How much do you give away as charity ?

I never keep track- but I try to help someone each day. Many times I give my time instead of money. Right now I have a friend who has just lost her home. We have spent time helping her clean and pack, gave her some money to help in her move and then all of us friends chipped in to get her a couple of new outfits and a massage. The quakers believed that we should never get ourselves a luxury until our neighbors had all their necessities. C S Lewis said to how much should we give? We shpuld give until we feel a pinch.

dear alokn it is like mylot. somebody is there to keep a tab on how much or how little you are doing. but it is important to keep on doing it. it is making a difference in some ones life. and let us keep on doing it regularly.

I was once told by a sage that we must give 10% of our salary to charity, beginning from the most needy family relative and then if not, outside. I have been following this practice since then. I have a very old and needy lady in my family to whome this help goes out. I also never throw out food. Whatever is left out goes to the poor beggars outside. I have never kept track of this for it should come from the heart. I have one last desire, to donate my eyes to some needy.
