I definitely think you did the right thing. What could it hurt right? You will get blessings regardless.

What was the ladies response?  How did you interpret her response?  Haveyou seen her again and what was her situation? It is not what you did, that's done.  What is her ongoing situation?  Will she get on her own or continue to liv on the financial edge?  Does she know what and how?  All this plus her ability to communicate in English, which will make a difference.

Re: Did I do the right thing? Yes!

That was a wonderful thing you did Tony. It brought a smile to my face

I have had family come from Russia/Ukraine and I know how hard it is for them when they first get here ie.not knowing the language,being all alone in a strange new country, etc...


I am sure she appreciated it very much.

Happy Holidays to you Tony!!!

You should be Proud of Yourself

You were acting in a kind way.

You're a sweetheart!  Don't question your good intentions, God knows we could use more of them in this world!

But, don't get wrapped up too much. This could possibly tear you apart.

Don't lose yourself in the "saviour" mode.

You were kind, and it sounds like it was to someone who actually needed it (i.e. it wasn't pathetic "white knight" behavior).  What could be wrong with that?

I congratulate you for your fine efforts and feel her pain, too. In fact, please let me know her phone number so I can get in touch with her and help heal her pain.

Right on Tony, My frequent provider needs no help from me, yet every time I see her I bring a small gift usually fresh flowers and a stuffed animal. Point being, there is nothing wrong in giving extras to a SP; regardless is their in need or not. lots of boneheaded clients think that guys who give extras or try being friends with a provider are naive and weak because it is all a job. You did good Tony.

are you sure it wasn't a trick pad?
