One good deed to the woman I cherish

in Hive Learnerslast year

"One good turn they say deserves another" This is why it is good to do unto others what we want them to do unto us. Don't dish out wickedness to people if you don't want them to return the same to you, there are times I wish I could be at all places at the same time just to help anyone in need of assistance and to put a smile on their faces. I often want to act like a superhero who can bring peace and comfort to all mankind but unfortunately, it is impossible 4 me. I have noticed something in society today, no one cares about what others feel anymore. Everyone is after their selfish interest and all they want for themselves.

We can be good to people in different ways, it's not a must it's in monetary form, but these days I guess people prefer the monetary form. Advises no longer weigh much importance as people lay more emphasis on the helper, someone who can help financially and not just with word of mouth alone. If I'm to render one good deed this season to someone, it will be a lady whom I've known for a very long time. She is a single mother as she lost her husband to the cold hands of death two years ago. Since the demise of her husband, things have been extremely difficult for her, catering to her male child all alone has become a burden.

Taking care of her son's schooling is somehow difficult because she doesn't have a good job presently, she is teaching in a private school that offers her just #15,000 monthly. She also needs to pay for house rent and other bills just to live well, I do pity her anytime we discuss because I can see through all the pains she is going through. I became fond of her because she has severally helped me when I was in need too even though she didn't have enough. Giving is her way of life, out of the little she has, she does extend a hand to others and this makes me love her so much.

If I'm to render a good deed this season, I would love to help her with her rent and her son's school fees and also give her money to establish a little business that can fetch her money to take care of their feeding and their other needs. I've always had her in mind and this prompt has helped me to put it on my list, I would love to at least help her with her son's school fees which I'm sure will save her lots of stress. I learned a lot of lessons from her, being a single mother, she didn't let that weigh her down, she always worked extra hard to provide for her son and train the boy to be contented with what he has. She is a woman who never gives up, although she is going through a lot, she always keeps a smiling face and lives in peace with everyone around her.

Thanks for your time and your comments will be appreciated.

My heart goes out for single parents like these but she has standout so well to even have a heart of giving despite having very little

I cherish her for that, I always wondered how she pulled that off.

Hello @rare-gem

Good afternoon, I've been doing that lately, and with time I know I will get better. Thanks for your concern, I appreciate it.

God bless your kind heart dear.

It's painful the condition she's in. Many people are in similar. Sometimes what we just plead for from life is a roof over our heads and daily bread.

I hope the society and economy gets better

Amen oo

This is an honourable thought, being a single mother is never easy, having to carry the whole responsibility of the family and also give out from the little she has, shows she is a woman of great character. I would do the same too if I were in your shoes.

I'm glad you see from my perspective

It is good to know, you are helping people with soft hands. A woman without a man faced many difficulties. Your choice is good, help her if you want. I appreciate your step for her school boys.

Thanks for reading. I just wish to put a smile on her face

Help when you can, you never can tell in how many folds is returning back to you.. it's very difficult for single mothers out there and it's such a wonderful thought you have for her. God help you to help her🙏🙏

Amen thanks for reading.
