This is real charity, not the sham welfare state supported by confiscatory redistribution of wealth.
This is what Christian charity is supposed to be. If you do this, you will not be sorry. There are many working class people on the brink of ruin and in need. Those already ruined are rewarded with welfare. God will put people you can help in your path if you ask Him to.
There is nothing more powerful and healing on earth than God’s love and mercy - for the giver and the receiver. If you want God to heal the country, do this if you can afford it.
For example, I’ve found myself behind people in line who need a boost. Like at the hospital when I had cancer, a mom was struggling to make the payment for her son’s care and so I was able to pay it off for her so her son’s care would not be interrupted. Another woman was telling the receptionist that she could not afford the tanks of gas to bring her husband the long way to the hospital for treatment twice a week so I was able to give her money to make it easier for her. Recently a young mother lost her glasses at work and found out her insurance would not cover replacement and she expressed to the clerk that she did not have the money to replace them but needed them for work. So my husband bought her glasses. They always say ‘no’ and then ask why and I say because God loves you. I never see them again and that’s fine with me.
