I few things I’ve learned along the way:
1. Helping someone in need is born of kindness and good will, and friends as well as strangers truly love help.
2. Don’t wait to be asked, if you see someone in need, help them if you can. You can’t imagine the difference you might make.
3. If you’re the one in need, don’t find it embarrassing or demeaning to ask for help. Your selling others short and in reality sometimes it’s required.
People are wonderful, it makes them feel good to help someone. So help others and ask for help. Its what makes the world go around.
