Things like this really disheartens me

 I joined a group on Facebook called Friends of Vancouver Island. I posted a post that got a lot of attention. Over 350 likes. Comments such as "what a heartfelt story",... yet,... curiously the post was removed. And this is what I dont' understand about Facebook and people.

I see post after post of scams and illegal drug selling and overall general smut on my timeline every single day. The hard drug sellers I reported over and over again only to be reprimanded with "I am reporting too much and my facebook profile was paused as i was 'punished' for reporting drug dealers selling cocain and fentanyl on facebook. So I guess they sided with the drug dealers and punished me for reporting them too much.

Anyway,... going back to my 'adventure' in BC. I have always thought of that young man that picked me up in his pick up and drove out of his way to bring me to the ferry. This young man saved my life and I would love to be able to thank him.

So I posted this on the Facebook group "Friends of Vancouver Island" where I thought this young man might just see the post. I got over 350 likes/loves/hugs so it was a popular post. A POSITIVE post people liked. People commented things like "what a heartfelt post" and "I hope you find that young man",....

So imagine my surprise when I found out the post was removed. No explanation why,... just disappeared. This has left me disheartened. That this world would rather have drug dealers and scammers on their timelines but 'report' posts like this,.... I am completely flabergasted as to why!!!!!!

Anyway,... here is the post. Maybe someone else can tell me why it was removed,...

I would just like to share that I moved to Crofton last summer but it didn't work out and I found myself homeless. I am origianlly from Ontario so I was left homeless in a place I didn't even know. But what I found was kindness. People came forward and helped me. But the one story I want to share is this,... I am 62 and disabled and wa walking down the highway with my walker and my suitcase and all my belongings. I was crying and lost and trying to get to the ferry to get to Vancouver to fly home to Ontario. A young man whos name I forget stopped his pick up truck and helped me. He not only drove me out fo his way to the ferry but he also bought me breakfast. I dont know WHO this young man was but I would love to know,.... I can't remember the truck as I was so overwhlemed and in survival mode. But if YOU remember me,... please reach out as you literally SAVED MY LIFE that day. WHO is this young man who drove me to the ferry,......

On top of this many others helped me and I eventually made it back to Ontario. But the kindness and the beaty of this province made me fall in love. I have now booked a summer holiday here for July. Nicest people I will ever meet were here on Vancouver Island. To every single person who helped me - THANK YOU.

THis post was removed (???) yet scammers are allowed to post anything to scam people but a heartfelt story of kindness is removed,... ?????????
