Financial help, when warranted.
When Tyson had been in the hospital, I came to visit him. When I would visit him, we would talk, and sometimes I sang. Heh, it was amazing to see him smile. I would sing and play guitar even when he wasn't in the hospital. There were some days I couldn't visit.
The last song I sang him was Circles by Pierce the Veil. It's a good song, you should listen to it if you haven't already.
Keeping friends entertained while they're in the hospital. Helping people when they're at their worst and everyone else has given up on them.
Held their hand when they needed it. Listened when it was needed.
I now give whatever is needed, when I'm able to help.
Food, clothes, a ride, encouragement, money up to $5°°, a text, a call, little change when in the "store line", listen, talk, be friendly, compliments and smile.
I am very loyal to and supportive of the friends I have, especially when they're going through difficult times. One of them, whom I've never met in person, told me that I had (unknown to me) stopped him from ending his own life. I doubt I was solely the reason, as he had lots of support from other people too, but it did make me happy to know that I had helped him in that way, and he is much happier now :)
It's hard to tell. All i do is just do my best to be there as much as possible. You know, the difficult times are the moments where many people runaway, so i always do my best to be there at such necessary times. To do the best i can and be useful as much as i can. Helping others in anyway gives me energy, confidence and a feeling of being worthy.
I just gave them some of my time.
help my friends through the toughest times
Well probably a card or cleaning up their yard for free after a hurricane
make them laugh.
My family and I sponsored a Vietnamese family to live in the USA.
The father had been held in a "re-education camp" (concentration camp) for helping the USA during the Vietnam War.
Although it cost us a lot of money, which we never recovered from, we saved a family.
Their son, who is 29 now, (he was 8 when they arrived) is now a molecular biologist working to find a cure for many diseases and their daughter, born here, is now at Emory University in Georgia.
They both got full scholarships.
They thank us all the time for giving them the opportunity for freedom.
Three of my best friends are only children who have elderly parents. I have helped them out with their parents when needed. Everything from doctors appointments, to standing by their side as we buried them.
