Can we actually help the distressed people?

The best thing to do t help those people that you've enumerated..is to start doing action. If you were rich or wealthy enough to give them foods and shelter then do it now. Good things undone will remain failure. So,once you think that doing good things to other people is good,then,at least give actions. Money is not the main problem actually,if you don't have the money to give and support those poor people at least you can asks some help from organizations that extends help. You can also be a volunteer...a lot of organization and charitable institutions were trying their best to reach the unfortunate ones. I am into charities...and i try to reach and help the needy in my own little way to reach them. This is the only way i know i can be a useful person when it comes to extending help. We can never help them just by thinking how can we help them. Action is the best answer.

Hi dear friend. You must have noticed that my myLot username is faridmadeabillion. Yes, I want to be a billionaire or a trillionaire not only for myself but also to help the poor and helpless. If you look into my country, Bangladesh, you'll see that how abnormally the price of the essentials are soaring high causing us lose our sleep. And the govt. don't really care for us at all. The govt. people are busy amassing wealth for the comfort of their own future leisure when they'll not be in power. As a member of a poor family, I know it very well how much suffering and inconvenience is there to live in wants. And the bitter truth is the govt. is indirectly responsible for the abnormal price hike. They are not taking any action against the importers, hoarders and whole-sellers who are raising prices creating a false crises for these goods. While in relaxation, I always pray to Allah so that he may help me earn a vast amount of money with which I'll be able to help poor and helpless. If I get rich, I'll open a multi-departmental shop where all the goods will be sold at lower prices than the market prices. I think this will prove very much helpful for the poor. May Allah give us all good intention.

My mother used to say "don't give them the fish, teach them how to go fishing" Do you see the difference? The only solution is to teach people. World was never fair. You can not help people who don't want to get help. Teach people who are hungry for knowledge and they are willing to learn.

I think that by putting our heads together we can all come up with something that would help. I believe that listening to people talk about their problems does help with emotions, but your right only by taking action do we solve any problems. I hope that your are successful in your journey to help those in need. Would it help if you chose one particular need and shoot for it? You are already promoting the idea by posting your concern. So maybe if people give you suggestions and direction to point you. Action could be taken and Goals can be met. Blessings and good luck to you.

hi! Yes, I think we can help distressed people, like try to listen to them and to their problems, because the most of the distressed people, are distressed because of some pressure or problem in their daily round and there is no one to help them, or nobody, who want to do it. So the first step by helping distressed people is to listen to their problems and to share ours with them, so that we can make a connection between us and them, and I think it is going to work!
