Hive has touched so many lives positively in different ways and I am not exempted 👌. It still amazes me to see a platform like hive,  loaded with different packages. Here, you meet a lot of people dishing out valuable content capable of changing lives for good, genuine friends from diverse places across the world turning into brothers and sisters, assisting each other's growth. Earning is another interesting part that has made a lot of people remain here. I have read some people's stories on the extreme points of how hive have saved the day! How the reward they get here solved their pressing needs including health matters and this is enough reason to remain here.

Currently, living fairly well in Nigeria is a hurdle. The economy is not smiling and a lot of people are receiving the heat in one way or the other. Knowing the Hive blockchain has been one of the best things that have happened to me. Looking back on how I started and how hive has recused me, kept me intrigued.

<center>**IF HIVE HAVEN'T EXISTED?🤔🤔**</center>

I have been a stay-at-home mum for more than a year ago as a result of sensitive family issues. Resigning from my job wasn't an easy decision but it was part of the sacrifices my family needed at the time.  As a typical African woman, I was on the lookout for online business which I can still do while at home. I didn't want to sit down and fold my hands until my temporary stay-at-home duties elapses. What if anything should happen to my husband's job? How will I take care of my children? Other thoughts filled my mind and when I later found hive last year October, I reluctantly considered it. I was scared of creating readable content, I wasn't a reading and writing type and that was my major reason for not being so excited about hive at first but the story changed after friends here gave me the basic guide. I took it and began learning and so far it's been good, my little creativity has been unraveled via hive, I couldn't imagine myself writing almost every day but here we are, thanks to the hive.

I won't tell you that I have made lots of dollars so far but the much I have made have saved many days for me and my family. I am sure my husband didn't consider that there might be a time for unforeseen challenges, and financial constraints on his part that he wouldn't be able to take care of family responsibilities alone before asking me to resign but it happened and still happening. I was very sick two weeks ago to the point that one can hardly hear me say a word. The sickness was so sudden and became serious just within a short time. My husband has gone out in search of ways to sort out the huge financial problems he got into. My kids were scared of me seeing my situation so bad, luckily enough, a neighbor came in for something, saw my condition, and assisted me to the hospital. The nurse on examination was a bit worried about me but after many injections, I became better. There was no way my husband could get money instantly because he has passed through a lot and informing him about money was out of it, at this point **hive saved my life**...I sold some of my HBD to pay for my medications and I am glad to be well again.

I also have a deadline to meet on paying for my children's school bus fee tomorrow as the school starts next week if not, they will miss following the school bus for the term and that will be a problem transporting them to the school, hive still saved me on this. Buying all their academic materials is a must and I am glad to have withdrawn from hive and attended to that already. Education is a major investment anyone can do for his child for a better future of  that child so it was a case I consider very important to attend to immediately, courtesy of hive👏👌

There are so many other ways hive has saved the day for me and my family. Filling the financial vacuum when my husband is not able has been something I a proud of. All was possible through hive and the greatest of all was my health which I cannot forget the experience in a hurry.
