Somewhere in the 1980's a black neighbor lady has had asked me if she can use my phone to call her mom, who lived in another state. She did not have a phone of her own ,it was Thanksgiving day, but the weather was bad and the sheriff had closed all the roads. She usually visits her mom in that other state, but couldn't that time.
There were no cellphones in the 1980's or the companies probably were working on them. In the 1980's there were only land lines, I gave the lady permission to use my phone to call her mom, I also told her not to worry about to paying me back, also told her I get bonus checks from work during the holidays .Understand Ly she was on the phone for one hour, but I did not mind. She said "thank you for letting me use your phone" and went back home.
If that lady needed to use my phone again it will be always be granted. When people regardless of race, peaceful religion beliefs or sexual orientation need help, and if I am able then I will always oblige.
In the later years, I have help people with their computer problems, if a man lives alone they just say "thank you" and I just go home, however if the man is married, or has a girlfriend they usually call me in a few days, to invite me for dinner, it is usually the wives' or girlfriends' idea,just to say "thank you" since I did not charge them, and yes I went to their dinners, it is and was the polite thing to do.
At a grocery store after I paid for my groceries . A lady and I believe her 5 year old daughter was behind me, she had enough money to pay for most of her groceries except she had no money left, to buy asthma inhalers for her daughter *, I told the grocery clerk and the lady "Hold on, I'll pay for it and gave her $20" and I told her that her daughter's life is worth more than $20, much more, Now, if I was unable to do this, I am very sure other people, at the store would pitch in to help. That's what people should always do, is to help each other, if they are able, or ask for help, never be afraid to ask for help. * some grocery stores have built-in pharmacies.
