Nearly a year ago I was looking after a disabled friend with mental health issues and facing homelessness. I had to leave London (no way to stay sane housing two in a tiny studio) and was out of money, so appealed to my newsletter readers. They sent £15k (about $18k), which sounds like a lot, but I needed it. Airbnbs, hotels, rental car, fuel, medical kit to buy, eating out, etc — it added up quickly, and I had other stuff to pay for too.
While I don't have much to my name financially, I have far more "social security" than someone who has loads of shares and cash. Their assets can be taken away in a flash, but I can get a meal and roof pretty much anywhere from patriots who value my efforts. It's a different kind of wealth; a sense of safety that I will be OK even if things around me are very off kilter.
In a way the saddest thing about being a bit poor is lacking resources to help others in need. One friend really needs it right now; I can't afford to bail him out.

I totally get that . It’s been my experience that it is really difficult for people who are usually generous when they are not able to give me included. It hurts not to be able to always be given when we want to.
