I’m talking outside of organizing, just in your day to day when people approach you. What do you usually give if so?
There’s a lot of times I don’t have cash on my person and wonder if there’s something else I could do to help.
I have a couple twenties in my wallet that are strictly for giving to people. I know it won’t solve the problem but if I have the power to make someone’s night better I want to do it.
A house
I usually have some fruit & some of those hospital grippy-socks in my backpack from work. Everyone loves oranges & socks.
A couple months ago I got off the subway and a homeless person asked me for water; I gave her my whole bottle of water and a can of Sprite I had in my bag. Someone else a few blocks later asked me for money, and I offered him some peanuts.
I’m glad I squirreled away the refreshments from the flight I’d taken that day.
My mom always keeps granola bars in the car - I wish I had her level of preparedness.
