How do you treat the less fortunate?

We schizophrenics need to stick together. Maybe you were in those shoes before or your heart goes out to them. Some people can’t defend themselves and it’s hard for them to learn. Just have a little more patience. Thanks.

I show support where I can, but I’m also learning when to withdraw so I don’t give too much of myself.
Some people don’t want help, but think they do, so they take and take all you can give until you’ve got nothing left.

I try my best to be compassionate, understanding, and supportive.

I worked as a counsellor. I found that most people just want to be heard and to feel validated. I’ve been told I’m a good listener and I’m always willing to listen if anyone finds it helpful.

I always have a “love first” policy in my philosophy. No matter what happens, I always turn to love. This leads to forgiveness. I think that’s why I’m a very easily forgiving person.

Also, I volunteer a lot- especially at church and at organizations. I hope to volunteer for those with MD.

I’m caught between point them in the right direction and support them. It depends on the situation. Lately I feel like I’m taking more than giving. I hope that changes.

I used to buy gifts for family members at Free Trade fairs or from local artists on christianfreedom.org or Ifcj.org so that my family member would have their Xmas gift but it would also benefit someone in need.

I’m not advocating religion. I’m just saying that’s what I did to help people
