I have been participating in this forum since 2017 and the weekly payments that I receive from campaign signatures helped me support myself as a student, as there are times where I use this money for my daily expenses.

As someone who is part of a family of 7 with a single father raising us, our expenses quickly pile-up as he needs to fulfill his daily obligation to feed us and pay for our individual education. There are times where I have been the least priority (eldest brother) in terms of money allocation and this quite took a toll on me whenever I attend my class with a hungry stomach and less study materials.

I used to receive $4-$5 every week (last 2017 when the price of each bitcoin was around $3700-$3800) and use the money to save for my next month's savings. As time passed by, my forum rank grew with my weekly payments increasing at the same time.

Now that I graduated college with a mindset and will for post-graduate studies, I use the a portion of my bitcoins to purchase books (these books are expensive as hell!) to at least support and mitigate the expenses so my other brothers do not experience what I had experience before while growing up.

I can say at least that this forum not only helped me individually but indirectly helped my family. This may sound exaggerated but without this forum and the convenience of working online, I guess my dream of pursuing my career as a future lawyer would not materialized and be just a goal that would be impossible to reach for the time being.
