How To Help People Who Need It Most
During tough times, we can still help many people.
I recently received a message from a friend who has had a history of hardship. He’s been stuck financially for a long time with no one to support him and this problem seems to follow him no matter where he goes or tries to do.
But as I have imagined, the situations that the world is going through right now have made matters worse for him. With more people conservative with their money, they’re more hesitant about spending money on things beyond food and shelter.
Combined with dwindling supplies in places, my friend is in a spot where he is struggling.
With no one to turn to, he’s asking me — yet again — for money.
In any other situation, the answer to this is simple. I’ve told him before I wouldn’t be helping him out financially.
But during these difficult times, where money is more valuable and must be carefully managed, it’s stories like these where it can be emotionally harder to turn these people down.
But you still want to be helping them out in some way. During these times, I’d encourage you to consider these things.
