Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich Picture Quote #1

I live to feel her fingers move inside of me like this. The bus makes another stop. A fat man climbs aboard, hauling himself up the stairs.

We all live because of her generosity Picture Quote #1

We all have families who are longing for peace in the world and an end to the suffering caused by poverty, disease, and hunger.
