Sharing is Caring

It's Ramadan the Islamic Holy month of fasting which happens to fall during summer this year SMILE. If you're not familiar with the practice it's simple ie; refrain from food and beverage from sun up to sun down as well as things that would distract you from religious studies.In case you missed it i'm fasting. During this month it is also required of those who are financially capable to give a portion of their earnings towards charity outside of our normal charity practices. So basically that could mean donating a bulk of food to someone in need.

This isn't always someone who is homeless.As a matter of fact I was the recipient of such donations a couple of times in the past. I was given several kinds of lentils, lamb, and a few other items. I think those are very good choices for a food donation especially non perishables like dried beans,whole grains, or canned items. In times like these we can see clearly many people are just getting by so why not lend a hand during hard times. You know a single parent has it pretty rough especially if he or she is trying to juggle 2 or more children, work, bills, home life, and sanity in the same pot. So what if you don,t know them personally show a little compassion and offer to help with dinner one night or offer to babysit while she runs errands. I don't think that's to much to ask but the thing is she probably wont but this is where you come in and put your foot in her shoes and mentally go there with what her life could be like. Compassion is just a doorbell away.
