find all the support you need.
I wish my vote could do more for you. . . .

But I have faith in the steemit community. Keep us updated on how much progress you are making with the @ascendedmonkey 's surgery, travel and needs.

Try to ignore the hate speech, (this world will always have people who aren't willing to trust you) so @ascendedmonkey (don't get too frustrated). . . chill, some of us will love you even if we later found it was a scum [I personally really believe you guys and sympathize with your situation]. Love is a choice each person has to make; trust can be earned but it is still a choice to determine when you think someone has earned your trust. [some people just haven't learnt to give trust; because really I don't get it!!! if you are lied to and you upvote someone YOU REALLY DON'T LOSS ANYTHING monitory. All you loss is some personal pride and a sense of having been dump enough to believe it. Consider the opportunity cost; is your feeling of being scummed really worth the loss of someone's love of his life?) guys. . . .really? (let's be human and just upvote)

@crystalhuman @ascendedmonkey
Do well to enjoy the love and time you have; don't put off your good moments because of difficult times. All in all it is the cherished moments and memories that make our human lives worth living. AND I TRULY SEE SOMETHING GREAT COMING YOUR WAY. . . . .a steemit miracle

Thank you. This is an extremely appreciated effort.

Thank you so much, it has been a difficult life thus far but I am hopeful for the future. Ive spent years trying to cope with the possibility that I would never be healthy enough to have kids or get to travel the world, so I am admittedly very sensitive about it.
Just aiming for a fighting chance to make a real difference in this world before I have to leave it. And thanks to people like yourself my chance just got way better. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Beautiful couple. Best of luck. Upvote and Resteem done.

upvoted and transferred some crypto to your btc... get well soon and good luck...

Thank you so much! We are more than thankful :) It's not there yet but it probably just takes time. I will let you know once it arrives. Much love!

I think maybe you made a mistake :( Still nothing and it should at least be pending. Hope you didn't lose any money. Take care. Thanks for the thought.

So very sweet. I've resteemed.
May she get the help she needs to be strong and well!

I wish you both the best of luck. Namaste.

Very much appreciated @anarcotech.

wonderful post, resteemed :)

:O Thanks so much Max!!!

Thanks so much Max! That's very kind of you. We really appreciate your support.

Highly rEsteemed!

Thank you! :) :)

My brother had this condition, had the blue tinged skin and fingernail beds. He died 7 years ago from complications of his morphine addiction the doctors got him hooked on.

She is a lovely person and I wish you both the best. PS, you may want to speak with someone who actually lives in a country with socialized medicine. I have a lot of friends in Europe and Canada (I'm a recording artist and work with a lot of people in other countries). People with life threatening conditions get the care they need.

That sounds like something I would definitely look into! I am so sorry to hear about your brother.
I can only imagine how difficult it must have been. Hopefully you are doing well, healing, and prospering.
hugs
Namaste

Touching story. Hope everything turns out ok for you! My mother's birthday is also tomorrow (March 22). I will donate a SBD to you. Happy birthday @ascendedmonkey

Happy belated birthday mom from another brother! I hope she had a great day :)

i am sorry that you have such heart defect,
i resteemed this post

Sometimes things like this happen to the lovliest people. I'll include you in my prayers and hope for your recovery. Best of wishes.

Best of luck!

God be with you and your wife.

The fact that you asked for help shows that you're really strong, and that's something to appreciate.
It's wonderful how steemit members care for eachother!

Thank you very much for your support. We are both incredibly thankful and humbled by all of this attention and love. Your donation meeans a lot to us. Highly appreciated.

repeat the words every day every time
All is well All is well.
love and hugs to you both. stay strong.

Good luck bro. I hope you guys can gather the funds to get your wife the help she needs. I couldn't imagine dealing with this if it happened to my wife.

Happy Birthday, i'm sure you'll find a way to keep her, let's upvote this post to give you some funds, that's the very least we can do i guess. Being someone with a lot of disabilities i can relate to her situation.

You appear to be a beautiful couple and I wish you all the best and hope that you achieve the level of care required without too much of a struggle.

My upvote isn't worth much but its yours. Happy Birthday to your wife and best of luck.

