Hi everyone on hive! I have been here (first steemit, then hive) since i was 15, so like 4 years ago, and i fell in love instantly with this community and his potential, one year ago i opened a little youtube channel with an amazing community, little but still amazing so i could start helping people specially from latin america (because the situation there its hard and i know it because i lived there almost all my life) with info about the hive gaming and the blog side, and some more crypto stuff because i believe in the blockchain .

Im a 19 years old guy that lives in spain, madrid. And basically i live from these investments in cryptos, and i earn enough to have a normal life (pay the flat, helping my mom with her debts, food, i haven't gone the university because I learn from internet and books,) with no space to silly expenses because i have a family, specially my 2 grandpas that lives in my birth country ecuador.

I send them every month every money i can to their food and medicaments, but its not enough.. to even help my grandfather with a terrible disease.. so ill share the campaing that im running on GOFUNDME, but translated it english because i wrote it in my mother tongue...

And well before i share with you this, ill say that its hard to do this.. and the two things i really want to ask you its for a share in a social media or to friends, or any other way you can help me to help them. And i want you to understand my feelings

Thanks

And please open the link to see everything, i wont upload the images here because its too painful and hearthbreaking emotionally for me to do it, as writing all of this yesterday literally broke me.

GOFUNDME LINK

It really is hard to have to write this, although it hurts more to have waited so long. I don't even know where to start or what exactly to share with you, but I will try to make you understand my hearth.

The couple in the cover photo are my grandparents, Jaime and Zoila. They are the the love of my life, they have always been like my parents who were not so present in my life, however I cannot say that I ever lacked affection or love at home and it was thanks to them, I have always felt that way.
They have been happily married for more than 50 years, between fights and love they have managed to take control of time very well, as I said I always felt loved and never alone thanks to what they were with me.

My grandmother is currently in stable health, she has a chronic heart disease but the doctor prescribed us medication to keep it under control and she is without a doubt the kindest and most tender woman I have ever known, I could say without fear that she is sometimes excessively good. A mother in every way, a bit stubborn but she is part of her charm.

My grandfather is undoubtedly the person of whom I am most proud, in every way, and I am also grateful to the last bit of my being that the world has made him a grandfather. All my way of seeing life, of facing problems, of looking forward, my desire to undertake and never conform are thanks to him. He has been able to convey to me all the good things in his life, all that he learned from the moment he grabbed me from the cradle for the first time.

He is a person who despite the misfortunes of life, always but always was going trough problems and everything, and is what I have also tried to imitate. He did not finish school or gone to university, he ran away from home at the age of 11 because his stepfather attacked him and yet, despite everything he became a successful man, he bought the house where I grew up with the job of a merchant and entrepeneur of all his life, a born entrepreneur and a scoundrel (in the good way) because he did everything he could for the things he wanted.

He was a bodybuilder in his youth, he tells me what they called "hercules without chain" and even I consider him a philosopher, because he is a person who had the habit of devouring books and who discussed a lot with me about various topics such as existence itself, despite the fact that I was a stubborn arguing just like my grandmother.

I do not know how many years ago but there are already many when they detected a kind of hernia, lump, abnormal growth in the genital area but for a long time it did not show signs of being dangerous, according to my grandfather he did not want to operate when one of his sisters told him the idea He says out of fear and because the thing was really very small (before I was even born). I normalized that my grandfather had a bulge that could be seen under his pants because I had seen it all my life, and really for 17 years it did not affect his physical capacity or his health in nothing, we were a middle class family with his happy and sad moments and I made an effort in my studies and always with the vision of wanting to get ahead and be an autonomous man, free like my grandfather. .

Currently I am 19 years old and I lived with them until I was 17 when I moved to Madrid where my mother has lived for more than 11 years, all to get better and with the hope that I was going to get to do a lot and they would to help as much as possible. Since I've been here, I've done my best to send a money a month after a month, so that my grandparents have something to eat, I have stopped buying clothes and making expenses for myself so that I can send them as much as possible each month. In addition to having made a promise to call my grandfather and grandmother every day, the least I wanted after the devastating thing it was to separate from them after a whole life together, which I know they feel abandoned and is something that I continue to do to this day of today, always calling to speak my old men.

And so it was until a lot of cursed or unfortunate circumstances began to accumulate.

My grandfather, a few months after I left, suffered from a stomach ulcer that almost took his life, at that time I was working part-time in a supermarket because it was the first thing I got when I turned 18, and then I was able to send all the money that he had on top of what they would attend to, hoping that everything would go well. Since that tragic event, it seems that his defenses were lowered and the hernia began to grow as never before to its current state.

After a few months with my stable dad Jaime, the damn coronavirus pandemic began, which has brought nothing but misfortunes, chaos and a lot of sadness to my life.

