I van only say you are right. Here nobody asked me for money, I do help others if I can here, but if it comes to real life...
I am Dutch and pay and pay but help for me (us) there isn't.
Perhaps the country is rich but I can hardly pay the rent. My first concern and responsibility are my kids not keeping strangers alive not willing to work and invest themselves.
I also gave upon my meds, same with my kid because of money issues (food is more important).
I hope those who ask you for money will start paying you back now! It sounds more like scam as being poor for real.
I learned scamming and begging is a profession, a very easy way to make a living by manipulating people. Don't buy these stories.
Really poor people do not beg, they suffer alone and keeping up appearances.
I wish you ☘ and 💖 and 💰 you need.
