Urgent: A pop up @YouAreHOPE Foundation fundraiser for an emergency effort to prevent further Malaria deaths in this Nigerian village, with steemitizens on the ground handling the solution with our help.
Hey Again Steemitizens
This desperate and at-risk Nigerian village needs our help and we have steemitizens in the area ready to give it, but they in turn need OUR help to get them set up to serve.
Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a good day or slept well, I've got a pop up mission for our attention here....
Here is the information, but it's quickly written and somewhat doesn't tell the whole story. I've just spent a couple hours talking with @aydayodeji and this is much worse than it looks and much more urgent than it seems.
TAKING A STEP TO CHANGING LIVES — by aydayodeji
Why is this urgent?
This is a high malaria risk area where a baby has already recently died, as monsoon and rain seasons are making this improperly drained village hold water and erode water containment, not massive flooding but massive mosquito death breeding ground.
Our heroic steemitizens on the ground there @tyrex and @aydayodeji are going to get this place cleaned up the old fashioned way, with teenagers and shovels, but they need malaria meds, some tools, and some supplies like sandbags and such. mosquito netting, etc.
Jump on it, pump on it.
200 Steem will buy the supplies, tools, compensate some paid help needed, and cover costs of operating this not-so-small scale emergency clean up work. @YouAreHOPE Foundation has seeded this drive with 50 STEEM to start off and these posts. Post proceeds of course, to the cause.
Thank you!
Yours in Service,

I nearly died of malaria last December typhoid also is a prevalent illness in Western Africa I guess the government are not even interested I'm glad that this initiative is taking place
I'm so glad you got well. We are happy to help. And unhappy we need to. If you know what I mean.
Yes I'm unhappy you do have to help, I was lucky I had a little SBD at then, I could have died from the malaria
Yeah thats some deadly stuff. Scary.
FUCK "government" is what I say, at least in the USA they have a health department that sprays for mosquitoes... but don't breathe that shit! lol
I'm HAPPY to help out, and I trust @sircork to direct these funds to the right places :D HOPEFULLY with STEEMIT and other future efforts we can
REDUCE THE NEED FOR GOVERNMENT AND PRODUCE AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SELF-GOVERNANCE!
This is the sort of thing where steemit truly empowers we "peons" to band together and make a difference. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @sircork.
Fishy, I am proud to say I was a follower before you volunteered to help the Cork-Man! I am so glad someone stepped up and filled a crucial role. You are a fine human being, and fulfilling the definition of TRUE RELIGION. It is truly a love for humankind that you are showing <3 and RESPECT!
Aw, thank you so much!
Indeed. Thanks for jumping on it.
This is the opportunity that all Steemians have to make a difference, lets all upvote to end malaria and save lives in the Nigerian village. We can change the world for better.
Thank you so much everyone. Together we are touching lives
I hope we can reach the goal, we are @YouAreHOPE Foundation, like all charitable causes always run short of what we want to be able to do for all our fellow humans, but hopefully, we can help some or all of the way with this fund drive.
Regardless, you guys have made a huge impact. God bless you
