What an amazing community we have in the #steemsilvergold! It took less than 12 hours for me to have sponsors for two additional coins to send to @welshstacker to make up for his lost shipment, and today, as of 12:08pm Central Time, three rounds are on their way down to Tallahassee, FL on their first leg of the journey to eventually wind up with the designer of the rounds himself.
Two days ago, when I put out the call for people to donate a few rounds to send out, I had no idea what kind of response I would get. In many other communities, people might think me a con or thief trying to get people to send something to me, that I would then fail to send out to anyone else, and instead horde the loot in my own stack. But #SSG is truly a band of brothers and sisters, and not one person questioned my motivation in sending off silver to make it right for @welshstacker. I appreciate that a great deal!!
I want to give a shout out to those who have agreed to participate in this venture, and are sending rounds, either on their own or collectively by sending to @sevinwilson who will collect the rounds and ship them off. I may miss some names, and if I do, please let me know and I will edit them in to this post.
In No particular order:
@armshippie (sending a round and paid for half of one of the three I am sending. Also collected the remaining funds for the other half of that round. If you are one of the people who contributed to that effort, please shout out so we can acknowledge you as well)
@thedamus (purchased the third round I am sending)
@sevinwilson (contributing to the rounds and organizing the shipping details for us)
@silveringots (sent a round from his stack directly to @welshstacker)
@themanwithnoname (financial contribution to the cause)
@tbnfl4sun (financial contribution to the cause)
Please make sure to visit these guys blogs and give them some extra upvote love. Each of these donors has offered up a precious piece of their stack of their own free will. No coercion, No strings attached. Just a desire to make right something that has gone horribly wrong.
My portion of the Care Package should arrive with @sevinwilson on Monday. I am sure he will put up a post once all gifts are received, accounted for, and packed off to their final destination. Maybe he should hop a plane and hand deliver these, just to make sure no postal carriers wind up with another opportunity to make off with Welshy's silver!
Anyway.... Thanks again everyone! I had no idea how this would turn out when I originally posted. But the response has been overwhelming! You guys are the absolute best!!!