Wish you both quick recovery. Cheers!!

https://steemit.com/steemit/@crystalhuman/we-wouldn-t-be-where-we-are-today-without-people-like-you

I’m late to this because I didn’t notice the message on my wallet from @haveaheart until just now.

I distributed $1000s in BTC donations from various whales such as @vokain and @rpietila over at BCT (bitcointalk.org) for Yolanda victims in the Philippines and followed up with numerous photos of new roofs built with the donations. I had kept all the receipts of money transfers to the various individuals. I had many contacts at that time throughout the islands and was easily able to find families who needed assistance.

I also had received some donations or loans from BCT whales to help me diagnose (in Singapore) and treat my chronic health condition which ended up (after years of suffering and Philippine doctors having no clue) being gut Tuberculosis and various complications from that and related infections, such as ongoing cysts on my liver, spleen, and left kidney. I had also gotten in a poor financial state because of my illnesses and living in the 3rd world country for too long (largely for reasons which forced upon me by others, although I also blame myself).

When my right eye was gouged in 1999 in the Philippines, I ended up paying for very expensive surgeries and healthcare out of my pocket in the U.S.A..

Also I am against health “insurance” when it amounts to socialism, forced taxation, and not insurance for rare outcomes. Socialism leads to economic failure and then some ressentiment-based ideological megadeath. I don’t like megadeath.

Also I experienced a lot of daily suffering with my chronic illness so I am very empathetic to those who are suffering a health issue.

So with that all in mind and also my latest blog on stewardship, I consider it our civic duty to identify those who are in need of charity. However, there are literally billions of people on this planet who are suffering so identifying where to direct one’s resources is seemingly insurmountable. We try to do what we can and reasonably identify within our limited time resources.

Given that her husband is able, young male citizen of apparently (?) a first-world country which is currently experiencing an employment boom under the Trump administration (not to be misconstrued as a blanket endorsement of Trump), I think he must first show that he has made every sacrifice to return to his country and work so he can support his wife’s needs. Or show why we aren’t merely just funding his tropical dream. Dreams are nice but we have to work for them, not get them for free. I certainly did return to the U.S.A. in 1995 and again 1996 to work in order to support my wife and son who remained in the Philippines at that time. Our Anglo-Saxon heritage is one of hard work and pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. Without that culture, we would not have produced the Industrial and Computer Revolutions that make Steem possible.

Next any donation I would give, I would prefer to send it directly to the institution which is providing the healthcare, so I can be sure the donations are not being used to fund other things. Not because I don’t want this ostensibly sweet couple to reach their dreams (I hope you do), but because I know of others who are also in dire straits and need assistance yet who don’t have the ability for one of the family members to go work in a first-world country. I too had the dream in my 20s and 30s of running away to some brown-skinned country and living a different life than the one I had in the U.S.A.. And I did it! And it significantly destroyed my life!

Note usually donations are given privately by family, friends, and church, because they know the individuals personally and have verified all the details. Socialism has destroyed this to some extent.

If there’s another blog that addresses these concerns, please feel free to reply to my comment so that I will see it. Ah wait, Steem doesn’t notify us of replies to our comments on someone else’s blog?

If the situation is more dire than I understand it to be, please alert me. Note (although this all may be improving for me) I’m technically bankrupt, too old/ill to hold down a stable job, still stuck in the Philippines for the moment, although I may have access to loans from whales.

Oh if this blog was more about just having a happy birthday with some modicum of fundraising on Steem, then my comments don’t apply and then I wouldn’t be involved because so many billions of impoverished people who like to have a happy birthday this year. And I do not know the individuals on this blog personally and I am not rich enough with enough idle time to go around surprising random people on their birthdays (might be an interesting gig for a rich philanthropist).

In summary, I really sympathize with those who suffer some significant health ailment such as a congenital defect. I do hope your wife can get the care she needs. If you’ve made every effort you can to work and there is still a need, and I could send the payment directly to the care provider, I would probably go for it.

P.S. Did you try asking @dantheman if he can share some of that $1.5 billion they raised for the EOS/Block.one spinoff from Steem, or if his Goldman Sachs (c.f. also what I wrote in 2013) connections took the lion’s share?
