I Helped my Sister Out

I have in the past helped not only the one sister that I have met, as I do not know where the other one is at. I have also helped out a friend at a time when she was tearing that she was the only one who did not get her Christmas bonus so I simply gave her money she could have and not have to pay me back as I felt really sad that she was not able to buy her own daughter gifts. But here I am today without a job and no one remembers to even call, email and or text me. Says a lot about people, although I am not expecting them to give me anything I surely would have loved to at least had someone wonder if I was doing okay but I guess I set my self up for disappointment. But I do have a great deal of blessings with my two children and my boyfriend so my hopes for a better year, is that I finally land on my feet and continue to do all the charity work I have done in the past. As truly I would not expect anything outside of feeling the blessings of helping all those in need. Bless you dorannmwin, for you have made your sister's Christmas. May God bless you with great health and happiness to continue to be the wonderful person you are.

If my sister needed help, I would definitely help her. But like me, she is the type who wouldn't ask for help unless she were seriously, seriously needing help. She hasn't been employed "consistently" for many months now . . . but she it's her choice. She's been toying around with different projects and has made some income - and is enjoying "life" in the meantime. I don't know if her unemployment has run out yet - but she is also engaged to a guy who supports and doesn't mind her free spirited ways. Lucky, huh?! Well, those guys don't have kids yet - so maybe (if) they ever start a family, they'll think differently. Thumbs up for helping your sister in her time of need!

My sister has never had money issues, but my brother, my brother-in-law, my mother-in-law, my cousin....

My sister is younger than me, so I use to help her out when she was away at college. She went to college in downtown Chicago and would stay on campus during the week, but on weekends she would go home. I was already living on my own, so I would come to her college a couple nights a week to make sure that she had some spending money and would usually bring over some food. She was on a very tight budget and was in nursing school at the time so she only worked on the weekends which didn't bring in much money. I would also buy her clothes and stuff when she needed something and I was always happy to help out. She has returned the favor as she has gotten older. It is just the two of us, so we always help each other out whenever we can.

Both my brother and sister live half way around the world. Although I wouldn't really consider them as people needing help for Christmas, I still would like to help them out once in a while. It's just the big brother in me. Although not all the time, I've send out boxes with clothes and toys for their children. Some of them clothes that my kids have outgrown. I know that it isn't much, considering they are not new or anything, I just feel better if it is put to good use, and they save a little money by not buying clothes that their kids would also outgrow.

I really do feel sorry for your sister at this time. It is not the best time to have no money, especially as christmas really is around the corner, even worse when you have children to buy for and things can be so very expensive. It is so hard to buy when you do not have the money available. I think it is really nice of you to help your sister out so much, not just because she is your sister or the fact that christmas is as good as here but it shows that you are a loving caring generous person, she is happy to have a sister like you. I have helped my sister out in the past just as she has been there for me when i have needed her, i guess it is the fact that they are so close to you and you know in your heart that it is sight to help them. I love what you have done, hopefully she does get you a good present and hopefully she gets her money situation sorted so and will begin to pay you back. Let's hope that if you were in the same position that she is now in then she would do the same for you. That shows family loyalty really, good on you.

That's indeed sweet of you Dora! I really appreciate. I am sure your sister loves you as well. Many times, when I am in need, my sisters help me out and try their best to make me happy. Rarely, I find myself helping them with monetarily. However, I love being with them and their families and try to spend quality time with them or do some errands or go out on my day to give my hands at something they are trying to do...that's my way to help myself.

Dorann- My sister-in-law and I help each other back and forth. I've helped her with bills, she's helped me. We try to do for each other what we can and more than anything provide emotional support for each other through life. I do feel good that we can help each other when we need it. Namaste-Anora

Hi dora, nice to hear that you helped your sister. Have a wonderful Christmas. Yes, i too help my sister if she ask me, there are many occasions but i don't want to disclose it here. I feel it is my duty or responsibility to help my family members and also friends. I will help them for the sake of job or money, i sincerely try for them, if i got failed in it, then i feel very bad than them. Have a good day.

I never helped out my sister before but my sister did help me out before. I thing your sister will feel very glad to have you. But instead of waiting for others people to help her, why dont she do some part time job first while waiting for employment?

That's so good to hear. I am not blessed with JOB so far, trying hard for it but no luck from past 1 year. So money wise No i haven't helped my sister yet in any sense but whenever my help is required in any tense/sad moment i give my best support to her and to all my brother and sisters so that they all get back to happiness.
