Generosity Unlimited!

I must have written millions of words in my life but today I have no words to express what I am feeling right now.
As soon as Sheridan announced that Rewards system at Blogjob will be suspended, many members who were very close to $100 redemption limit started feeling rather dejected and then out poured so much generosity, sympathy and points, the likes of which I have never seen before.
The first person to help another fellow writer Anne Farmer was Grecy Garcia who promptly transferred 900 points to Anne's account to help her reach 10,000 points. And then it seemed as if the floodgates opened.
I requested help from @CoralLevang and within 30 seconds she had transferred more than 500 points in my account. Another Blogjob member @kimdalessandro started a forum topic for my sake “Points Needed for Dawnwriter”.
I had gone to sleep by that time but this morning I came to know that @Rextrulove, @bestwriter, @iyanpol12 and @kimdalessandro all have transferred hundreds of points in my account but the only one that seems to have registered after Coral Levang are those by @DW Davis who transferred 1069 points to my account.
I do not have words to thank you all.
With your help, I have reached 10,000 points and requested payment and it is in processing mode. I don't know what happened to rest of the points or whether I will get paid. I sincerely hope the points will not go waste and will return to their owners.
If they get added to my account belatedly, i assure you I will either transfer them back to you or forward them to some other needy person in your name.
I am now taking some time to think of what happened last night. People from all over the globe, regardless of which country we belong to, what food we eat, what language we speak, what caste, creed, belief or religion we believe in, all came together to help each other. I hope and pray one day the real world, our home outside this online platform too will experience such harmony, empathy and kindness.
I also pray that Blogjob survives these difficult days and @Sheridan is able to pull the site out of its troubles.

I was scared to transfer points to anyone after I read that many of those points weren't reaching the person they were being transferred to. Now I see that they've disabled the transfer feature altogether
Given the state that the site is in right now, I hope that you receive your payment.

I did not have any second thoughts to transfer my points because I read how Anne felt about it and she really needs that money, who am I to be greedy with that points. I give it to her wholeheartedly and I love to see the everyone followed. At first I felt I will be banned for transferring points, but then Sheridan not reacted to it so I transferred another points to Jodee and then I know I transferred my remaining points to you too, but for sure it did not get through because that was the time the site was started to get errors.

I would suggest you wait till you get the money in your account as that would be a positive sign that all is not bad there. And as for transferring the points that I have given you that you can do.after you see money in your account.
