I spend about $1k/mo on groceries and basic necessities for a single immigrant mom with five kids who escaped an abusive relationship. Plus some extras like birthday or Christmas presents for the children. Emergency costs too.
Started buying some items for them in 2020 when the pandemic hit and they lost what little income they had. Slowly it grew into large-scale support, and I'm committed to help to get the folks to adulthood.
The impact: I've learned to let go and become less stingy. Donate much more frequently these days because I realized I have more than enough. Much happier this way.