My grandmother, although I do not know if it is certain because there was no way to do tests in the middle of the pandemic, she contracted the covid or some disease with very similar symptoms that left her in a very delicate state of health because there came a time when she could not even speak When my aunt told me about it, it was to do the same and send her all the money that I had in my pocket and send it to her so that a doctor could come to the house to treat her, all the medications they asked for, serum and others. Even using a credit card to send a little more. Added to all this, my aunt who is the person who really takes care of my old people, she was left without a job as a receptionist in a gym due to the pandemic so the income that they had in Ecuador was much less

These devastating events that left me very bad emotionally and without savings coupled with the fact that after a month of the deconfinement of Madrid I was left without a job, they left me in a very precarious situation, because in addition to that I share expenses of living with my mother because she She has many debts and it is impossible for her to bear those expenses alone, besides that because of the way in which they have raised me it is impossible for me to be someone that doesnt do nothing in the crisis moments.

Precisely because of that spirit that this couple of grandparents managed to instill in me, I never gave up and despite the fact that I did not find a job after that. I had invested what little I could since I arrived and from when i was 15 in various things such as cryptocurrencies and technology because it is something that I am good at and thanks to that, I persist and I was earning thejust enough to pay for the apartment here in Madrid with my mother, some studies (no university) and everything the rest that I could send them were for my grandparents and my aunt, but of course, in addition to the fact that my aunt no longer has a job and with more than 50 years it is very difficult to her to find one.

But these last few months have been very, very difficult, I have cut my expenses as much as possible to be able to send money to my grandparents and to continue helping my mother pay the apartment, because she had a very toxic ex-boyfriend who made her go into debt for thousands of euros and still trying to get out of it ..

For what really almost all the responsibility is on me, and its really too much, because i know the money i send its not enough for what my grandpas deserves and NEED
..
I have had to write all this to you because it was what my heart spat out, my conscience burns that I cannot give my grandparents a better life, or at least that they do not worry about the basics and here I ask and I apologize if I have written too much, one hand in various ways.

I am asking for 1000 euros because I do not know how much to ask or how these donation platforms work, I want to use a part of what I get to do that they take my grandfather to a specialist who can give me a second opinion of his disease to see if it is possible to operate it or reduce it, because a point has come when the mobility that once happily characterized him was a grandfather who every afternoon went to a field near home to talk with his retired friends and to walk from here to there. A general medoc has already reviewed it and said that it could not be operated on that because there was a risk of him dying, but I would like to give him that opportunity to be reviewed by a specialist and see if I can do what the rest of the time that life gives me together with him be as happy as possible, which until now I have been unable to do so.

Seeing him in his current state, because of the disease, he is thinner and with that sad expression, except when we talk by video call because despite everything my daddy(hes like my daddy) always gives me a smile while we talk.

I do not want anything to happen to either of the two, because I know deeply that if something happens to one of the two, the other will follow him out of love and I will not see my old men (I have not had the opportunity for economic reasons of go see them since I said goodbye to them when I was 17)

I would also like to ask if if there is some way to bring my grandparents to Spain because it would make it much easier for me to always have a decent plate of food for them , since food is cheaper and the medicines and vitamins they need are easier to get in Madrid. And to be able to see them again, give them a hug or kiss them.

What I need to ask of them is some way to make sure they always have food and some way to offer my grandfather more specialized medical care, to reduce my grandfather's pain and physical symptoms. If I can collect anything, I will send you the invoices, receipts, and whatever is necessary in gratitude for helping me with this.

The rest is for what they have for insured food and the medications they currently take for blood pressure, heart, vitamins, at least for the remainder of the year, because I will continue to send everything I earn from my investments, while I advance with my entrepreneurship and I get to earn more money so they don't have to worry about it and have a plate of food and their medicines every day. They both take blood pressure pills(different concentration)

. Basically all the income they have its me, sometimes my mother when she can, my aunt when she gets help from relatives to be able to eat and nothing else.

Getting here has cost me a lot, tears come down my cheek every time I think of the helplessness I feel for not being able to give my grandparents a better life, nor for being able to be there with them, or even from always have food and medicine. Worst of all is the feeling of what could have done many things better for them to be better. I did not dare to put a photo of the discovered hernia, with what I have managed to share with you, my heart is already crumbles.

I had not asked for help before because I thought that I was going to be better off, I was going to be able to help them alone, even if no one else from my grandfather's family helps him or even makes a call, or that I was going to achieve my goals faster, but the fact Not having the peace of mind that my grandparents are having the best eats me alive at night.

Seeing my dad Jaime like this, talking with him and feeling his words, not being with him and my uselessness in being able to give them the best and what I feel they deserve, because they have been people who have made me what I am. These are the reasons that have led me to share this with you and I need his help-

Ultimately, I promise you with all my heart that I will put my soul and blood in my endeavor (Academia Libertad, I teach mainly people from Latin America how to use blockchain and cryptocurrencies) and in all the things I do to return in the future any help that you provide me in order to improve the quality of life of my grandparents, especially to help my grandfather so that the disease that has him bedridden and on a sofa is as mild as possible.

I have hope in what I will get ahead and in the end what I want is to be able to give happiness to my grannies..

Thank you very much in advance, and any help including information from medical institutions that could treat my grandfather or help him even a little would be a lot for me. If you need any invoice, receipt, treatment, prescription I will share them with you and I will keep you up to date with everything about them.
