help the poor

Helping the poor is really good and makes me feel happy?

I posted before but it was apparently removed so I will keep this simple … I want to help the poor. How can the extremely wealthy sleep at night knowing people are fighting for basic health and dental care. I would like to get sponsorships to support the poor and give to all in need.

I am currently setting a small part of myself to help the poor to learn accounting.

This was inspired when i went to Cambodia.

I am looking for sincere like minded people to contribute freely their intelligence that could help the poor children to avoid proverty, and save them from pronography, slavery etc.

Please join me.

I’d like one day be financially secure that I could spend time and money to help the poor and those in need around the world. I know it’s fantasy idea but I wish one day I can do it. I will be very happy then

our church helped feed 100 families this thanksgiving and Christmas. blessed to participate.

1. I could help you to help others by suggesting ideas:

A. Review your possessions and see what you don’t need. Donate it, or sell it and donate at least 50% of the proceeds.

B. Teach the poor how to help their selves.

C. Work toward economic justice.

D. Keep looking for ways to help, share, and empower.

2. I’m able to check this goal off, although I will want to do it again and again.

I give large amount of donations every year. But I would like to do something even bigger!

I would like to recommend you read Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, as well as Frank Norton’s The Octopus *or *The Jungle.

Consider how the “haves” in history have treated those who “have not.” Think about this. Think about everything you have ever heard about the United States, or Germany in the Weimar period, or what you’ve heard in the Bible.

You can even read from some of the answers here, how people either blame the poor for their own status, some of it which comes from being exploited by others. Others dodge the question, and blame the lawyers, or the Jews, or the welfare Blacks, or the Communists. Not many people in the United States are willing to stand up for the poor. Jesus did, but then He also encouraged people to work honestly for what they get. Paul even went as far as to say, “You don’t work, you don’t eat.”

In conclusion, I would encourage you to consider how on one hand we have to help the poor, but we also have to encourage the poor to help their own selves. “Give a man a fish”, etc.

if it’ll not spoit the friend in need….i have one friend tht needs income urgently…so i just show him that i care for him by fetching him to shoping complex to shop for food and pay for his meals…and i’m happy becoz i did something meaningful and worth keeping in my heart…tht i’ll treasure forever…

This is a hazily-defined goal, and I’m already wondering if I’m truly committed to achieving it. It all depends on what my criteria for “helping the poor” is. I went to a local homeless shelter to volunteer earlier this year, but I didn’t go back when they assigned me to do exactly what I didn’t want to do – teach and tutor. I only occasionally give to panhandlers. I throw out electrical equipment that ends up in dumps in third world countries. I focus my educational and artistic efforts on making myself happy rather than making life better for those less fortunate. And so on and so on. I need to start thinking about wht I can do to measurably achieve this goal on even the smallest level.
