Let's have a thread discussing charitable deeds, activities, and stories relevant to Christian living; so anything you have to share, would like advice with, I.E. giving blood, suitable/trustworthy charities, the lot, as I personally have found this a difficult thing in my life to really bring forth into fruition, and, IMO there can hardly be enough of it. Do you know anyone who could use your help? Why don't you? Do you know of any saints whose lives truly exemplified charity, and might be emulated, other than Saint Nicholas? Do you have any insights to share? Etc.

I'll start; near me there is a household where a genuine family murder drama transpired, involving the deaths of two people. I don't even almost know these people personally, and never have, but recently I've seen the house being lived in again. I don't know if it's autism preventing me from it, or if I'm considering something inappropriate and should just stick with prayers, but do you think it would be wise to go over there and tell them something along the lines of, I know (this and that), if you ever need anyone to talk to, I hope I could be of some help, or would that be a bad idea?

I always feel very uncharitable, and I don't know why. IRL, I don't tell anyone about my charity as instructed by the Bible, but I will here.

>for every dollar I spend on myself, I donate one dollar to either House of Hope (local charity), Catholic Charities (global charity), or to Next Step Women's Center (assists women to carry to term, support their child-expenses, and combat abortion)

>I give blood once a month despite it being a phobia of mine

>I do free private and public maths tutoring four days a week for my students

>About five years ago, I donated 30% of all my wealth to my parish church (still kind of reeling from that one, lol)

And then, in general, I just try to give my time and help to others. Yet, it always feel like it's never enough. I keep thinking about how Jesus asked the rich man to give up everything and follow him, and I think that I'm not doing enough because I have private property. That, perhaps, I might be better off giving up everything and living innawoods or in a monastery.

I'm in the city alot and I see many beggars in penn I'd like to help but I always just pass by them due to my autism and in partial fear of being stabbed.

The other day one came to me for help but I think I just got scammed by 2 roma, I feel a little upset not cause i lost the money cause i wish i could have used that 40 for someone who really needed it and not 2 hucksters who used it to get an uber for God knows what.
