help someone

I’ve realized that I help someone just about every day in one way or another. It may not be something big everyday, but I like to feel that I’m a helpful person and that I make someone’s day a bit better sometimes.

I have considered getting an “Angel” from the Salvation Army Angel Tree this year. I would want my DS to help me pick out a child to buy for and show him how good it feels to help someone less fortunate. The only draw back to this is I am never sure if the family really needs help or if they are just getting the stuff because they can. I want to help a family that truely needs help. How are you supposed to know if they are honest are not? I would love to be the one to give a needy child a Christmas that they otherwise wouldn’t have had. I guess I just have to take the chance that the family that we choose really needs help. Besides, it isn’t the children that are dishonest.

I would like to do more, but sometimes just talking to someone helps brighten their day and I feel like I have helped them in some little way. Sometimes I have a better day when a stranger is nice for no reason except that they are human, so I should always try to do the same.
