Going down the memory lane, I remember the time when I had a woman with clothes. She belonged to a rather underprivileged situation, financial status. and I made sure she and her family had enough clothes to celebrate the major festival of our country. They needed help because her husband died a few years ago. she is unemployed but my mom calls her to help us in our moon sometimes. I gathered all of my good dresses that I no longer wear but were extremely gorgeous and I was certain that her children and herself would love them as I’m a woman and she’s too she would definitely fit my size as we are of similar frame and I tried to be a little sleazy about it so that no other person in my family would find out that I was donating my brand new stuff but I just wanted to make sure that they were able to enjoy their time of the festival as well and I felt a sense of peace after being able to offer such kind of help to her because if I’m sure she was in my shoes she would want to give something to an underprivileged person as well and in addition to that I had saved up some cash and I handed her a 500 rupee note because it’s the time of celebrations and you would obviously you want to eat good and you need money to buy stuff. It was not a lot but I am sure it definitely did make up for something that she had lost and I just don’t want anyone to know about this. I want to keep it a secret. So yeah that is the time when I helped someone in need. It felt liberating.

Going down memory lane, I remember the time when I helped a woman with clothes. She belonged to a rather underprivileged situation, financially. I made sure she and her family had enough clothes to celebrate the major festival of our country. They needed help because her husband had died a few years ago. She is unemployed, but my mom calls her to help us in our home sometimes. I gathered all of my good dresses that I no longer wear but were extremely gorgeous, and I was certain that her children and she would love them. As I am a woman and she is too, she would definitely fit my size as we are of similar frame. I tried to be a little discreet about it so that no one else in my family would find out that I was donating my brand new items, but I just wanted to make sure that they were able to enjoy their time during the festival as well. I felt a sense of peace after being able to offer such help to her because if I were in her shoes, I would want to give something to an underprivileged person as well. In addition to that, I had saved up some cash, and I handed her a 500 rupee note because during celebrations, you obviously want to eat well, and you need money to buy things. It was not a lot, but I am sure it definitely made up for something that she had lost. I just didn't want anyone to know about this. I wanted to keep it a secret. So, yeah, that is the time when I helped someone in need. It felt liberating.
