I just donated and hope it helps Miggy.

As for me, I guess it is up to everyone individually to decide whether they feel the need to help or not, whether they feel they have been wronged it the past or not. I never judge people on their opinion in matters like these, aside from unnecessary name calling and all that. That is not for me to decide.

All I know is that I have been in a similar situation many years ago, even though that was due to stupid shit I did to myself. If it wasn't for the ones that still believed in me, unconditionally, even though I proved them wrong more than once, I would not have gotten to the life that I live now. Would not have been the person that I am now. And now that I am in the position to help others myself, I will gladly pay that forward to those who struggle to make ends meet. And I have, also on GLP.

We sometimes end up in situations, where we dig a hole for ourselves that is too deep to crawl out. Some completely out of our hands, some through our own doings. It takes courage to reach out, overcoming our pride. It takes belief in ourselves and that of others to help us get back on track as much as possible. This society could use a bit more of that nowadays. Besides, help does not have to be financial. A lot of us are in the same boat when it comes to money, especially these days. Encouragement, a tap on the shoulder, a friendly word, advice, gesture can also work miracles and open our mind for a different path.

I know, there is also a lot of abuse when it comes to help. Something to do with fool me once, etc. Bush knows the exact saying. Just don't judge each other for reaching out anyway. Just do what you want to do or don't want to do.

But if you do end up in a situation like this, just don't be too stubborn, like I was, to sit and wait for the world to come down. There is help, there are solutions, if you just reach out and if all of us keep an eye open for those in need.

Apologize for the long two cents. The curse of writing..
