well On my msn one my friend from Pakistan, he told me his life everyday is in struggle, everyday can eat one meal, only 50usd for per month salary.more like to move to Other country to start new, new job, new salary i think so.
You know if he wanna leave his country need his mainland embassy get pemission , which can get the pemission that depend on aboard guys send him a invitation
I can do my best my help him to get it but i do not know if he come China would a problem for me, becoz i am poor i couldn't give more material things to support his life!
well if he really come China i do think he couldn't find a perfect job becoz he couldn't talk in Chinese. and education is not that good.

My concern would be that you barely know the person and what if it is a plan to scam you out of money. I only say this because why would he ask someone he is chatting with and not try to ask family and or friends in his own place. This would be my concern, especially if you yourself are not financially able to do so.
Please be cautious as to not be hurt in the end. You ca try and give him some creative ideas on how he can help himself to try and better his situation.

Hi devijay, 
I do not feel it is rude dear at all, you and I have been quite a bit around life and your comment is warranted! We all would want to help when we see that maybe someone can be hurt.
You are so right we are only trying to look out for her and or anyone in this type of situation. We know what it would feel like if it were us. So adding caution is out of concern.
Thank you devijay, I certainly appreciate reinforcement about the same thought. The more I think about something that can potentially happen the more I appreciate people like you.

Hi Cici. I totally agree with hardworkinggurl. When I read your discussion, I was about to tell you the same as she did, but then saw her post and thought it is not necessary. People will say all sorts of things for money and all your doubts are normal. And they might be true too. You say you are not that financially well off, why would you even think of helping someone when you yourself are in such trouble? I am not critisizing you, I just wanted to point out the obvious.
Beware of such people. Even if he is genuine, you are in no condition to help and he can ask people there in his hometown and not some person in another country. Stay away from him dear. And hope I have not spoken too rudely.

You shouldn't feel guilty about not being able to help this man financially or with material things. You can help him just as much with emotional support and well wishing.
If I had the means to help someone and I knew they really needed it and it wasn't a scam, yeah I'd help them. But I'm kind of in your boat right now (college student working part time) and I couldn't afford to help anyone financially either.
