I am student in Nigeria that depend on the meager amount of money that my middle class parents can provide monthly. Sometimes what I get won't even last the first week of the month.
Since I found out about steemit, I am able to meet my basic needs, and even sometimes I don't bother asking from my parents. I just love the feel of being independent. I am so happy I found steemit and I am grateful to people like@damarth that helps minnows on the blockchain.
Cheers
