Help In The Nick Of Time
When I was younger, I used to say that if I were a millionaire, I would start a charity that helps people with the little things in life, like paying overdue electric bills or rent. I noticed that most charities and the state welfare system only seemed to help people in dire circumstances, and that a lot of people were stuck in the middle because they had a difficult time with their finances, but weren’t bad off enough to receive help. I wanted to fill that gap and help people so that they didn’t have to become destitute. It looks like I’m not the only one who had that idea. Modest Needs is a charity that does just that. People from around the country donate money and other people from around the country receive it. The money can be used for past due bills, medical necessities, car fixes and any other expense that may cause a temporary financial setback.
