I feel like the richest girl on earth

This morning I spent time feeding and giving out free school supplies to the unfortunate children in our city. My father makes it a point to give help to the needy every month and I make it a point to join him and my mom in doing just that. I give out some of my old but functional toys because I know these kids would love it, and they did. They enjoyed the food that my mother cooked, and they thank my dad for the school supplies he gave them. We are not a rich family. My parents are both employees but they have managed to raise us their children with hard work and perseverance. There are also times when we need to save up for something because money is sometimes hard to earn. But whenever we have some extra, we extend help to the needy. Although we are not rich, whenever the unfortunate kids would give thanks to our family, I feel as if I am the richest girl in the world for having a wonderful parents who knows how to extend a helping hand to other people.

You are such a good woman and very generous. When you do help the others, you are the richest already... We can do help the others people whenever we can, don't need to wait till we have much money, don't need to wait till we are the rich... I am very happy whenever i can help anyone.

Just like you friend, I am happy when I can help anyone. We are not rich, but with the little of what we have, we are still lucky that we are able to eat on time everyday, and not everyone have something to satisfy their hunger, so we all should help whichever way we can.

I applaud you and your family's effort. Your love for humanity is truly amazing and phenomenal. Your parents have instilled in you that we all have a responsibility to be our brother and sister's keepers. I am sure so many were uplifted by your efforts. I think our lives are so much bigger when we can give and receive fully. We all need to realize that we all benefit when we help, share and contribute to one another.

Hello Beaufly, I agree with you when you said that we all need to realize that we all benefit when we help others because I always believe that whatever you give out to the universe will be given back to you in return.
