Do you ever desire to have huge amounts of cash so that you can help the needy?
My upbringing was not a wealthy one neither was I poor. I'd say we were average and sometimes we went below average. There were many times when family members and community members would bring food parcels to my home. As a child at that time, I did not really understand what was happening around me and so I was so excited to see people bringing food to my home. Come to think of it I probably thought it was their duty. I am grown up now and when I see other people going through challenges in their homes, I can't help but to get emotional. My desire has always been to have lots of cash so that I help the needy. It is only post covid that I relieved myself from that stress when I realised it is impossible to help everyone but with the little I have I can at least help one person. I feel so good within myself even if I've only just bought a family one loaf of bread and a litre milk. I can't put into words the feeling I get after I've done this. Looking forward to your response.

Yes, I own a nonprofit organization where I help pay hospital bills for needy people who have been admitted for treatment in rural communities. Therefore receiving financial help always goes a long way.đ

One does not need huge amounts of money to help the needy. There are so many other ways to help, you can help with what you have and you can help by asking family and friends to also get involved. Coming together is better than trying by yourself.

I pray for this everyday, I cry every time someone says they cant pay this or that, we had to ask so and so for food, God guides ask to the needy, keep doing it, widen your net, the blessing from above is countless. You are a good soul.

I like helping the needy or less fortunate but its not always about money sometimes a pair of shoes or a warm plate of food can make a difference in someone's life.
Yes, it's everyone's first priority to get rich and help the needy. But the bitter reality is that if you can't help in poverty you can't help in prosperity.
I grew up poor. But I grew up with parents tgat told me I need to put my heart into work. Even though I grew up poor we ran a pantry in our garage with peoples second hand clothes and housing appliances and furniture. I've been helping and giving back ever since I was young however when I graduated from high school I moved to join the military and got my first real taste of financial freedom. I m not a fan of it. I spent more than I knew and had to live like I did when I was young. I learned pretty quickly that more money means more problems if you don't utilize it correctly
The best way to help the needy or the poor is not to throw money at them. As they say: " Give a man a fish today and he'll be hungry tomorrow. Teach a man how to fish and he'll never be hungry". Education and training is the key to alleviate poverty, not money.
Many of them need a friend. I have often given a sandwich, a pair of socks, a plastic garbage bag to keep them dry and an hour a couple times a week just to listen to their story, to share about help in the city where I lived at the time, and be a friend.
You don't need money to help the needy. It's okay to give what you have at the moment. I used to volunteer online at @7cups.com helping individuals who were stressed.
This happens to me all the time, my grandmother runs a child care centre so sometimes it happens that social workers would bring children without our knowledge for a safety place and at that moment we don't have a budget to get them warm clothes and shoes, this hurts deeply. So yeah I have been in countless situations where I would just desire to get the money and help those children.
