As you start your day and head out for work, you drop by your favourite coffee shop to buy your morning coffee. You barely think about how much that cup of coffee costs. That small amount of money is nothing to you but for a person who has nothing to eat, it is more than enough to buy a decent meal. You normally go about your life, unmindful of the people around you who have so little. These poor people can barely get one meal in a day. There are days when they just have to go by without eating because they have no means to buy food. These poor souls could use a little help.

By giving help for people, it does not mean that you have to sell all your valuables and donate all your money to charity. Help for poor people can be given by making small sacrifices each day. There may be days when you can go by without buying your morning coffee from your favourite coffee shop. It is such a small sacrifice on your part to go by for one day without gourmet coffee. Instead of buying your favourite latte, you can just brew a cup of coffee at home before you head out for work. The money that you save can be set aside as your donation to give help for poor people. At the end of one month, that money can be such a big help for poor people in your community.

Another sacrifice that you can make is by giving up your night out at the cinema for a few days each month. Going to the movies may seem such a small cost to you but that money can be such a big help for poor people. It can buy them food that they badly need. Instead of going out to the movies, you can stay home and watch a DVD instead.

These are just small acts but they can give you a sense of satisfaction because you have sacrificed a few of your simple joys in life in order to give help for poor people. There are so many things that may seem insignificant to you but for a person who is in need, they can mean the world. Of course, when there is a fundraiser in your community you can always go and make a hefty donation out of the generosity of your heart.
