RE: PAY IT FORWARD FOR THE HOLIDAYS (Year 5)

in #life • 3 years ago

To be sincere, I am most humbled by this post. 😭 I shed tears after what I saw yesterday. I cried because I couldn't help, not that I didn't want to help but lacked the capacity to help. She was with about 5 years old child under the son waiting for a tricycle to drop them home. She priced #70, over a #100 ride. When they agreed on the price, she now asked if the man had a change (balance) of #30 which means that she had #100 completely but wanted to save #30😭😭. I was crying for many reasons, first, she can't afford the movement, she walked it, also in consideration of what she wants to save which cannot afford anything finally, I was more plained because I was there and I couldn't do anything, as a young independent graduate without work yet living in Nigeria is such a horrifying thing. Being to emotional makes one cry everyday due to what we see on daily basis.

God bless you for posting this!
I believe we can equally help in different ways within our capacity...

Thank you once again...

That kind of thing is difficult to see but really opens your eyes to how much some have to struggle in their day-to-day life. There are so many in need and governments and charity organizations aren't always the best source of help. We can all make a difference, even if it's a small one. Thank you for your comment!
