Do you believe that someone would give away money to people who ask?

Have you ever heard of someone who gave away free money to needy people who asked? I think that there are nice people in the world; but, most of the time people simply don't care about the needy next door.. They prefer to give to those over sees or in churches where everyone can see them; but not to the needy person walking or living beside them. I have on occasion found people on the net who give out money to those who need it.. have you ever heard of such people?

If I could afford it and had no daily worries about my finances I might be one of those helping others in need. Now instead I try do my best to give them advice on how to make a little extra. I currently have a negative black hole rangeing around - $5000 :/ But some of it is investment that eventually should yield back, but lets see...

I understand how you feel. I am barely making it for the moment I trust that God will provide somehow.

There is always an opportunity out there but sometimes it is very hard indeed to find... But keep searching and it will reveal it self one day :)

yes i do believe that there are some people who give away money to people who ask. there are some generous people. but most people dont give away any of their money to anyone. but i dont know how many people on the internet give away their money. so it is kind of hard to tell.

I think people are afraid to share because the are afraid to trust that the person needing the help ..isn't authentic..what do you think?

There are people who give to charities to get popular. But some are really sincere in doing so like those already popular people like the actors who have got fame already, they just want to help, they are famous already so they just want to give to needy people. There are also people who give anonymously, they just leave or deposit money to charities or bank accounts of charitable institutions. These are donors who don't want to get famous because of their donations to such institutions, they just want to help and they don't give names for giving amounts of money or kinds of stuff. They are meant to be given awards.

yes... Mostly of people in the world give away something or just a little money for someone who be considerated as a poor people. even the people who obviously poor Live around us, sometime we don't mind them. i have seen the people like this around me, one of the reason of them is not sure to someone around them because they just guess that the people around them are not poor, so they is better to give away The Donation to the churches or Mosque

Yes of course. Such people are not as hard as you think to find. I know a lot of people like that and also I am one of them. I have seen my mother give away a lot of money to people who are finding it difficult to meet college expenses. Though the world might look selfish it still has has a lot of goodness in it. Only it is being overshadowed by the badness. If we look at the goodness the bad will automatically be overpowered.

Glad that you come from a "giving family". Not everyone is ready to open their hands to others. The reason they are not is because many have been burnt by those who pretend to need money.
